I should mention about the other surgery. My endocrinologist said I could have surgery to remove some of the bone around my eyes to allow for the inflamed tissue to expand. Maybe I should not wear my contacts day in and day out like I was. I’m wearing my glasses now. Which is helping.
And I’ve been taking my thyroid pills like a good little girl. I was on another forum and asked for help in the sleep issue and the eye pain and someone found this site for me, and since then my pills have changed and I have been getting that wonderous thing called sleep. It is nice.
My eyes aren’t hurting as much.
Yes I know I need to quit smoking. I have Chantix, I can’t do it alone. But the side effects I’m worried about. With my history of mania and suicidal thoughts and attempts, I’m leary of it. I can’t afford the nicotine gum or patches. My life is stressful and the cigarettes help ease that, and yes that is a crutch I realize that. I could barely afford the klonipin this month. I’m on powerful drugs as is. As in the seroquel, klonipin, lunesta, minipress, lamictal, topomax.
To elaborate on the pant situation, I asked if I could wear my capris during my thyroidectmy and I was allowed but my body started to excessively sweat, they had to take them off. I was in the hospital for two days because of complications. I was treated like a child, I had to wear a splint for the I.V. Never had I had to have one of those in my previous surgeries, the I.V ended up puncturing my vein and the fluids leaked out into my arm. I had a huge bubble. It was a horrid experience. Couldn’t afford pain killers got sent home with four Vicodins. And I suffered. I was told I had hasimotios *spelling? Now I’m told I have Grave’s Disease. Its all confusing.
