Well I had an endoscopy this morning that I was freaking out about. For no good reason, it was a piece of cake. I love that the last thing I remember was them rolling me onto my side and waking up 4 hours later in my own bed with no memory of getting there. I'm so scared to ask my husband what we talked about!
Oh and got great news yesterday that being on 137 mcg instead of 150 mcg is going to work for me at keeping the TSH under 1. Endo had a cow at my request but agreed to let me try it and my TSH came back yesterday at 0.09! I'm finally feeling good now.

This is the perfect place for this one...feel free to laugh since I didn't die and it sounds so crazy....
I went to work (I'm a teacher) and picture this...the kids were selling these scented pencils during my morning duty time....the kids were "test smelling" them and 75 scented pencils later I had an anaphlactic shook reaction to the bubble gum, watermelon, root beer, etc....had to go the ER where the doc thought I was a loon when I told him about the "scencils"....my regular doc made me promise to carry an epi-pen everwhere I go and told me to go on sabatical until they can figure it out....
If there is a garlic scented one, I'm sure it would keep full-moon vampires away....LOL

Ok I haven't done one of these in a while so this might be a bit long, but alas I must get it all out. My balloon needs some serious deflating! :)
Let's see...my Grandpa's passing has left me questioning so many things. The main one being my own marriage. My grandparents have a 52 year marriage...I can't even fathom that! I just wonder if I'll ever make it to next year with the way things have been going...with health, happiness, and separation. I feel like I've fallen out of like with him and yet I still feel like he'll always be my best friend no matter what. I'll always love him for blessing me with the most wonderful son in the world! I just don't know...and that has been hard. I felt being with my Grandfather during his last 48hours was the first time in my life I truely knew I was meant to be right there and no where else. I can't help but feeling like that tells me something...that I'm not where I am meant to be right now, place, mind, and spirit. So I have a lot to work through, but I'm praying for answers. They'll come. One day.
Doctors...how I loathe thee...let me count the ways:
So before I left for "home" to be with my Gramps I went to see a new doctor. She is the last of the females in our dwindelling clinic so I figured, she comes highly recommended...why not? Boy was I wrong! Not 5 minutes into the visit (to which I waited 35 extra minutes!) she gives me a survey to fill out and leaves the room. She comes back in and "evaluates" it. She turns to me and says, "Well I have to tell you that if your lab results come back normal then next month when I see you we'll be discussing depression and medications to place you on." I had all I could do from calling her an ignorant you-know-what. I leave. Skip the lab. Vent to my husband--who then has me fill out a complaint form online. I've done this multiple times with no feedback so I felt it was a total waste of time. It gets submitted and within hours I get a call! I explain the appointment to the wonderful nurse who then suggests I see the one doctor in the clinic who did a 2 week internship with an Endocrinologist and *knows* about thyroid issues....suprise suprise when she mentioned it was Dr. B! (And no I'm not being mean, her last name really starts with a B...) I flat out refuse. So I told her unless it was Internal Meds or ENT I would not be happy. We quickly discuss each option and she agrees that ENT will only want to operate to *fix* the problem. On to Internal Meds...
Doctors...how I love thee...let me count the ways:
Late last week after returning from Gramps' house I get my appointment. I was seen by the Department Head of I.M.! Wow did I feel special. Well he comes in and has no record in hand! I was puzzled by this. He simply told me he wanted no preconceived notion of who I was other than by his own opinion. :) Speechless! :) So he knew nothing, nadda, zippo, zilch about me! :) We started from square one. He asked a few questions, I was as detailed as possible. He ordered a butt-load of labs and told me he was sorry for all I'd gone through and had such a horrible experience the last 5 years. I truely know this doctor is for the patient and not out for "The Best Doctor of the Year" Award. :) Maybe I've found the one doctor in a million. Please keep our fingers crossed that he is the doctor I've been praying for.
On other notes...
My Mum has been venturing out to see holistic doctors. She's been having wonderful success with an Accupressurist (Sp?). I will keep sending my happy vibes to her that she finds/receives the answers she has been so despretly seeking for over a decade! She deserves answers and a break from all her ailments. She even told me her Accupressurist told her I should see a Chiropractor and an Accupuncturist and that should take care of my issues. She did not know my Mum had a daughter. And my Mum being my Mum first thought it was my Brothers...but the lady told her it was her child with hormone issues and who also has stomach/bowel issues. My Mum didn't say anything and the lady looked at her and said, your child who rocks a lot, I don't get the feeling it's a male, do you have a girl? So my Mum just nodded. The lady said to relay the info to me and to reassure me everything would be okay. That I'd be better soon.
--Guess I'll be trying out those two docs! :) I'm willing to try anything and I'm beginning to think holistic is the way to go. Too many docs want to shove unneccessary meds our way...like depression meds. I'll let you all know what I think.
My son...oh I love him so very much. He gave me the biggest hug tonight and actually snuggled with me for 30 minutes! He never sits still. I guess he knew his Amma needed that. :) He is so precious! I can't believe he's almost 2!!!! Time's flying.
Thanks for letting me vent guys! This is truely the ****BEST**** support community out there! I love you all!

