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!

ReplyDeleteYou made me laugh, no small matter in my mood.
I'm very glad Andrew! We aim to please :)
ReplyDeleteYou generated a smile here, also. Thanks! I really needed that after the crappy week I've been having.
ReplyDeleteyes, 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.

Mildred I am glad I could raise a smile - you have certainly returned the favour!
ReplyDeleteElizabeth - hmmm a vibrator... now there's an idea! Thanks for your good wishes - mine are with you in your bloody unfair battle!
