Not doing well

[Barbara]

Actually I have been wondering where you have been and I am sorry to hear that. Hormone balance is such a sensitive thing- it really can make you feel very much different. Hope all your exams go well and you will be ok again.

[Kirsten]

Thanks! The worst thing about these hormonal problems is that they are so difficult to treat. One thing depends on another; and in my case, everything seems to be out of balance.

Sorry to hear you are not feeling well. We don't really know each other but you are a cat owner/lover so we are automatic friends!

Sending you well wishes from Casey and her 4 cats.

Adjusting thyroid dosage is very tweaky and can be a pain. Just keep after that, and get the other stuff sorted out. I hope you feel better!

[Randi]

Sorry to her you are under the weather, Kirsten. I hope the tests will show what's wrong and you will be get the right dosage of medicine, or better avoid medicine altogether.

Get better! Fister sends headbumpies too.

I'm sorry you are not feeling well. At least you have two adorable kitties to cuddle up with. I hope you are feeling better soon.

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]

The good part is -- all clear, no more for 10 years! Yippee!

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...
