People at work

So I find out today that some people at work think I'm a hypochondriac.   Just because I was dx'd with fibro and Graves disease in the same year.  

Just because I've had a few sick days out while I deal with what is happening to my body.
Just because the first meds I took were too strong and after giving it 6 weeks, had to change meds because it just made me too out of it.

So - all I have to do is have a great outlook on life and not eat and stop listening to the doctors.

So what if the doc tested me for a marker for heart attack and came up positive. 

So what if the doc tested me for a marker for high cholesterol and tri's and came up positive.
So what if I have diabetes in the family
All I have to do is believe I'm well and ignore the doctors and not be a hypochondriac.

So I guess to be acceptable to these people, I have to tell my endocronologist to stop treating my Graves, it's all in my head.

I guess I''ll have to tell my PCP that I have no need of the Cymbalta and Trazadone. Or the vicodin and calcitriol.   Because god knows everyone can will themselves better.   Just have a great outlook.

Coming from Ms this divorce is making me crazy and every dog is as important as a human being.

Vent over - but I'm still angry.   And you know what anger does.  Makes it all hurt worse. 

Lovely.

 

You should have asked her when she got her medical degree! Some people just don't get it and never will. Sounds like prefers to be the center of attention and you're stealing her limelight. Poo on her I say! We loves ya and know you aren't a hypochondriac, I wish that's all it was with ALL of us. Deep breathewe're here for you!

Thanks!   I'm just trying to create boundries for what I can and cannot do.

12 hour work days just ain't happening anymore.   I'm trying to get my type A personality under control.  I'm the worker that always says yes, I'll do it.   Then I end of working 6 12's a week.

I'm sure that is why I took it badly.  I WANT to be working and accomplishing things.   It's KILLING me not to be in control.  I'm trying soooo hard to please the doctor and stop hurting.

Yoga does help.  I'm way down on vicodin.  Why is it that you try to do something for yourself (health) and no one else is supportive. 

Oh well, I'll just have to grow a thicker skin.
