I so get you. I suffered for years, not with thyroid, but the hormone thing. Finally found a doctor who would listen to me. But, I felt crazy for awhile, and even now, I do suffer some. Just not as much.~~Dee

Oh, Wyrdd, isn’t it the WORST? I think I’ve had hormonal imbalance my entire adult life, but I couldn’t find anybody who wanted to dig a little deeper. Call me, we’ll rag on our old doctors. (get it, rag?) lol

You are describing me for TWENTY FREAKING YEARS! I kept insisting something was wrong with me and was pretty sure from teh symptoms it was thyroid problems, but until a year and a half ago, I wasn’t diagnosed with the sleep apnea that was making me progressively sicker and sicker. It is a relief to have something like that solved!

As far as PMS goes, it made my 20s and 30s hellish. Thank god for early menopause, because like you I suffered massive symptoms. Depression, mood swings, etc. All extreme. And then came menopause, which brought hormonal migraines! But I take 3 pills for those and all is good now.

Oh man. I understand your joy. I have dealt with some serious PMS in my life. Fortunately, ever since I had a baby, it’s been a better. I hope it stays that way!!

We have a new, young doctor that is our pediatrician plus an adult doctor. I haven’t approached him with this problem, but I think (hope) he’d be a good doctor. I do like him so much.

And I have to say that I’m glad I’m not the only one adopting language from Battlestar Gallactica. One of my favorite shows.

It is infuriating! Here’s how traumatized I was by my old doc: I’ve visited my new doc 3 times now (including today) and his kindness has brought tears to my eyes every time. I just can’t believe he believes me!

And guys, about those fart jokes, I have a confession to make. The “joke” is really just me laughing hysterically at every –um– incident. And that’s where I’ll leave it.

Sherri,

I’m so glad you found a decent doctor! I like the doc that did my knee surgery, but the PA’s that I see more often don’t listen worth a crap. I’m still having a lot of pain and they act like I’m doing something wrong! It infuriates me! You must feel like you have a new lease on life. Good.

I can only speak for myself when I say I was looking for the fart joke. I’m out of material for my own blog.

I must say, I’m rather shocked that four people actually read all the way to the end of this one. :)

A listening doctor? GASP! No WAY! I didn’t even know you could use those words in conjunction with one another.

Seriously though, I am so glad you’re feeling better and that your meds are working for you now instead of against you. Woo for feeling normal!
