***Terrific Tuesday Roll Call***

Hi Kathy,
You are not the Wicked Witch of the West...you are dealing with the hormone drop of our age.  I am done the menopause stuff, and have not suffered too much from it...I guess all the psych meds I take help me. 

Venting is good...I don't do it enough these days.  It might be a good idea to vent to someone other than your husband...they just don't understand.  Call me if you need to vent...I am a good listener, and can certainly empathize with a lot of stuff you share.

Hugs,
Trish

Thanks Trish - A good vent is probably exactly what I need but I'm not sure where to start or where I'd stop (or if I even could at this point) - just seems like so much junk running around in my head and I can't sort it out - and the crazy thing is that life is pretty darn good for me right now, especially after all I went thru with my mom. But half the time I feel like I'm going to jump out of my skin - I'm on edge - I'm moody - I'm just NOT ME.

Monday I have an appt with an endocronologist about my thyroid - my ob-gyn (of all doctors) felt nodules when I had my annual exam, so I had an ultra-sound of my thyroid and yes, there are nodules, but that's all it said - and I've realized lately that I've been dealing with a sore throat for months now and am feeling run down but my bloodwork was good so I'm also attributing that to menopause - maybe its my thyroid? Hopefully I'll know a little more Monday.

Hey there hun. I too have / had nodules and cysts on my thyroid, so badly that I had to have 2 of them aspirated and then ultimately 3/4 of my thyroid removed. Now the remaining piece also has nodules that we are monitoring. You thyroid has LOTS of influence over all sorts of your bodies symptoms and I know when my levels are off I can be moody, sleepless, restless and irritable. Also hot / cold depending on which way it is off.

*hugs* If I can answer any thyroid questions let me know. I've leared a lot about it over the last 10 years lol

Thanks Liz! Thyroid problems seem to run in my family - my mother and both sisters have issues with theirs - mom was on synthyroid for the past 30 years - so is my younger sister, and my older sister has a goiter on hers. I think taking care of my mom for those last few months kept my mind off myself and once things settled down I realized how much my throat has been bothering me. Hopefully I'll know more on Monday after I see this specialist - my family doctor was a little 'confused' because the scan just said 'nodules' - didn't say good, bad or weird - just nodules.

Guess its good to know that the thyroid can be messing with my system, too - oh joy - two things going on at once - menopause and thyroid issues! I should probably warn my husband now and let him move into his man-cave for a while til the dust settles on this one!! LOL!!

Thanks for the offer - will keep you and Trish in mind when I start losing it.

Morning, everyone!

For some reason, i could NOT get up this morning!  It was like someone hit me over the head - dragging myself out of that bed was TOUGH WORK!!!  As a result, I was a full hour later getting out of the house than I had planned, but I went to see Steffi anyway.  Rescheduled the meeting I had at work - priorities, you know!  

I'm at wor****il 5, running home, doing training from 6 - 7 and then a client meeting from 7 until whenever we get done.  Yep - another busy day!  Hmmm.... maybe that's why I'm tired?  You think?

I hope you all have a great day!
