I am sorry you're having so many health issues, but hopeful because you seem to have some doctors who really care and want to help you get better. Prayers 🙏🙏🙏
Hi Nicole! It was nice to see you today! I have to say, some days are diamonds and some days are just coal. However, this too shall pass and it usually does. Maybe not right away, but it does. You do bring up good points and the one I think is most important is, to listen to your body. Tell your Drs. when you don't feel right. It's not just in our heads. If you need to, go find a new Dr. that will listen to you. Take good care! ❤
I totally agree. Some days are good and some days are not so great. It’s all about how you handle them. And also about how you say to yourself it’s ok if you can do so much - and not be too hard on yourself. Yes it’s always good to listen to your body. Tell your dr when things are off. And it’s not just in your head. Don’t let anyone say otherwise. Push and try to advocate for yourself. And if that’s difficult - maybe bring a friend or family member who you trust and can advocate for you. Cause sometimes it’s hard to do that. I recognize and respect that it’s hard for some that have difficulty doing so. Not everyone can do it right off the bat. It’s a growing process to do this. But to do it is to love yourself more!
Nicole, I truly appreciate you and your kind heart. For you to worry about all of our Mental Health. Says a lot about you, Sweet Friend. I'm keeping you in my Thoughts and Prayers. Also,I had the surgery you are facing. It made my life much better, so imhoping you get relief like I did. Please do Exactly like the Dr. Says. Its very important on a Full Recovery. I had Ovarian Cancer with a Radical Hysterectomy which my ovaries were covered in 3" Pointed cyst/tumors. I had 1 hot flash but, The Migraines left me and I only have them very seldom. Bless You.❤️🥰🙏🏼
I’m glad to be the advocate for those who need it. It needs to be talked about so much more! Thank you so much for your support! I’m so glad to hear that the surgery helped you! I’ve heard that from so many people. So I’m hoping that it’ll help me as well. Even if it’s just a little bit. Cause a little bit is still better than nothing! It’s funny cause I don’t think other than the c-section for my youngest son did I think I would be looking forward to a surgery so much! I’ve got about 3 weeks till it happens.
Have the dr check your thyroid levels to make sure they are at the right levels. And for your tremors ( shakes could be caused from one of the bipolar medications . You might want to look at that too
Barb yep. That was one of the very first things we checked about 2 yrs ago. I’ve had the tremors for awhile. They’ve just slowly gotten worse and worse over time - and are so noticeable now that it’s become difficult to deal with. They also wanted me to see if that helped with my stomach pains as well, but that didn’t change it either. My psychiatrist changed the dose and then changed the meds entirely. Now it’s just more testing. They’ve found lesions previously on my brain MRIs which can indicate MS and since my symptoms are so close to it that’s what they’re looking at. It’s the tremors that my neurologist is concerned about because of my family history. So on the 18th and 19th I’ll be having a total of 4 MRIs and then I have a swallow test as well since I’m having problems with that too. Then I’ll be having another brain scan to check for Parkinson’s.
Your health and well being is what’s important. I pray that you feel better soon and that you have a full speedy recovery.
Thank you so much!!

I'm struggling right now; trying to do things with yarn that make me happy.
I’m sorry to hear that. I hope the yarn projects are helping. I know for me sometimes it helps.
I was young when I had my uterus removed... 28 or 29. I couldn't drive a car for 6 weeks, but I mowed the yard only 3 weeks later.lol😂
LOL I’m pretty sure I’ll be exactly the same way. 😉😂
I have a swallowing problem as well. I choke on liquids as well as food.
I’m so sorry to hear that. It’s so frustrating I know.
