***Terrific Tuesday Roll Call***
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,

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.
*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.
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!
