WELL

I had my appointment with the endocrinologist this morning & had my swallowing & everything checked out - he says that we've "caught" the Hashimoto's relatively early & therefore no surgery will be needed (thank goodness!). He's started me on hormone treatment & hopefully my energy levels will improve & the aches will go away. Isn't it strange, I'm a nurse & I didn't even notice that I had the classic symptoms of Thyroid disease - the weight fluctuations, temperature disregulation, the increased brittleness of my hair & nails, the pins & needles and the list really does go on......I always thought it was all in my head & blamed the depression. The specialist said I should see an improvement within a week - how wonderful! He also hinted, in a polite manner, to get off my arse and get back to work. He's right, I've put in one application but as soon as my niece has left I will definitely be on the hunt for work. My biggest fear is that no one will employ me due to my track record over the last 18 months - I've only worked 9 of them & when I did work I was getting sick all the blasted time, I hope someone gives me a chance - I really am a good nurse, when I'm well. And I am well......I'm WELL!
