Hi Laura Sue,
I hope you're feeling much better today. My heart goes out to you as I know what kind of exhaustion you are suffering even though I don't have the same condition. I do have a hypothyroid and was not on the right amount of medication up until about March 3rd when the doctor doubled the dosage of my synthroid. Still get tired but not as bad as before. However in the early 1980's I was diagnosed with cytomegalovirus which I think they now call CMV. I ended up sick for over 2 years before I was officially diagnosed. I ended up with cirrhosis of the liver and Hepatitis A from that dumb virus. I looked like I was at death's door at the time and felt like it. I must have gone through every test known to man at the time. Finally at Mass. General Hosp. a doctor discovered I had three seperate conditions, not one and was able to treat me. The virus did such a job on my liver though that I still have to be careful today. I was a little indignant back then with the cirhosis as I never drank and couldn't understand WHY ME? Got off my pity pot pretty fast though but I know I never thought the exhaustion would ever leave. It's the kind of exhaustion that you can't really make some one understand unless they've been there themselves.
That's why I feel so bad for you. You're always so upbeat with everyone and so helpful that if you didn't tell us we would never know by your attitude. I know my other friend Kandee is going through a hard time now also and she is such a sweetheart too. I appreciate having people like you on here. Everyone benefits from your great advise!!!
Hope you have a great day today and sorry for going on so long.

Hi Pat,
As you can see, I am butting-in again. I am really sorry to hear you have had so many problems.  I agree with you that posts from LS, Jen, Bev and others have all been very inspiring to all of us.
I hope you are feeling better today.

Hi Barbie,
Nice hearing from you. Have been doing a little better the last couple of weeks. There are some great people that post here. I'm fairly new here so enjoy checking out the posts to see if there is something I can help someone out with.
Loved reading your post about the good old days, especially American Bandstand as it brought back so many fond memories. Those things make us feel better also and we can all use some laughs in our life too. Laughter is probably the best medicine going, as it can take our minds off our problems, if only for a little while.
Keep posting!! Love hearing from you! I guess sometimes it's good to be a buttinsky or we wouldn't get to know one another!!! lol
Have A Great Day!
Pat (59 & Counting) lol
