Struggling....


I went to the Dr's on Thursday evening after work and got results from my bloodtests. The results show my thyroid medication needs to be lowered again, I am taking too much oroxine and taking too much of course doesn't help with weight loss just as taking not enough!! Dr said we'll get it right soon, it is a matter of trial and error .... and then I'll be be able to carry on losing weight. At the moment I am battling,,,,I feel as though I have gained at least a couple of kilo's,,,,I can feel it in my clothes. Dr said I will struggle with the 'hungry's" and feeling blahhh until the oroxine levels out.....and of course menopause doesn't help either. Nor does the stress of having my son and little family live with us. Son is still ok at moment but it's like walking on "eggshells" around him at times. He is using still and at times moody and unpredictable. It just breaks my heart to see him go this way again after all the effort he went through at detox and rehab. The last 18 months I truly did have my son back,,,,now I am losing him again. Anyways am really trying to keep it together, some days are better than others. Monday evening I will weigh in.....if you hear a SCREEEEEEEECHHHH off in the distance, don't worry it will only be me!! Till then I will keep on walking everyday, trampoling when I can and try to make wise choices.....but mostly try not too stress.

  1. Dear Jen,
    Thanks for communicating your struggles. It helps to focus my prayers for you on your real needs.
    Drugs really steal our children from us and distort the personality of those we love so dearly.
    I really do hope things will settle and your own medication(legal drugs) will be adjusted so can start to function better yourself.
