[QUOTE="Fraddycat, post: 325192, member: 46145"] Hi again Lilla, give yourself a little time, you'll get there. Before I was diagnosed I didn't realise I was ill I just thought I was getting old. I had gynae problems, incessant thrush, incredible debilitating tiredness, shakes before lunch, sleepies after lunch and a host of other annoying troubles. But because I was so busy and stressed at work I just thought I was over doing it. One or two mornings I could not get straight out of bed, I was so **** exhausted. One business trip I went to bed at 7.30pm with two duvets having shivers and complete washed out exhaustion and I thought that was my lot for the rest of my life ... Then I was diagnosed which for a while messed with my head. But when I got my numbers down, everything came back under control, my body was mine to command again. Since I found this forum my life has gone from ok to brill (sounds cheesy I know but its true). I feel so empowered, and the mild obsessiveness which I admit that I have at the moment about food makes me feel in control. I have just been out to dinner and had a lovely rump steak, I asked the waitress to replace chips with a salad, it was so yum. Now I am home I am drinking a coffee with cream, sheer indulgence.
