@DavidGrahamJones no apology neccessary, hope you get yourself sorted out soon. Best wishes LizI don't want to deflect @SlimLizzy 's thread, but I assume you meant your TSH is over range, not under?
When I started looking into thyroid issues, I joined the Thyroid UK element on Health Unlocked. It's rather like here, but for thyroid (funnily enough!). I have learned a huge amount from the guys on there, and I suggest if you haven't already that a look around there and maybe signing up could be helpful to you.
Good luck with it all. You've struggled with your own weight, albeit differently to SlimLizzy for quite long enough.
Apologies SlimLizzy. No more deflection from me on this thread.
Update, phone call from doctor, asking if appt letter has arrived. He then spent at least an hour on the phone and eventually managed to get me an appt on the 4th april. Apparently the wait for urgent CT scan appt is normally five weeks. So I am properly grateful.
Meanwhile we have taken the garden away, all pots, plants and tools are now gone to a temporary home with a friend.
Tomorrow we can go see the motorhome, observe the progress and decide on the final details. Should be able to collect it on Saturday, really will be just in time as it needs some work in the inside once we do get it back.
i got that wrong, its a CAT scan he has arrangedRequest for an urgent MRI scan, heard him on the phone, was practically begging for same day...Have already had blood tests and xray.
Got our motorhome back, only three weeks late, so all the " little" jobs have to be squeezed into 24 hours. The electric flush doesnt work, carpets need fitting, oven needs cleaning( ofc) filled the tank with water today, discovered all the hot water falls out underneathand Mr Slim is furious because one of the windows broke when he tried to close it. Took us about four hours to clean through, all the cupboards were dusty inside. Although the paintsprayers did make a good start at it.
People keep telling me to relax... Yeah, sure.
Our buyer has transport issues and will now be moving her large items into our conservatory tomorrow.
not sleeping too well atm, unsurprising really.
Thank you DJC3, have been downloading helpful stuff today and headspace is on the list. The motorhome is working surprisingly well as a distraction from the main issue. so both of us feeling a little less stressed today. I spent all day moving things out of the house, finding them new places, and then retrieving as needed plates/ phonecharger/ etc. While MrSlim worked on the hot water system, fixed the bike rack and assorted other heavy jobs. He is drinking wine out of a mug tonight! I have tea. Did find time for a visit to my lovely Mum, missing her a lot, after six weeks of daily contact.Can’t give this a ‘like’ as it’s too horrendous. Trying to relax in this situation is pretty impossible, but could you manage even 10 mins a day of sitting somewhere quiet and just closing your eyes and breathing? I think Ive mentioned before that I use the Headspace app and have found it really helpful in stressful times - it’s sort of guided meditation sessions, just 5-10 mins.
No advice or help I can offer but to say I’m thinking of you.
my tolerance for fat has improved so no longer stuggling to get enough calories.Afrer your appointment @SlimLizzy , did you go home and weigh on your own scales to ascertain how accurate the loss was?
Edited to add; what did he say about the issue you were having for getting your required calories eaten each day?
Dietary disruption is a most apt phrase. Weight is 47.6kg, 7st.6lb. That is probably down to amount of calories from alcohol this week.Glad you got your scan out of the way, @SlimLizzy . How's the weight doing, with all this stress, and associated dietary disruption?

It's almost the same, ofc there was also a lot of chocolate.Apologies, I don't know how that 47.6kg relates to last week, or the week before, but your calories from lcohol maybe suggests no further loss today?
Any results yet @SlimLizzy?
