Don’t you just love people that are healthy? they don’t understand any of this. I’ve never wanted to slash my wrists, too messy. but I’ve had handfuls of pills and almost nearly downed them. I got chicken. when I told this to the doctors at integrative medicine, they looked like I was nutso.
But that’s for healthy people that just dont understand and have had a happy life so good for them.
@Sue, I know about colitis. I was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis years ago and took drugs to stop it. Colonoscopies and the upper GI series. Yuck. My heart goes out to you.
@Boomer, I imagine you are at the end of your rope. I have been there. As a matter of fact, my Graves + menopause doesn’t mix. I HATE THE HEAT. My gyno laughed last week. I told her I wanted to go to Alaska or Antartica. Someplace freezing. I want to be on the crab boat on “Deadliest Catch.” that looks nice and cool:) I think it’s important to keep a sense of humor with this as this morning I woke up in a pool of water and so hot, I could explode. Out came the gatorade and tranquiliazers. If I ever get through this I’m going to see Dr. Drew’s rehab. He has a center in Pasadena for non-celebs. I’m going there if I can afford it, which I doubt.
I know I have an addiction to benzos but what can I do? It’s either that or I just can’t cope.
More frequent bowel movements, I haven’t lost that completely but it’s annoying to have cramping all the time like you have to go to the bathroom and then nothing much happens. So annoying.
I do believe God has blessed us with this disease indirectly. I think we are special people who have gone through and are going through a test to see how strong we are. Hopefully we will be rewarded in heaven for this. I pray so!
