Guest guest Posted July 30, 2004 Report Share Posted July 30, 2004 Thyroid disease steals from us.It stole my self-esteem, my health,myself.I still battle the self doubts.What if "They" are right,... maybe I am the lazy, hysterical,fat,stupid,asexual person "they" say I am.That my "attitude" is the problem or I am too much a sinner.... And then......... lo and behold, "They" are not right. I have a thyroid disease called Hashimoto's.I have symptoms from this disease....I have taken responsibility--- I am researching, I am consulting with the experts(those who suffer from thyroid disease). I am fine-tuning my plan of restoration with hormones, supplements, ways of eating,.......This plan is unique as I am. I will rise as the phoenix does! I am ThyroFeisty!Hear me Roar!

Guest guest Posted July 31, 2004 Report Share Posted July 31, 2004 I know what you're talking about. I battle the doubts daily, and mostly they take seed from the advice well-meaning people give me, or questions they'll ask. I am going to stop telling anyone there's anything wrong with me because, unless they've experienced anything like it, they just don't know. How can you explain to someone else that, even though you look normal and act normal - walking and talking, you're actually a very determined zombie? They don't get it, and say well meaning questions like, " When was the last time you did anything for yourself? " or " Maybe Wellbutrin would help " or " Why don't you just find another doctor? " or " Maybe you should see a shrink " and the list is endless. So I'm just so happy about this group and having all of you to relate to. This has taught me a big lesson. From now on, if anyone shares a dissappointment with me I am only going to say, " I am so sorry you had to go through that. It must have really been a real letdown for you. Is there anything I can do to help? " and just leave it at that. Because I want to treat other people the way I would like to be treated. Stay strong. darringirl > Thyroid disease steals from us.It stole my self-esteem, my health,myself.I still battle the self doubts.What if " They " are right,... maybe I am the lazy, hysterical,fat,stupid,asexual person " they " say I am.That my " attitude " is the problem or I am too much a sinner.... > And then......... > lo and behold, " They " are not right.
