Oh , you have my heart felt sympathies here! I come from a family of

NURSES and I hear it all the time how I am going to kill myself self-medicating.

Don't you know those doctors know SO much more than I could possibly know? And

not feeling like I have any worthwhile contributions to make to anything.. I am

QUEEN of that in my family. Which is why I talk to none of them except my

Grandmother in the nursing home. To Hell with the rest of them. I know I know

what I am doing, I really don;t care if they like it or not and I no longer wish

to hear it. Yes it takes a thick hide to get where I am but I have grown one

from the callous ways they have treat ed me, so I really understand what you are

saying.

i recently knew i could not make the 4 hr. trip to my cousin's memorial

service (and they're gonna have another graveside service near me anyway)...and

I

sure did get some comments from some family members.

Heck, i get tired after an hours drive and a short shopping trip in the mall.

when i get back home after something like that, I totally crash.

driving 4 hours, sitting thru a memorial service, eating lunch, and then

immediately driving back 4 hours. - well it's no telling what that might have

done.

and yet they may me feel very guilty. and i'm SO tired of feeling guilty for

not doing things I don't feel i can do. funny - all those years when i was

pushing myself and doing stuff, no one commented how well i was doing. it's

just when you don't do what they think you oughta do.

poo on them.

but i'm dang tired of folks not understanding when i say I can't do

something. i'm thinking that maybe i should just tell them i have some kind of

cancer

- and then maybe they'd be more caring.

Do any of these sound familiar?

a. There is nothing really wrong with you.

b. It is all in your head.

c. You just need to get more exercise.

d. Maybe you need an anti-depressant.

e. You're going to kill yourself buying that stuff from

Mexico/Thailand/etc.

f. What makes you think you know more than the doctor?

Getting these from your spouse, friends, family, and those who should

know you better is such a common experience here, it should be a merit

badge in the Thyro Scouts. It's an odd, alice-in-wonderland kind of

experience, being horribly sick, telling people you're not right, and

having nobody believe you. I kept thinking one day they'd find me dead,

and they'd all shrug their shoulders and say, Huh, that's odd, there was

nothing wrong with him.

Of course, NOW, my wife has come back and told me how wrong she was, and

how she should have listened to me, and how she'll never doubt me again.

Perhaps you have detected a certain note of sarcasm in the previous

sentence. The best I get is, on my foggy days, she'll ask me if it's

time to increase my medicine. I guess that's sort of an admission that

it's working. Just like somebody said all along...

If this is happening to you, you're in the right place. Just sew this

badge onto your shirt.

Once you master all of those, you move up to a Webehypo scout. :-)

Thanks for the tip, BTW. We were moving computers at work today, and

(as usual) I overdid it, and now I've got the shakies again. See how

a fun day. I love getting stuff done. I bet most people here do. News

Gettin ready to go to G'ma's for a couple of days but I fell out ROTFLMBO on

this one. Trust me. I tried this one for real!!! I have throat cancer (since '98

that I know of) that I treat without " curative " surgery, no radiation, and no

chemo....

Nobody is any kinder or any more understanding. At best they just wrote me

off...

I'll try to read from the list interface until I get back! I Love you all!!!

of cancer

- and then maybe they'd be more caring.
