Re: Little Engine that could!! (Little Engine that really COULDN'T!!)       05/17/04 05:32 AM Edit Reply Quote Dimples Reged: 04/01/04 Posts: 346 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. Pat Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
