Guest guest Posted November 18, 2002 Report Share Posted November 18, 2002 Hi A TSH of 46 no wonder you aren't feeling better yet! the only discouraging part.. is it will be a little longer before you do.. it takes up to 6 weeks for the synthroid to totally kick in and get you to whatever level it will get you to... but the encouraging part is that soon you will be starting to feel somewhat better as your new higher dose kicks in. barb > Greetings Everyone! > > It has been a while so I thought I would update everyone.

Guest guest Posted April 12, 2004 Report Share Posted April 12, 2004 Hi dear , You know, I don't want to minimize the stress of being let go, but in this case with your boss, I think it is a blessing in disguise. With your faith and your positive attitude and focusing on the things you have to be grateful for, everything will work out just fine. There is a verse I love in the Bible that says in 29:11, " For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord. Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. " So, if you are a woman of faith, you can look at it as nothing can come into your life that does not pass through God's hands first. He is our provider. I will join you in prayer that you will find a healthier work environment. That alone can help your kidneys stay stable longer since it is well known that high blood pressure just by itself even without IgAN is a risk factor for renal failure. Please keep us posted on how the job hunt is going.

Guest guest Posted April 13, 2004 Report Share Posted April 13, 2004 On my wife 's job hunting and such.. Although is not going to pursue it, the local Dialysis Center, which is run by her Nephrologist, is looking for a Nurse. They have great benefits, good hours and pretty decent pay. They even include training for all the differnt aspects of dialysis for their nurses. On the up-side, she'd get to keep her current doctor, she understands renal failure from the patient's perspective, possible employee discounts! However, it might be weird to work with your Neph everyday and " be at work " even when you are dialyizing! - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 13, 2004 Report Share Posted April 13, 2004 Hi , I believe you when you say that you're fine. I'm sure that many here can identify with your situation. I give you credit for hanging in there (and letting the cards fall, because of unemployment) and not just throwing up your hands and quitting your job which happens to many people. They can't take the pressure of holding out. Then if it takes longer to find a job than they expected, they don't have the unemployment to rely on. I feel confident that things will get settled down for you with the work situation. Hang in there, remember that there will be a better opportunity out there for you, just have patience. Connie PS Let us know how the labs come out at the end of the month! update Hi guys and girls,here I am again talking about not necessarily kidney-related stuff. I told you all how I was not real happy with my job. Well, I had the best week off last week, enjoyed and cherished every minute of it. When I walked in this morning, before I could even sit down, the boss " let me go " . Honestly, the feeling was mutual. I felt like we'd been in a battle over who would go first, would I quit or would they fire me. I didn't want to quit, just in case I needed unemployment. I imagine I'm probably giving you all too much information. I'm starting job hunting tomorrow, and I don't think I'll have too much trouble. I prayed yesterday that God would work everything out and that we would both have the faith to trust Him to take care of us. i'm fine, I only worry about my husband, he always gets so upset about finances. But I've assured him I'll be job-hunting tomorrow,so he has nothing to worry about. My husband, , last week said " Man, you've been in a good mood all week. " I said " yes, cause I haven't been to work. So you can SEE what a difference it has made in my demeanor. " I think that's one reason he's not too upset, plus, he knew it was coming. My blood pressure had been high the last couple of weeks, and I had lost 5 lbs. without really trying. I think it was work stress. I totally expect it to be better now. I think I'm gonna try COBRA to keep my insurance, just until I get the next job. My next neph appt is at the end of the month and I'm anxious to see how things have progressed, or hopefully NOT progressed. To Rita, when you talked about enjoying grilling salmon with your husband, I agree. It's the simple things that bring you happiness, and there are much bigger priorities than dwelling on things that make you unhappy. I was sad yesterday, when I saw someone who's now pregnant for the SECOND time in a year, when we've been trying for 2+ and now the neph says we can't. But, I prayed about it and there are SO many more things for me to be thankful for, so I need to dwell on them. To Sharon, I welcome you and I want to ask you where you're from.

Guest guest Posted April 13, 2004 Report Share Posted April 13, 2004 Dear , I want to let you, and anyone else who cares, that I am thrilled!!!!!! I woke up this morning confident, happy and excited. I went to apply at another home health agency for the same position as I had at the other place and I have an interview tomorrow. Judging by how the lady spoke to me, it's basically a formality and then I'll get started right away. Just the receptionist and another nurse I spoke to up there seemed very pleasant. A funny story: the receptionist said " Oh, you worked at such and such place for this brother. Oh, what's his name? " I told her the bosses name and she said, yeah. I asked her if she knew him and she said no, but she'd heard about him from some of the nurses. I asked if it was good or bad, and she said what she had heard was that he was a jerk. I told her that was good, cause then I'd have a way to explain why I no longer worked there. And she said yes, she was sure would understand. The point of that story is that his reputation precedes him and NOT in a good way. So, I don't think anyone is gonna hold it against me that I was let go. , I've been reading some Bible verses lately and I plan to do even more because they are so encouraging. Beth says its good to pray God's word back to Him, that He loves it. I believe He does, because He has joy when we show that we BELIEVE them. _____ From: W4JC@...

With your faith and your positive attitude and focusing on the things you have to be grateful for, everything will work out just fine. There is a verse I love in the Bible that says in 29:11, " For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord. Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. " So, if you are a woman of faith, you can look at it as nothing can come into your life that does not pass through God's hands first. He is our provider. I will join you in prayer that you will find a healthier work environment. That alone can help your kidneys stay stable longer since it is well known that high blood pressure just by itself even without IgAN is a risk factor for renal failure. Please keep us posted on how the job hunt is going.

Guest guest Posted April 13, 2004 Report Share Posted April 13, 2004 While I can see enormous benefits to taking the position, I just gotta agree with on this one. That might easily be way too much kidney consciousness! sounds wise that she is not pursueing this too closely Speaking entirely for myself, I'd burn out in two weeks.

Guest guest Posted April 13, 2004 Report Share Posted April 13, 2004 forgot to mention that the hours really aren't so good. I don't know if those of you on dialysis realize this, but those nurses work 4 A.M. to 8 P.M. shifts. Only 2 or 3 days a week, but on those days, they kill themselves. Maybe not all dialysis centers work on those schedules, but they do here. 16 hrs. shifts. No way, !! _____ From: Cy Webb Sent: Tuesday, April 13, 2004 4:30 PM To: iga-nephropathy Subject: Re: update While I can see enormous benefits to taking the position, I just gotta agree with on this one.
