Yvette, thinking about you. How are you?

Flower
Don't worry about being a downer. You're far from that. Just concentrate on recovering. All of us in here have some sort of pain, whether it's physical, emotional or in many of our cases, both.

I’m With You
You seem to have an upbeat personality like myself. I've been wheeled out of surgery smiling, in pain, but somehow smiling. Maybe it was the anesthesia, haha.

Close Thyroid Cancer
Hello group! I am 3 weeks post total thyroidectomy. I have papillary that has spread to the lymph nodes. I will see an endo. md next week. I was told that I will have radioactive iodine treatment and a full body scan will be done first to see if it is in other lymph nodes or tissue. I am a 47 yr old woman who has seriously been sick for a long time. I finally got a dx after many tests and many drs. I was dx with bi-polar disorder 10 yrs ago....I am now questioning that. nutshell version!
Treatments
- Cytomel Too Soon to Tell
- I am so tired all the time! I am told that I have to be on a low dose for now. I do not know of any side effects yet.
Close Fibromyalgia
I have had fibro for approximately 14 yrs. I was in the process of getting some tests done by my rheumy as I have some indicators of auto-immune disease as well. But as luck would have it I now have thyroid cancer. Fibromyalgia does not stop hurting and wreaking havoc on me while I try to recover from cancer. At the moment the fibro is more of a problem. Stress = pain.
Treatments
- Cyclobenzaprine Working / Worked
- occassionally use it when back spasms are bad with ibuprofin. Helps somewhat but I limit it's use because I don't like alot of drugs.
- Effexor Not Working
- drug from hell! gave me sweats and nightmares for the whole 12 days I was on it.
- Heat Working / Worked
- I get in my old claw-foot tub when I am aching and the hot water helps alot. Heating pads help for lower back too.
- Neurontin Working / Worked
- I tried it many years ago and felt no improvement after a few months.
- Provigil Working / Worked
- worked very well for the mind numbing fatigue but my new drug company said you cant have it because you do not have narcolepsy or shift work sleep disorders! They suck.
Open Impotence & Erectile Dysfunction
I am married to someone with e.d. and I don't know how to handle it.
Treatments
- Levitra Somewhat Helpful
- it works only a little