I got almost blown up by improperly shut down defective equipment as it tried to restart itself automatically!
Yeah .... we crazies are all out on full moons. There is a full moon once a month and I have a calendar that alerts me a few days ahead of time LOL.

Didn't we just have a full one a couple of weeks ago?
I can't take these crazy people when this moon is full so close together.

Explains my sensitive stuff now these last two days. and my crabbyness and my isolation personality the next moment.
HOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I too am having a down on docs week yet again. In one breath they say my thyroid is still swinging about due to pressure from my premature menopause. They stopped my HRT and I have virtually no oestrogen. Suffering extreme palpitations and look like a dried up old prune now. Yet they still throw in that irritating word! They ask, are you sure you're not just "stressed"! And I want to say: "Of course I'm b....y stressed! Who wouldn't be!" You think I'd be used to being fobbed off by now wouldn't you!
BTW, How and where do you get all the pictures that you post in the forum.
Thanks in advance
Terri

Laura, I thought I was having a bad time right now. I agree with Cheryl, maybe the full moon will take all this away.
As for me. I am ticked with ALL my doctors. The ENT, Endo, Ortho, Asthma, Primary, Chiro and all those I don't know yet. All of them tell me one thing and do another. I wish I could scrap them all and dig in the next set head and see what makes them tick. Everybody hears me, but no one is listening. The big headed pea brains.
I'm still trying to get my voice back, which has been out of whack since Dec 07, so the ENT has me seeing a speech therapist.
The Ortho tells me that I need knee replacements, but I can't have the surgery until I lose some weight. Instead, I get knee injections, which ticks me the he// off. they hurt.
The Endo doesn't know which way is up. We sit and stare at each other for most of the visit and he says I'm ok. I can't get into normal range. He keeps flucuating between 100 and 112 mg of synthroid. I feel like I'm on a see saw.
The Asthma/Allergist loves to give me shots. He's ok. I just don't want the allergy shots. I keep getting bronchitis and touch of pneumonia and lots of meds and he doesn't know why.
Maybe I should go outside and bay at the moon. Maybe it will help me. I guess I have vented enough. I'll let someone else have a go of it.
Thanks for allowing me to vent.
Take care

Arrrrrrr-ooooooooooooooooooooooww! Love that full moon! Gets the beast in me going! Today is a yuk day....feeling pretty low,...energy wise totally wiped. I know why too....taking my thyroid meds around the USA in a car cooler and having it go through contant temperature changes has left me with a medication that may as well be in the trash can! I realised this about the week after the big adventure across to Grand Canyon...that is the timing of when you notice the difference....well, for me it was anyways....Told darling man of this and he was very sad....so as soon as I got home I started the new pack from home all nice and chilled off at the right constant temperature. So now it'll take another week to kick in...bleurgh!
In the meantime daylight savings started a whole month early here...so THAT sure don't help with jet lag I can tell you! So between getting home to a dud thyroid mix, a rebellious teenage son, his school calling me every five minutes, an Asperger's friend who won't shut the bleeeeeep up, and no chance of a rest to adjust to my own Aussie timezone...I am whacked! NOW I am off to the dentist for that continual root canal treatment....so I'll go out tonight and HOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWL with the neighbour hood dogs. I reckon that'll be most cathartic!
Cheers from the day ahead you are yet to have! Hee hee

Aunt Flo has came to visit me, other than that, just moody, wow laura you poor thing! I loved my medrol dosepak lol. I had a very bad sinus infection and wow that was gone. All the things i was on this year lol!:) I don't recall getting dizzy, but who knows couldve lol. But yes it should subside. Now rest and heal Laura! Nothing else is bothering me but my dang anxiety squash it squash it lol, of course could be because of aunt flo too. But like I said been on it all this year cuz they couldn't figure out it was my thyroid, so anything new just ask me was probably on it lol!
Sending [[[ go away dizziness vibes ]]]] maybe the full moon will work .. some of our friends are in Tuesday already so I posted today LOL!

Okay I will start..........I have been fighting bronchitis from catching it from my daughter. Last monday I ended up in the ER not able to breathe from an asthma attack. I hadn't had a problem with my asthma in 10 yrs! wow.....anywho....they of course gave me IV of steriods and lovely breathing treatments which helped me wonderfully. Then they sent me on my way with nebulizer treatments and a medrol streriod dosage pack....yuck! No side effects until the 4th day which was dizziness.....it has not left yet...lol I am feeling like a spinning top....help! Will this go away? I finished my last pill yesterday. But, my breathing is much better! So thank God for that and for not allowing me any serious side effects. I had never taken a steriod dosage pack before.
My thyroid is stable for now though....I had them check my tsh real quick in the er to make sure the breathing issue wasn't due to thyroid going hypo. I am thankful for that!
i just need this dizziness to go away. Maybe the full moon will work....lol
Anyway that is why i haven't been on much in the past 3 weeks. Hope everyone is well!!
