Guest guest Posted July 14, 2004 Report Share Posted July 14, 2004 Thanks a--humor keeps me ON the pointy side of the grass! Yes, the vitamin E does seem to help, the therapist was pleased with how the incisions are healing and how well I am moving my hand and fingers. I get to start using my " silly putty " today! Got more " good news " yesterday from my pain doc, as he noticed I was shivering and asked a few questions. He asked about my last blood work (which was when I had the surgery) then called my regular doctor, who I had talked to last week and who had refused to see me until mid September when I told him my hair was falling out and I was so cold all the time. Anyway, he had blood drawn and said he thinks I have some thyroid problems, and wants to refer me to an endocrinologist. It's probably a mixed blessing, but I was hoping to have more fun things to do this summer, like play with my new Garden Claw! ah well, guess I can't always get my way! Hope you are enjoying a nice summer, Judi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 19, 2004 Report Share Posted July 19, 2004 Judi, Maybe the Endo will help you and you¹ll even have MORE time for playing with your new garden claw! Besides that, just maybe the endo will have heard of dercums and have some ideas of how to treat it. Yes, I am very much enjoying my summer. It¹s so nice to know that summer will be staying. Usually by the end of July when we were in NJ, we started getting depressed because summer was almost over, yet it had just started. It seemed like we just UN winterized everything and it was time to do it all over again. I hope you don¹t over do it with that garden claw. That thing sounds dangerous LOL! a > Thanks a--humor keeps me ON the pointy side of the grass!
