Taking A Break/Health Issues Taking A Toll

[TLight]

She Cat; I guess the only thing I can say is, when times are stressful to me, it helps me to see the plants growing, the cows grazing, the sun coming up tomorrow.

I'll be thinking of you.

GOOD NEWS!!!!!

Got home last night, but was to sick to do anything other than go to bed. I spent the night vomiting from a severe migraine that had lasted for 2 days......

MRI showed that my Pituitary Gland (the back Lobe) never fully developed. That is the portion of the gland responsible for releasing the hormone that controls thirst.....So when I had mentioned to my team of Dr's yesterday, that I have ALWAYS drank a lot and pee'd a lot, but lately it had been uncontrollable, one of them said, "Did you all hear her???" When the results came in, he came running into my room, with a huge smile and said he had good news.. I just broke down and cried.


So anyways I am on a med for the rest of my life. It's a hormone called Ddavp, taken twice a day. I will have to be monitored, and the drug titrated till we get the right dosage.......

It's been several weeks of an emotional hell, with negative thinking, depression, anxiety, and crazy thoughts, but hopefully I can drag myself out of this black pit and try to return to the land of the living.....

Thanks to all that have offered support, and or a kick in the butt... Much appreciated!!!!

Now you can rest and recover slowly.

Take care and don't rush things, you've had a a hell of a time with this but now finally you have the answers.

She Cat!

So glad that it's not a tumor :smile:!

Taking meds isn't so bad. Hey--for most of us (probably even you), it's normal.

As was said, "Take it easy". We need you! :Hug_emoticon:

I'm so glad to hear that this is something that's controllable by meds. Woohoo!!!! I did a mental fist punch in the air when I read your post.

Now...you need to take a little time and rest after this ordeal. I'm sure you're worn slap out-mentally and physically-by all of this. Take some down time and take care of yourself. Don't make me whip out my mom finger. I don't like to have to do it...but I will if you make me! :naughty:

Hugs and go lay down!

This is the best news ever. Congratulations on the "tiny pit gland"

It has been a long and bumpy road for you, so rest, relax and CRY! I say that because you have a ton of built up emotions that need to be released.

I am so so happy for you my friend. :occasion: :clap: :kiss:

I can't begin to tell you how much this has moved me. Jan -april 2007 I underwent tests for bowel cancer. 3 months in hell. Turned out is was IBS, but as the stress wratcheted up the symptoms got worse till i was incontinent. It wasn't fun. It saw me sink back into full blown PTSD. With added depression. And massive hyper-vigilance.


I am so happy for you and I can honestly say I know how you feel, cos i have walked in your shoes. I wish you all the very best. Look after yourself. you need a bit of love now.

I am so happy for you. Thanks for posting all this. You have made me3 weep with remembering. But theres joy in it for me.

Just brilliant!

Irton.
