Dragon's debt diary

I have not been posting much, I think because pain really kicked in and add to that my thyroid has gone wonky again (I will have the upped dosage from next week), weight wise I have stuck round about 23 stone (322 pounds) BUT even though my thyroid has dropped too low again this time I have not put any weight on so Rations are working to the extent that I stayed the same!


Pain, hmm well the ankle is as bad as ever, and adding to that my pelvis has decided to join in so I can barely sit, standing, well forget it! and lying down is painful as well - just not as painful *wry grin*


Add into this depression, I was out yesterday (needed to go to the Post Office) and I called in the pub on the way back, when I left I had the feeling that they were glad to see me go and that they were laughing at me, which makes me not want to go down there without Dr Dragon, which means I will just not leave the house.

sorry to hear that everything is getting on top of you.Am sure they weren't laughing at you.Is there anything they can do for the pain?
that's good that your weight stayed the same perhaps when your meds are right you'll lose weight.

I think a lot of them are also symptomatic of diabetes as well (hence the reason they tested me for that at the same time)

How is the job situation at the moment LT?

Lemon_Tree

still waiting. things are moving along for some folk in both good and bad ways but we're still in limbo and will be for a little while yet. Financially i think that's probably a good thing but mentally i just wish they would get it over with and i can be the other side of it and know what i'm dealing with.
