One thing I have learned from this is not to be led by fear. I think I was overwhelmed with my symptoms and looking for all the wrong things. I wish I had more patiently and open-mindedly read about my symptoms and put them together in a more sensible fashion. I might have made better guesses. :) Teresa, I'm sorry about what you've been through. It is so frustrating to know you aren't yourself physically or mentally or both and not be able to do much about it. I hope you get your dosage just right. Valerie, I know! :) Thomas talked to your husband later. I knew you were there and tried to catch your eye a couple of times, but you were doing like you were supposed to and paying attention. :) I figured I'd talk to you later and then you'd moved. I'm sorry you've had some health struggles. It's no fun. I wish you wellness. Hugs and friendship to you too. Lynn Kelly, thank you! :) I hope you get answers about what’s troubling you.

I sat beside your husband at Shelby...I did not realize it until after you gave your testimony! :) Then we had to move so that my son could sit with us and I only seen you from a distance after that. Wish we could have chatted! I know some of the frustration you speak of here...about health. I have been in and out of hospital much over the past year or two. Was given a possible diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis....but it is just a long waiting game with that. So I just hope for the best everyday...and try to look at the bright side of things. I know what you mean about the internet too...such a great vast place of information, but it you read too much it becomes troubling. Wishing you happy days ahead. I truly have enjoyed your blog. You take such lovely pictures. Hugs and friendship, Valerie Brock Dear Lynn,

I had a partial thyroidectomy last year due to a possible cancerous nodule. Turned out not to be cancerous, which I'm certainly grateful for, but I've not been the same since the surgery and that's frustrating to me ~ I'm always tired and just a general feeling of "out of sorts". I'm currently on 75mcg of levothyroxine (taking the generic to save some $), but I still "don't feel right" The dr. has changed the dosages several times, but I've noticed nothing significant. Thanks for sharing your experience. Teresa Lynn,

(big smile) 2 -- because the doctors kept telling me I was fine. :) Love you. Diane, thank you so much. I'm feeling better and better every day. Susan, I think of you so often, especially with this lovely tapestry pillow I have now in my living room. ;) It's like you're here with me, only we don't have any teachers around to get in trouble with. :) I think of you and what you've dealt with and I'm SO glad and thankful you're here, and praying you stay here. I love you too. I looked up that verse. I like that very much. Thank you.

I am so thankful that you listened to "you" and went back for more testing. I remember so clearly during a time that I felt so bad.I was told over & over how "healthy" I was. I knew myself the best. After a bad seizure found out about the brain tumor. 2007 I found myself feeling odd again.Well there it was again.I'm rather stubborn so took care of business and by God's grace here I am. All of that to say take your thyroid meds even though it is a lot to think about. The internet is helpful however I chose to be educated and continue to praise the Lord through the storms.
