Guest guest Posted August 22, 2003 Report Share Posted August 22, 2003 Hey dimonds it is good to see your still gettting well. I appreciate hearing from you and knowing that things are still improving for you. You have been through so much and your right. Sometimes you have to go by how you feel more than a blood test anyway! That is the bottom line. hugs In , " dimonds68 " <XENA6881@a...> wrote: > Hello patty,i have read some of your posts. sorry you are feeling so > crummy lately.

Guest guest Posted August 22, 2003 Report Share Posted August 22, 2003 Hi dimonds, I appreciate your letter so much, hey, it is good to hear from you! You're one of our quiet ones. I did let my blood work get me down for a bit, but I do feel better today and am still very thankful for how far I have come. I spent the day Wednesday on the Colorado River with friends boating, so it was nice to get away, have fun, and forget all the other crap going on. I got my lab results in the mail today, so I've looked them over a little more carefully. I guess I will have to do some more of my own research about it, as he really didn't tell me how to deal with the lowered C3 complement. He also wants to change my thyroid meds, and I am not so sure I like what he is recommending. Basically, while my T4 is low and my T3 is high normal, he wants me to add T3 to my thyroid meds. It seems to me I should be adding T4, since that one is low, and that is the one that converts to T3. Maybe it is time for a third opinion! Thanks again for writing Dimonds, it is good to know you are still hanging in there, and I am thrilled over your improvements! I know you will continue to heal, just as I am. I am not going to give up, and from the looks of things heating up at the FDA over silicone gel, it seems we have alot more fighting to do to be heard.

Hello patty,i have read some of your posts. sorry you are feeling so crummy lately. PLEASE do not let yourself get discouraged about your blood work. You have come such a LONG LONG way healthwise, and have not officially been diaganosed with LUPUS( iknow you are worried about that). I think with all the hard work you have done, you should be proud of yourself that you came all this way. Maybe you are just going into a flare, and it will go soon ! Maybe your bloodwork being off is just part of this implant stuff, and just go by the 'way you feel', and relish in all your accomplishments. I think you told me a few months ago, you climbed a mountain !! WOW that is great...so you have done this and WILL do it again. I have flare ups too, and how soon I forget about all my 'good, happy days'....but they adventually come back.!!!!! It is just the anxiety of...well I hope it is not forever, and then it is NOT!!! Anyway I hope this makes you feel better, because I just know you will climb your mountain, and canoe and do all those fun things again. This is just a set back !!!! Hang in there girl.........xooxoxo dimonds68 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
