Guest guest Posted June 13, 2006 Report Posted June 13, 2006 : I know I am repeating myself, but I still do not know what to do about my constant state of panic. I tried adding a bit of pred to prepare for my surgery next week but it seemed to make it worse. I took 10 mg HC at 8:00 with 1 grain Armour. At lunch I took 2 mgs pred. I just felt in a panic all day. I contacted my endocrinologist, who cannot practice at the moment. She recommended that I have sumedrol added to my IV for the surgery next week. My surgeon said they do that all of the time and it would be no problem. Any input?? At 8:00 pm I am still feeling adrenalized. Thanks, | -- Re: MY BIRTHDAY WISH... HER NAME IS DR.

Guest guest Posted June 13, 2006 Report Posted June 13, 2006 Wow Pam, Well I wish you will stay in bed until you can get up out of it under your own power. Sometimes fighting it can just make it worse so I wish you rest, and healing, and a doctor who knows what to test and what to do with the results when she sees them. Don't stress about what you're missing, just focus on getting yourself better -- the world and all its problems will still be there when you're ready for it. I wish you a big birthday bash with all the trimmings -- next year. Blessings, Jen > > I won't be blowing out any candles today... but I do have a wish... > Quote

Guest guest Posted June 15, 2006 Report Posted June 15, 2006 Pamela - wow ((((((((((((((hugs))))))))))))))) I remember thinking how greatful I was I didn't have children to take care of while I was so sick. I can't even imagine ... I was sick with Hashi's for 10 years or so. I finally got my diagnosis 3 years ago and am only now getting to the point where I don't feel like a " sick person " anymore. It's so strange not to look around at the healthy, energetic people around me and not just turn green with jealousy wishing I had their health and wondering how they can just take it for granted? Healing can take a very long time, but it will happen now that you know where to start looking for the answers. If you don't mind me asking, what kind of immune disease does your son have? I've just started working in am immunology lab and am hoping to start working towards a PhD soon. And if you think endocrinology is complicated . . . . pick up an immunology book sometime. sheesh. Jen > > P, > > Thank you for my birthday wish!!! > > With my Hashimoto's, a car accident, permanent back and neck damage (all right after giving birth to my son), Completely supressed immune system, FM, CFS, I could go on, but won't...
