Prayers

My Endocrinologist called yesterday and said that my TSH levels are still pretty high (indicating a low-functioning thyroid). So, they increased my medicine again and will test me again in 6 weeks rather than 8. In 6 weeks they will also start testing me to try and figure out what else could be wrong--trying to figure out what is hindering the absorbtion of the medication. They will be starting by testing for Celiac Sprue.

When she was saying all of this I just kept thinking to myself "One more thing wrong? This can't be possible...". It's been 7 months since my radioactive iodine treatment and I haved lived every day since then (and before then too...) feeling exhausted. I don't even remember what life is like when I have energy and the desire to do things. Obviously I make myself get out and stay busy with the kids, but to be honest--deep down inside--I just want to be in bed. I'm just ready for this all to be over...

So, please pray for me. Pray for God to work a miracle and give me some energy to get through this. I have been taking a vitamin with my medication and the doctor said yesterday to not be doing that. So, it could be something that simple--just stop taking a vitamin at the same time! Please pray for that to be it!

On another note, there are many people much worse off than myself. Some of those people are Baby Stellan and his family (click the button on the lower right side of this blog to read Stellan's story). Please be in prayer for Stellan and his family also.

Thanks!!
