Making it through

The last several months have been hard for myself and family. Thanks to god we are making it through each day a little easier. I have been getting better health wise also. The Narcolepsy has taken me for a long and winding ride. My doctors believe had my Narcolepsy not appeared they would not have found the hurthle cells on my thyroid. Another blessing from god for sure.
My thyroid levels are now perfect for me. My TSH is .90 and I have been feeling better. My Endo was wonderful on my last visit. He is a caring doc and since learning of my Narcolepsy he is a little more understanding of my symptoms and the need to keep my thyroid levels as close to 1 as possible to avoid a combo of symptoms.
I see a psychiatrist to treat my Narcolepsy. She is wonderful - she also specializes in Neuro disorders so I am in heaven having found her. I am currently on a regime of ritalin and cymbalta for the N ( of course this has caused a bit of depression too) and have regained some of my energy. I have come to the realization I will have good days and bad and must accept limits. This road has been a long one but faith, family, and friends have seen me through the worst of it and the best of it, without these I would not have made it through.
God Bless~
