Don't know what the future holds for me
In the last few weeks I've developed a strange syndrome:
1) I'm cold all the time, even though I have plenty of T3/T4 in my bloodstream (I'm getting enough Levothyroxine, combined with what my thyroid produces, to show normal levels of thyroid hormone in my bloodstream).
2) On each shin I have large, open, weepling sores that won't scab over and won't go away, and they seem to be getting bigger.
3) I'm light-headed all the time.
4) My feet, ankles, and lower legs are so badly swollen I can hardly get on the shoes I bought a few months ago, which fit just fine then. And the skin on my lower legs feels tight, like it's ready to burst due to fluid buildup in my legs.
5) I may have a bladder and/or kidney infection.
6) I seem to be anemic.
7) On many of my fingers I have deep, painful cuts. I don't know how they came to be there. They hurt like hell.
I'll be seeing my doctor on June 13, this coming Friday -- but if there's a cancellation before then and I can make it in to see him that day, I can come in earlier. I don't know what he'll recommend.
I feel dreadful. Sick, tired all the time, slightly queasy. I wonder what's going to happen to me.
