Boring update

Ok boring update - today I saw the endocrinologist and found that do in fact have Hashimoto's Disease but that managing it with a thyroid hormone supplement will not be the magic bullet that will solve all my other problems.  It might help a bit with fatigue and perhaps weight loss, cholesterol etc but it won't alleviate the primary problems caused by the fibro ( duh that would be pain)...

She will have the report ready in time for me to see the immunologist on Monday which is good!

I also registered with the pain clinic (filled in their form which was like a "fill in the blanks" version of War and Peace).  I hope they will see me quickly because the government is interested in their opinion of me... (of course their opinion will be that I am, "bright, vivacious, charming, intelligent and great company" just like my personals advert says I am!).

Too many ologists...

Oh well too tired to be interesting ... until the morrow!

  4. yes, too many 'ologists' - I am glad they will suppliment you, as improvement may not be magic bullet (which lately has just sounded like a vibrator to me) but will still hopefully be a move toward a Life of Quality.
