    Hey – I TOTALLY agree….

    I hate not just living life without wondering how I’m going to feel. And when I do feel good, wondering if I should enjoy it or take it easy. I’m tired of thinking about it everyday. Some days have gone by that I haven’t really thought much about it and there are other days that I obsess about how I’m feeling.

    OK, translation for scunnered?

    Hey all,

    Ok we have a weigh-in thread but I think we all need a wee outlet so I am starting a "FED UP/ HATE THIS DISEASE/ IT HAS PUT MY LIFE ON HOLD/ SOMETIMES FEEL OK/ NEED A WEE VENT AND SOME CUDDLY REPLIES" thread <img decoding=” title=”Very Happy” /> <img decoding=” title=”Very Happy” />

    You know there are days when you accept all that is happening to your health and then there are days when you think how on earth has this happened to me? My life has been overtaken by this condition for 4 years (thats 4 years of ill health where I have rarely been able to be spontaneous because I have felt so ill and then need to weigh up if I will suffer for days after having a "good" day out) and after major surgery, where others are fairing so well I feel like I am back to stage 1 but at the opposite end of the spectrum.

    I am trying to remain positive and to be honest I am feeling better in different ways but starting to feel unwell in other areas :roll: . What I find really hard is that I am always having to weigh up how I am going to feel on the day of a big event or if I do this how will I feel? Is it worth it?

    Anyone else feel this overwhelming burden somedays?

    M xxxxxxx

    OK — here’s the warm cuddly post. <img decoding=” title=”Wink” /> This, too, will pass. You will reach a point where you can anticipate feeling well as much of the time as you did before getting Graves. It’s hard when you are going through all the hormonal changes, and waiting for your body to heal. It takes way, way more time than any of us want. The vast majority of us regain our health.

    Jake, who started the bulletin board long ago, created an image that helped me a lot when I was where you are now: the Graves Warrior. Instead of feeling like I was the prey of some giant cosmic joke, the "Victim", I began to think of myself as a fighter. It made a difference, so I pass it along.

    And, I’m sending hugs —
