I took yesterday off, and voila. Guess who felt great again. I woke up
exhausted because I’ve been pretty hyped up the last few days. My eyes
have been feeling filled with pressure and slightly achy. It feels good
to press against them.
When I woke up, I couldn’t imagine facing flourescent lights and a
computer screen. One day off and I feel great. Unbelievable.
Even though I’ve had about 12 hours of doctors appts and tests, I’ve only
taken one sick day in the past two and a half months since the onset of
GD. I felt guilty taking time off at first, not being able to pinpoint
traditional sick time reasons: no flu symptoms etc. Just had to talk
myself out of it and as was mentioned in another BB to the student not
getting any help or understanding from her professors, I suppose if I
got comments at work I too could bring in a list of symptoms. Dr. Weil
has a concise explanation of Grave’s Disease on his web page (search
hyperthyroidism) if anyone needed one in simple language. (www.ask Dr.
Weil)(I think).
