    I’m sorry that all that happened to you and it is a bad situation. I think you should think of that critial person as someone who just isn’t informed well about certain things in life. Sometimes the ones who are most critial are really people who are not confitant enough with themselves, so they feel the need to strike out at someone who is at their lowest. This is usually true about that person in school that we called a “bully”.

    When we are sick with Graves Disease it can be difficult to keep our emotions in tack. There is nothing wrong with thism we can’t help it. This is why many of us feel that Graves Disease makes us a more stronger person. You will, again, let certain things roll of your back.

    Just remember there are many people who do care about you and your feelings.

    Afer two years of being normal my hyperthyroid has reoccured and I am scheduled to see the nuclear medicine doctor this coming Tuesday. I live in a rather warm part of the country and the weather has been cooler but my feet always seem to sweat a lot and it is hard to find shoes that I can wear to work. My best pair wore out earlier this year and I haven’t found any good ones to replace them. This past Monday I had tried a new pair but they didn’t seem to be a good choice. At work we’ve also had some men repairing some leaks on the roof around my desk area. Well, about 2-1/2 hours after I left on Monday someone thought they smelled burning wire and then someone else said it just smelled like rubber but evidently someone else called the landlord because they thought it was a problem with the building. Then everyone denied calling when he came on Thursday. Anyway, after the landlord left and I went back to my desk someone on the other side of the office, who is very loud most of the time anyway, said that it was probably my perspiration and then someone else said “And now we have a formal complaint.” Because they had got the landlord involved I went over to a couple of them a little later and said that I was glad that they had a good laugh about the complaint and that I have Graves and cannot always control my sweating. They all denied that they had said anything but one person who is hypothyroid came and talked to me for a long time and was more understanding, even though she had been involved in the original group. The other person who made the original comment about the sweating is very critical anyway but denied that she said it. Anyway, they called a meeting and I was in tears and am now embarassed and depressed about the whole thing. I had only told a couple of people that I trust about my Graves but felt that I needed to tell the people who were involved in this. My boss is on medical leave for at least another month and we’ve had other problems but this involved me personally. After the meeting I heard that critical person say “She is a big baby.” (Unfortunately, I cannot close the door between our areas.) I am an emotional wreck. Sorry this is so long. Maybe I am just venting but am so upset that it is difficult to concentrate on anything else, even at home. If you don’t want to post this I will understand. Thanks for listening anyway.
