Valerie,
I was there a year ago and I just wanted to post a message to you saying it does get much better. My swelling has gone, my levels are under control, my heart no longer races, I’m able to do gentle exercise and my thinking is 100% clearer. So much of the stress related to this disease is because we just can’t think clearly.
I’ve recently gone back to full time work and seem to be coping (except for the normal stresses of not liking my boss).
Now that you’ve been diagnosed, that 99% of the battle done. I’ve opted to stay on the anti – thyroid drugs and have had no serious side effects. Just wanted you to know that you’re not alone, “been there, done that” and came out the other side with more knowledge and patience than I thought I had. You will too. Feel free to e-mail me if you have any questions. The BB was such a well times source of inspiration to me. I hope you find the same.
Take Care
Carol Anne
