I'm very sick...

... and have no energy to post.  Please don't forget me.

So far:  Hashimoto's thyroidosis.  Perhaps adrenal fatigue as well.  Most likely Celiac's too.  Complicated by random crashing blood sugar. I'm losing weight fast and falling into depression.

Treatments?  Nothing offered so far.  It's always, "Let's wait until we do some more tests..."  It's SO hard waiting when I feel so bad every day.

I wish real doctors were like TV doctors.  Boy, that's real fantasy, though.  Complete concentration, lots of disciplines working together, bedside manner and attentiveness.  Hard to get that in a 15-minute appointment....

Keep a good thought for me.  Thanks....

  1. So hard to hear that you are so ill.
    I sure hope they can give you some answers.
    Anything.
    Sometimes just KNOWING what it is can help.
    You're in my thoughts. Best of luck to you!

    1. Sue, you don't know how comforting your good wishes are. I guess I should be grateful of all the things they are eliminating (like my pancreas is good.)

  2. Kris, do they talk about hospitalization? I know you have a good clinic like Mayo Clinic but something should get their attention!!!Do you think that would help you?

    1. Being in hospital wouldn't do any good. Right now it's about controlling blood sugar. (Hospital food would probably kill me! LOL) Next week - adrenal test. Week after that - gluten/celiac test. Hardest part is living alone with no one to lean on. And at night, when it's dark. I've turned into such a wimp.

  3. No way I will forget you, sweetie. Was thinking yesterday that I hadn't heard an update from you in a while, so sorry to read that things are not getting better for you.

    Very self-absorbed here :{ This family party is on Sunday, MIL staying on a few days after that . . . and then I get time to myself, to catch up with friends, catch up with me :} Thinking of you. xx

    1. Thanks for looking in. I'm a far cry from the person that started this blog about an overly ambitious sanctuary project. Now my days a small and centered on health and not what I signed up for. Enjoy your holiday weekend with friends and family.

  4. Checked your blog for an update earlier in the week - nada. But, didn't want to bother you - figured you'd post when you could.

    We're with you in those wee dark hours.

    1. Thanks, Tammy. Yes, I try very hard to keep eating every few hours even though my appetite is very low. I appreciate your tips and input - and your prayers.
