Guest guest Posted December 2, 2007 Report Share Posted December 2, 2007 Yes, ER is horrific, and I really believe it was a major contributor to my adrenal problems worsening and the hypoT. Since quitting a couple of years ago, I've realized I never want to do it again. I don't even think I want to be a nurse at all, but if I did, it would be in a clinic, never in a hospital, even though the hospital pay was much better. Some people seem to thrive in a high, constant stress environment like ER, but I have never functioned well in high stress situations, and 11 years of that during the time I went through a divorce, remarriage, having another child (at age 43) was definitely overload. Now I just want a quiet, peaceful life, although I've come to realize that the reclusiveness and anxiety and lack of motivation I've had for the past couple of years is not normal and I want to feel some energy and vitality again. The estrogen seems to be helping immensely. I really feel I've had an E deficiency for many years. > > : > " ...I was > forced to go back to work as an ER nurse for a few years.

Guest guest Posted December 3, 2007 Report Share Posted December 3, 2007 Hey All, I just got in and I'm exhausted, but wanted to share this little tidbit - I got my hair analysis results today - zinc is LOW and copper is NORMAL. As you may recall, I have elevated T3 and T4 and low TSH. Opinions/advice welcome.. Peace, Sunny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
