Re: doc wont up my armour dose-Im venting!

[Guest guest]

If I had two babies to take care of and couldn't hardly stay awake,

I'd fire this doctor and FIND ME ANOTHER ONE!!! Yikes! I've been

so sick for the past three/four years with this stupid disease and

am FINALLY feeling like a human again. I homeschool three children

and it is horrible when you feel like you're knocking on death's

door. I found a good doctor who put me on Armour but it took me

three years. Keep looking, dear! Your babies need YOU!!

Geez, Louise, girls! Like I always say " we ought to start a

club! " . Right, a stinkin' club full of criers. Or...just a club

where we can vent...or maybe a club of " worriers " !...Yeah, that's

it. I'm starting a club of worriers.

I feel for you girls. I KNOW exactly what you're saying. I think

we're going to see the light at the end of the tunnel pretty

soon....and, God knows, I've been in the " tunnel " a long, long time.

I've been depressed lately, too...AND, I know the frustration of

waiting for ignorant doctors to make their move while I sit here

helpless and suffering needlessly. Well, they haven't killed me

yet! Hang in there with me now.

you say that you need to act alive. I can't even do that today. At

least I don't have to worry about the babies.

lately I don't even remember my own name. My brother has commented

on my spelling. I use to type very fast, and very well... obviously

not any more.
