Well I'm still in one piece
After crying for 3 days straight last week......since resuming the pill I have settled down, emotionally at least
Basically my estrogen level has plummeted in the last 5 years from over 1100 down to 190 - and my fsh has doubled - and my cholesterol has increased for no reason.
So while I did still have estrogen at the time of the test I had only stopped taking the pill 3 weeks earlier, if I left it another few weeks it most likely would have been much lower
I had no intention of having any more children, but when that decision is made for you it's a whole different story
I wouldn't let Big A even think about a vasectomy until we were both over 35, and by then my hormones were playing up already (I think this has been going on for about 2 years)
Ah well he won't need one now
Physically I am still drained and sleeping a lot/puffy eyes/pale/gravelly voiced and had gained 5kg when I weighed myself Sunday
I have dropped 2kg already
My weight doesn't alter EVER these days, aside from increasing
Hopefully now I can get some strength back and possibly feel some of the benefits of giving up smoking
My house is showing definite signs of neglect and inability to give a rats arse recently.....make that the last 6 weeks.....
I have re-arranged the work stuff, it's going to much better this way
In the last 3 days I have organised a new care plan for Small Man, organised appointments with a new exercise physiologist who will actually do stuff with him at the appointment rather than sit there and dribble shit for half an hour.
Booked further appointments with his occupational therapist lady (for eating disorder) who does counselling/psychology also - and spent 45 minutes on the phone to me Saturday when I was falling apart
BOOKED TO GO TO MELBOURNE - just the appointment with the chronic fatigue specialist, not the flights yet.
We will also see Matt and hopefully one of the surgeons if he can organise it
Sent a referral for myself to see a new doctor in Burnie for ADD, if he is ok I will take Possum as well - just need to ring and make an appointment tomorrow
So we might get somewhere hey.....

I wish, I wish, I wish. There are some people who make the physical separation we must all endure harder to bear. I wish I could give you a HUG. A real HUG. A 'put your hand on my heart and feel ME' HUG.
I'd even be happy to sit next to you over tea and commiserate.
But you are half a world away, physically. But you've taken up permanent residence in my heart. I wish I could help more than offer moral support. I do.
Lou ~ I'd be more than happy to sit next to you over tea too.
I know, the distance is a pain isn't it.
Maybe it was just meant to be that way?
What a wonderful friend you are.
I am so lucky to have found you here.
Maybe we can chat on skype some time, that'd be fun :)

So is that it then? Is that the answer? No more wondering what's wrong and why you're so sick? I hope so cause u deserve a break and some answers. Take care and be well. Big hug. I hope all goes back to normal for u. Warriorwoman.
Warriorwoman ~ I think so....I'm not sure what to expect now. I have to go back in 3 weeks and see what he wants to do then. Thank you :)

I think I'm going through it, too, the hot flushes are a riot especially in Summer.
I'm certain that's what's causing global warming ;)
Ro ~ It's all so much fun eh....

And you wonder why you're tired, G. Even with everything that's been going on with your health, you still get things done. And yet you worry because your "house is showing definite signs of neglect"... who cares? You're not the only one living in it, and you take on so much of everyone elses' stuff, without ever considering that they can help you out in return. You have 2 other adults in your home these days, and a teenager that is quite capapble of doing some housework. This isn't a judgement on you at all, G. Boys (ahem, young adults) need these skills so that they are able to use them later on in life, and hopefully, will be considerate and sharing of jobs with future housemates. As mums, we still have a tendency to underestimate the domestic abilities of the males in our lives.....
Good luck with the "marvelon": hopefully, you won't have to resort to the "miraculous"..lol
xoxoxox
Cyndy ~ Yeah I do get where you are coming from.
Possum does help me out in more practical ways running errands, taking his brother to friends house etc etc, last weekend he went to the supermarket/bakery/chemist and then to get tea.
SM helps by preparing his own meals most of the time as he is usually eating something different and cleans up after himself in the kitchen.
There is (physically) no way he could vacum or anything like that though.
Yes I am hoping the marvelon works too, the miraculous may not be pbs eh! ha ha!
Thanks Cyndy :)
