Here is my rant:
ok on sunday i got the flu (still have) in which i couldn't let anythin touch me (not even sheets) and then i spnt one night in agony as my fever went so high that my muscles started cramping including my diaphragm (making it painful to breathe) etc
thennnnn
i'd been noticing since friday that one of my eyes looked wider than the other and i thougt i was inmagineing it....until everyone else said i wasn't as they could see it. so i went to the dr and he went spastic about how the illness in my thryroid (graves disease) could be causing it and how i needed to go to an endocrinologist (hormone specialist - as the thyroid controls hormones) and how i needed a CAT scan STAT ( he didn't say stat but it sounds cool)
thennn
so the endocrinologist says my eye has its own case of graves disease that can happen only in the eye or only in the throid and sometimes in both. so lucky me has both! so the fatty tissue and muscles behind my eye are getting bigger and pushing my right eye forward
thennnnn
my dad does the cat scan and says that there's no tumor and just the graves disease
annnnd
i had to get a MEGA blood test to test for almost EVERYTHING in my blood. and i have to take MEGA dosages of prednisone to hopefully make my eye go down (tho there is not treatment they just hope it works). luckily my eyes isn't toooo noticable and i got in early
AND NOW
with everyone poking and prodding my eye i now have conjunctivitis in both eyes
DOES IT GET ANY WORSE???
I'm a big bowel of sickness ready to make bread: a little chronic fatigue, a dash of graves diease of the thyroid, a little exopthalomas (the eye thing), one cup of flu, and 2 teaspoons of conjunctivitis.
wooo what a wonderful week. I have 2 days left of this nightmare week.....what else can happen?
