@daisybell-that is so nice. Thank you. Everyday is a struggle. I go back and forth with energy levels, mood and exhaustion. Yesterday I was in bed, took a shower and that's it. I cried all day. I do not feel stable. Saturday was better, today was a little better but I always have this anxiety.
I went up on the Nature Throid because my dose is still quite low. I saw my rheumatologist today and that was a good appointment. It was sunny today and lifted my mood. I told him about the thyroid and he said it will take awhile to get grounded. Between how the surgery affected the adrenals, how not having a thyroid affects the adrenals, and the hormonal shifts due to lack of thyroid and perimenopause, he is going to try and get me into an endocrinologist that he loves. I may have to wait several months, but he doesn't want me to see anyone else.
He also diagnosed me with Serositis. I keep having like muscle spasms in the heart area. So, Sjogrens causes this. IT's called, Serositis, which is inflammation of the lining of the heart and abdomen. I have to go up on the Plaquenil.
I am hanging in. Always fearful. It's anxiety that I can't really control over....nothing. Just a feeling of anxiety. I have been taking ativan to combat it and drinking chamomile.
I am tired. Hanging in though and hoping I will have some sales because that's worrying me also. I am not working. Can't get out and do events.
Anyway, thank you so much for asking. I really appreciate it.
Yesterday, I was just so grateful to wash my hair. I washed it Wednesday, but it needed washing again. My energy is low and I can bathe everyday, but my hair is too much to deal with. Too much work! It's funny what you become grateful for...like washing your hair. I am always clean, but I so miss jumping into a shower everyday like it was nothing.
