Not doing well

[phesina]

Oh, Kirsten, I'm so sorry you are having all these health problems.

Lots of prayers and good wishes are being sent that the medical people will figure out what is going on and you get the right treatment so that you feel much better and stay that way.

Love, hugs, purrs,
Pat and cats

Thank you everyone, your support means a lot to me!

You're right, having Luna and Lily around is such a huge comfort, and they always show me that there is something worth fighting for.

It's so frustrating with these thyroid meds! I'm trying since 2002 to adjust them, but it seems too many things in my system are messed up! I will keep you updated on the test results. But - as I have to admit - I really fear the coloscopy!

I often wish we - human beings - were a little more like computers. A real-life "reset" switch would be handy. And I have often thought "undo" would be quite handy!

So true!!! I often wish that, too!! Would love to re-boot my system on many days!

The prep is the worst part about it. You'll be in la-la land for the actual procedure!

I know... It's the prep I fear most! I feel bad when I cannot eat, and as an emetophob, I fear the possible vomiting, and the diarrhea as well.

I'm so sorry you're not feeling well, Kirsten. I do hope you find some relief very soon It's a good thing you've got those gorgeous kitties to help you through this. Animals are a blessing, especially during our times of need.

Kirsten, I'm sorry to hear that you're not feeling well. I hope that your meds can be adjusted properly so that they'll start helping you again. I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers. Please take care. (((HUGS)))

Aww dearest Kirsten i am so sorry you are feeling so bad, and going through all of this, yes thyroids are devils of things to get right, my mother has had both the underactive and overactive,she feels the cold terribly, and she knows her meds are not right, but the tests always say it is fine, even on a nice warm day when everyone else is fine, she is cold.

I hope you can get it sorted so you start to feel better and your tests go well, and they can get to the bottom of your problems, we are thinking of you here down under and hoping you start to improve and feel well again soon, take care and heaps of hugs and love.

[Kirsten]

Thank you everyone for your kinds words!

Carole, I'm sorry to hear your mother is having these problems, I can absolutely relate to that!

At least my blood test results (liver, pancreas, potassium) came back fine, but of course I still have to do the endoscopies.

hi Kirsten, sorry your going thru all these ups and downs. Its miserable when you just cant seem to get on top of a health issue. Hope they get things sorted out for yu soo.

As for the colonoscopy, being "of a certain age", I've had a couple - and yup, the prep is the worst. But I never threw up from the prep, if that's any comfort. The other end issues are kind of inevitable, as the whole point is to clean you out, but it wasn't all that bad. The good part is -- all clear, no more for 10 years! Yippee!
I hope you get good news too. Sending you prayers,

[Kirsten]

That's good news! And it's a huge relief! Hope my result will be the same.
First comes the gastroscopy btw. It's on Friday... Haven't scheduled an appointment for the coloscopy yet, but will ask for it on Friday...
