Thanks everyone.

Been struggling lately with anxiety about upcoming blood tests. I do have hypothyroidism due to necessity to remove thyroid when dx with grave's disease

I am just sick of feeling sick, tired and in pain. Sometimes hard to figure out if I feel poorly because of depression, or depressed because of sucky health. Imagine there is a crossover there somewhere.

I know that lupus treatment has come a long way, but I also have two friends with it, and have suffered many complications including death for one friend. Scares me a bit. But trying not to get the cart before the horse. Going in for the testing is going to be really hard. I hope that I can make myself do it.
