..after calling out yesterday. I was vomiting yesterday, on and off for 4 hrs, and very nauseous today, but controlling it by drinking milk (helps me). I felt really sick and woozy and went to get a glass of milk and sit down for a couple minutes, when I came back, my boss sent me home. There’s no sitting in retail! I am so over it. I told him I was trying not to throw up, he said ‘we have it covered, go home if you’re sick’ so I left. Tuesday and Wednesday, I felt decent, like my old self was coming back, then it went downhill yesterday. I can sure relate to the “2 steps forward, 1 step back” dancing. I’m at a loss as to what to do. My brain keeps telling me not to worry about what hasn’t happened yet, just get the shoulder issue out of the way and then tackle whatever else is going on. I’m one of those people that prefer to be prepared, so as not to be devastated when things go to sh*t. Not knowing, from 1 day to the next, what is happening, makes it difficult to be prepared. Not to mention, the ant-nausea meds knock me out cold, I cannot use them and work too. will call the Dr now and see if there is something else that doesn’t do that. I have 4 days scheduled for next week, just got to get thru them.

Ugh, sorry you are going through all of this. Have you thought about possibly seeking a 2nd opinion to see if another doc might be able to help you get to the bottom of these issues? This is obviously having a huge impact on your work and your quality of life!

Take care — I sure hope you see some relief soon!

Of course, I didn’t hear back from the Dr, they have yet to contact me. When I called yesterday, I expected to speak to the DR’s PA, now I find out that the assistant has an assistant. Did you ever play that game when you were in grade school, where you got in a circle and someone whispered a phrase and this continued around the circle until the end, when you find it is nothing close to the original phrase… the more people it goes thru the more screwed up the message becomes. It would be funny if not so damned tragic.

I’m sorry! I’d be really 😡 about the run around! Geez! I hope you get some answers, peace, and healing soon. Aren’t you on 40 mg. of methimazole? Maybe that’s what wreaking havoc on your stomach? I know why you have to have that high dose to prepare for your surgery. But, maybe that’s it? I don’t know. It’s pretty powerful stuff. Good luck & stay strong- you already are a very strong person!!!

Thanks all!
Yeah, it’s 40mg a day, 20mg, twice a day and I’ve gained 8 lbs in the last 2 weeks….oh joy. Can’t believe it (the weight gain) started immediately. But, yeah, being the reason for the high dose, guess I’ll have to deal with it, Dr said it will be reduced after surgery. 😡 I want so bad to cut back on it, but know that isn’t an option right now, besides, I have no labs to go by until after surgery. ‘Breathe’………’relax’……like that’s possible right now! 😮
I have managed to get the apartment clean, all except the bedroom and that will have to wait till tomorrow, I’m exhausted. Hadn’t mopped my floors in weeks, have all wood floors here. But, it’s all nice and clean and that makes me feel better, I hate it when the place is a wreck and it never was until recently. When I’m working, I can’t do anything, I’m so wiped out from my job, so everything gets pushed to weekends. Gonna take a rest for a bit…. maybe after I change the sheets.
