Re: Having a hard time...

Hi, Tigger,

Well, you've certainly been through alot! Looks like you're bound to have

tired adrenals! So sorry for what you've been through.

in Va.

I guess all I can say is.... " ditto. "

This is an amazing group of people. I, too, have wondered when the stress

would let up.

I went from losing my Father then my Mother 18 months later, leaving my home

in New Hampshire and moving in with my brother and his wife for 3 years. Finally

buying my own home and working my butt off to keep it. Two very abusive jobs to

finding a job that I love but is very stressful. Then in 2002 I had gastric

by-pass surgery -- which I now regret because it has made me sicker, I filed for

bankruptcy, left my job to work for a " friend " but he didn't have the money to

pay me, went to work for his sister making $150 a week less (net) than I was at

my old job, then early last year went back to my old job (thank goodness,

medical coverage and more money), and then finding out last year that I have

fibro and chronic fatigue.

Now my question is this.... is it just fibro and chronic fatigue, or is the

thyroid raising havoc and the adrenals? From reading here, I tend to think the

thyroid and adrenals are not helping matters. I can't get a doc to work with me

with this because my labs come back " borderline " . At least that's what they tell

me. My TSH was 3.3 and I can't remember what the others were. I do know that I

had a lot of inflammation at the time because my SED rate was quite high.

Anyway, honey, we can relate, commiserate, have empathy and wish you all the

best, but no one can walk in your exact shoes. I wish we could to lighten your

load.

That's one of the reasons I come here. People who really do understand.

Great big hugs,

Tigger

I'm o.k. The kid is still in jail, but I hope he doesn't get released soon. I

am afraid of retaliation because he's just plain nuts as far as I'm concerned.

I start my vaction on 8/14 and I'll be glad to get away for a few days. Going to

visit some old friends who take very good care of me.

Hugs,

Tigger
