Hi, I am still busy trying to find a new endo. Much harder than I thought it would be. Called the Manitoba Chapter of the Thyroid Foundation of Canada today and was told of a Thyroid Clinic at one of the hospitals. However, must wait until my GP gets back from holidays to ask him to refer me.
In the mean time, I am ready to give up. The 10 years of being hyper were hell, but this is no picnic. Since RAI two and a half years ago my health has been steadily declining. My levels have never stablized. This weekend I gained another 10 pounds between Saturday and Monday morning. My face looks like a huge swollen pumpkin. My eyes are so swollen they look like slits. My hands and feet are swollen. The pain in my hips and legs is enough to make me break out in a sweat. I cannot remember what a good night’s sleep feels like. I am so exhausted! My endo told me on June 2 that my problems were not related to thyroid disease and that I must be depressed. I really do not know what to do next or where to turn. All I know is that I am too tired to think straight and in too much pain to even care.
Sorry to be so negative but thanks for listening.
