I am a
Snapdragon


What Flower
Are You?



I've been back at work part time for almost 2 months now, that might be making it harder for me to write. It seems after I get off at 1, I hit the ground running and don't really settle down until the evening. So much to do!


We are in my favorite season of the year! I am very happy about it, I love it when the weather changes, although it can be very subtle in So. Cal. My only complaint is that is going too fast! I have barely got my Halloween decorations out and it is already the 11th!!! Whew! Also, as with every year, I was hoping to make more of my Christmas presents, but I should have already started!! I haven't.


Haven't been feeling really great but It could be worse so I try to be grateful. I recently completed a whole slew of medical tests and nothing appears to be wrong. That is definitely good, but not feeling so great is not. I really feel like I may have thyroid problems, I have alot of the symptoms, and the one big one, a regularly low temperature. But my thyroid blood tests have come back "normal". I have been reading and there is an opinion that you can be hyperthyroid with normal tests if you have the symptoms. Unfortunately my doctor, whom I really like and trust, doesn't agree with that. So I may have to get another doctor who would be willing to take a look at that. Hmm. Otherwise, I am still trying to figure out why I don't feel good. I've been to family doctor, homeopathic doctor, neurologist, and a psychologist. Still nothing. Like I said, I glad on the one hand no one can find anything and still concerned on the other since I don't feel normal. It's been about a year. Going back to work part time has actually helped just becuase I deal with people and it takes my mind off of how I am feeling. I can function daily and do what I need to do, I can push myself through it, but I would rather find out what it is and hopefully fix it. I have never mentioned this in a post before I don't think, but I guess the frustration and a little fear have made me want to put it out there.

It's my favorite time of the year too, I love the cool weather and yellow/red/orange trees.

That's the catch 22 about testing, you get the test to ease your mind, and it does jut the opposite because we all know (or think) they're unreliable. The life of a hypochondriac is not an easy one. ;)

You know your body more than anyone and you know you have an energy drain going on. I hope you find out what it is soon. I can really relate, I found out that my medication went past its due date and was poisoning me! It took me a while to figure it out, I hope you figure out some time very soon.
