today i was suppose to start my new thryoid medicine. i'm scare to take it. i'm allergic to so many different things. i'm afraid that i'll take it and have to go to the emergency room. the last time i went into shock so quick it was a good thing my son was here cause within 5 minutes i coudlt' talk. i have neighbors close by but it does't matter when you go into that. its scarey.
the doc assures me that i do not have toworry.
i have to take the pills one hour before i eat or 2 hours after. he prefers i take them first thing in the morning.
i was going to take it first thing this morning but got scared. i live alone except for my little animals and i don't want to have anythign happen by myself.
i have got to over come this fear.
argggg
on so tuesday will be the day! 5am i will take my pill! i will have the phone in my hand! finger posied to dial! by wednesday i will be fine with taking them its just the first day i panic.
thank you for being my sounding board
Hi Reenie!

let me tell you i saw alot of of peoploe thre who looked a heck of alot worse in their suitsl including the some who had on two piece bathing suits *****ally had no right to be on display like that but hey they were having fun at the beach so who am i too judge?
as long as they weren' tlooking at me i was happy. so i sat and people watched! it was great.
there was a family in front of me with two little ones o what joy they were having such a great time it really took me many years back when mine were little. i'd love to visit that time even for just an hour.

Hi Reenie,
Its good to see you back posting! You've been gone a long time.
I'm not sure if you had read it but in my posting I've mentioned several times that I've always had hypogloximia in a mild form. So the surgery did not cause this issue. It was already there. So for me a small combination of the laxatives plus the surgery kicked it up into high gear. I can't speak for Nick. Or for anyone else.
what I do do is listen to what everyone has to say think it through then go with what my medical professional advises if it all makes sense to me.
Dr a and his dieticain did not make sense so I kept going until I find the one who does. and who helps me.
While I believe that the doc's are highly educated and know more than any of us will ever know they do not know everything about us as individuals. Thats up to us to make the decisison of what works for each of us. as individuals.
weigh and measure. Not only with food but with postings.
weigh and measure not only with the consequences from the surgery but the consequences without the surgery.
We all know the issues that are there. we all know that we need to question things. something that is normal for someone without the surgery isn't for us. We all know we need to be treated medically in different ways. Your reminders are helpful.
I appreciate your caring. You are a very caring individual. I appreicate your wanting to fix the issues and I appreciate your thought provoking information more and then letting us go to make our discisions ourselves. Becasue ultimately we are the ones who have to be happy with whatever decisions we make.
I'm happy with mine.
Hope all is well with you and your family.
This was a crazy day for me. I was at the chiropractor at 7:30, spent an hour and a half being tortured then drove across town to pick up a friend and drove down to Tucson for her Chemo. There was a wreck on the road that had traffic backed up for hours. I barely screamed into work in time at 6:00 and got off at 10:00. All I ate today was a handful of peanuts and raisins and about an ounce of summer sausage. You know what? I will not have lost an ounce. I have no idea what it will take to lose weight.
My pcp just thinks it's a matter of eating less and moving more. I don't think it's that easy for us or we all would weigh 92 pounds. I want to pinch that man.
I'm with you, Maureen. I think our metabolisms are in the toilet.
Hugs,
Connie
