Default Feeling real low now

Thank you so much for your replies.

I will practice relaxing.

Until a few years ago I had good health, and then in Sep 2006 I had a Thyroid Storm, and then was diagnosed with Graves Disease.

This year it seemed to be under control and I had enjoyed about 4-5 months of 'good' health... and then wham, this thing with walking into things, slurring words, missing my mouth and my legs started.

Last month I saw my endocrine specialist for the 'all-clear' on that side, hopefully. He took me off a block & replace programme (high carbimazole to stop the thyroid working, high thyroxine to replace the lost hormones). I thought at least that's one thing off the list... now just get this latest thing done and great.

Today I had a routine blood test, and the hospital just rang up to say the results are abnormal - I'm highly overactive again.

I am waiting for a call from the hospital to give me the date to go back in to have my tests... they rang yesterday and said they are still hoping to get me in later this week. I can't wait for them to be out of the way.

I just feel so blue at the moment... know I will come out of it, but feels so hopeless at the moment.

I will read through other stories on this forum as that helps a lot... it makes me realise how strong and wonderful so many people out there are... and I know it will give me the strength to carry on.

Thank you to everyone who's helped me by responding, and thank you also to all those wonderful people who have posted their stories... you have no idea how important they are to me.
