feeling....normal now

[dart frog]

I had posted a message about how uptight and stressed out I was. Instead of looking foward to our trip I thought/felt like I'd rather stay home.......

This evening for the first time I was feeling.....excited about it. I took the boys out to buy sleeping bags and stuff and watching them play with their new stuff and daddy showing them how to roll the sleeping bags up....its weird... I kind of felt like my spirit was lighter then it has been in a looooong time!

The "icky" 1 nodule isnt quite as big as it has been and I dont have the normal aches and pain in my neck that I usually do....my hair has stopped falling out ( yes!)  and I have probably laughed more today then I have in weeks.


Im so used to things just   s l o w l y  getting worse that this really surprises me. I dont want to burst my own bubble but.....has this sort of stuff happened to any of you?? Things get better all of a sudden...and can it all go back down hill just as fast?? Please be honest

Once I started on the feeling good path, I haven't really fallen too far off again (and it's been almost 5 months of good).  EVERYONE has their bad days...including non-medicated, non-depressed...blah blah...but for the MOST part it's been good since the meds really started working.

I will pray that it's the same for you!

Last night I was talking to hubby about this and I got to thinking about what I posted and thought.....wow they must think I'm nuts on the board!!

I did ask that you be honest and thank you for that. I guesss I knew in the back of my mind that it might/could go down hill again but...gotta have high hopes right? :-)

My family isnt going to allow me to do too much and I know they'll be watching me like a hawk so.....I figure they can do ALL the worrying if they want, I'm NOT!  If I dont feel good or the pain is back then I'll just have to keep busy having fun and the he## with it!! I can fall apart physically/mentally AFTER I get back home!

Dac's right.  I get really good days and then long periods of Ugh!  Probably because I tend to overdo it on the good days, trying to squeeze everything in when I have the energy.  I think the trip will be good for you.  Really!  It'll get you out of your usual element and you might find you're enjoying yourself, in spite of how you might be feeling.  

Honebunny and I have a 2-week long trip to a renaissance faire at the end of July, which we do every year.  I'm both looking forward to it and dreading it.  It's a lot of fun, but also a lot of work, and with my current energy levels, I'm so afraid I'm just going to "poop out" and be no fun whatsoever.  Still, I also know it'll do me good to get out and about, especially since so many of our long-time friends and extended "family" will be there and we only see them once a year.  Forced socialization can be a good thing. ;)

I'm really glad you're feeling better.  Enjoy it. :)

Forgot to tell you I really like your froggy picture! =)

Sorry, honey, but yeah it can.  But look on the positive, maybe  it will last through your trip.  And just maybe all those prayers that have been coming your way are really working. =)

Am so glad to hear you're feeling so much better!  I am praying that it lasts a long time, and if not, at least through your trip!

I've had that a lot where something great is coming up and all I do is dread it, b/c I would just not have the energy or want to to leave home.  Felt really, really good before and while I was on vacation couple of wks ago and thought maybe I was over all the rough spots since thyroid levels are normal.  But now am back to blah.  Really hating this, too.  Trick is to enjoy every single moment you have of feeling good.  You know if you didn't have the bad the good wouldn't seem nearly as wonderful.  I think now I appreciate every moment of feeling good like I never did before.  Think that would be the one positive to come out of all this.

Did you really mean you wanted honesty?!  :(  Hope you did or you just ignored this.
