Hi everyone,

I am sorry if I am off the charts a bit........I am battling some new warriors at the moment.

For those of you that know me, I have been chronically physically ill for a long time. I have a good team of drs to help me but seeing as we are dealing with the endocrine system, it is a complicated, drawn out process. I have been in pain for the last few weeks and not very able to manage it. Things have been up and down, and I am spent, physically and mentally.

I know that with all things, they are in flux and this will ultimately be solved.......in the meantime I may go back to my cave intermittently to "lick my wounds".

I don't believe I have ever suffered like this in my life(apart from the embryonic stages of borderline!!). I am asking that you all keep fighting the good fight and can you please fight a good fight for me? I need all the help I can get.......

Thank you my friends.......I will check in and let you know how I am going......I will be checking my pms regularly. It is time to pour all my spirit into getting well.

You all take really good care, my sweets.......and I will check in soon......

***Big tears of joy and comfort from my friends****

Thank you all so much......brings me much strength.....off to the consultant today whom I have a good relationship with to try and sort this mess out. To explain, there are two parts to the endocrine system that are at war with each other, but are very sneaky.......like trying to catch ferrets......hormones are notoriuosly ambiguous and covert, especially in someone as young as me(I am 35). So my thyroid which is supposed to be okay despite my goiter, which is tender and bigger than normal, and my other hormones are running around like chickens with their heads cut off. This has been going on for 4 years, with surgeons and gyneacologists and endocrinologists and my trusty therapists to support me.

So not life threatening, although I have a had a stint in hospital recently due to sinus tachycardia(that was a little scary, thought I was going to have a heart attack!). The thyroid can effect the heart as well as other hormones. I am more concerned that the primary issues will create secondary issues which can be very unpleasant, so it needs to be sorted.......

I shall keep you updated.......the reason I have been in more pain than normal is the meds I was on for my hormones where making things worse(like arthritis and body pain), however there are alternatives that we shall discuss today, I hope!! My partner and I are very nervous, just because there is so much to consider. A thought for him and my son would be lovely They get very worried.

So onward and upward my good friends.......I shall prevail....

Much love to all of you........and take real good care

Just a quick update my lovelies.......

Consultant gyneacologist and I had good chats yesterday........New HRT(Hormone replacement therapy) for hormones and ultrasound(sonogram, I think for our American and Canadian friends!) for abdomen as there was cystic activity in last ultrasound. Check also adenomyosis and endometriosis.

Thyroid acting strangely, he said......"I do not belive in coincidences......if more than one thing is happening at one time, there is more going on. (A careful note) Severe, chronic psychiatric illness can cause inflammation of the blood vessels around the brain which can trigger all sorts of physiological responses(knew I didn't come out of that scott free!). I am concerned that there is so much pain in hands and body".

Being tested for Lupus and Rheumatoid arthritis and other auto-immune diseases as well as thyroid blood panel. Phew, bit nevous. These auto-immune can be very nasty. But he said that if we get to it sooner rather than later, I have a better chance of getting the right treatment. So, bit scared but glad we have a plan. Amazing what you can live with if you have a plan......so keeping my poor borderline schema friends under wraps.......it is usually at these times of fear that they want to run amok.

Seeing my psychologist today.......poor thing, she is going to be inundated with all this medical speak.

Thank you all so much for all your warmth and strength, takes the pain away!!My hot water bottle has been getting a work out! You guys take real good care of yourselves and each other and I will see you all soon.......new and improved!!

Much love to all of you.........
