OK, this seems to be a really bad year in a lot of respects. I hear so much about people getting sick, people loosing loved ones, people loosing jobs, breaking up ... don't know what it is, must be the infamous leap year.
Anyway, I've had some serious health issues for the last couple of weeks that struck me pretty hard, mostly because I have been mostly well for such a long time.
I may need some of your positive vibes, I know you guys are good at that.
Two weeks ago I had a total breakdown with very high blood pressure and I had problems to breathe. First we thought it was because of allergies - I really have them and they are getting bad right now, though I take my medication. I had some tests done and the doctors discovered I had a thyroid problem, which possibly means that I have to have a surgery. My mom and a lot of women I know have or had that as well, but they were all so much older than me! I had ultrasound done last week and the picture looks quite bad, also my blood results aren't good.
Next week I'll have a screening where they decide what to do.
I'm mostly at home now because it's hard for me to concentrate on my work and I get dizzy a lot. Being alone makes me feel uncomfortable, though I must say I can at least sleep a little better now. Sometimes I wake up with my heart racing. When I'm with other people it's getting better and I hardly think about it.
Thing is that I always feel I have something sticking in my throat and this makes me kind of
I'm rather depressed about all of this and I've also had quite negative experiences with doctors who never have time to tell you the details and so on.
The good thing is I've told some people about it and I'm already getting lots of advise and so on, so I don't feel so alone. I just hope I can have the rest of the tests done as soon as possible, because I want to know quickly if I have to have surgery or not.
So please keep your fingers crossed for me and send some positive thoughts. Thanks.
