Sick of being sick

[TKLOVE]

Thank you so much for the advice and support, I’ve got an appointment with my arthritis consultant in a couple of weeks and I’m going to request coming off my current treatment as I just don’t think it agrees with me, even tho it has been the most successful treatment with regards to improving my arthritis symptoms but I’ve felt unwell for the whole 18 months I’ve been taking it I’ve felt unwell, just in the last 4 months I’ve suffered from several infections and had every virus know to man in psst 4 months I have ive had shingles, tonsillitis twice and currently have septic toes I’ve never felt so ill in my life as I do right now, my last lot of blood tests showed I had an inflamed liver and a low thyroid and boarder line diabetes so I’ve been for more tests today so if the results are the same then fingers crossed they will do something about it as all the symptoms I have match the symptoms of thyroid, liver and diabetes issues, so with any luck they might get to the bottom of what is making me feel so ill, as I’ve felt like this for over a year now and I can’t carry on feeling like this any longer 😖😩

Sending you healing prayers and lots of love. May your body be healed. May you find the answers you need. This journey is leading you to wisdom, at quite a painful cost, but you’re getting closer to the end of this misery. Treasures we never knew are always waiting on the other side of intense suffering. This I have learned. Sending you peace in this moment.

Awww thank you for your extremely kind words of encouragement, it’s the not knowing that I can’t cope with once I have a diagnosis I will feel much better as I have so many symptoms I am beginning to think it’s all in my head, this whole situation has had a huge impact on the progress I had made on coping with my anxiety and depression and now I’ve ended up back where I started as I’ve stopped going out again unless I have no choice and when I do I have severe panic attack’s and most days I can’t even face getting out of bed and I’m sleeping between12&16 hrs a day, I feel like a let down as I’d come so far with the CBT method to over come my fear off going out due to weight issues after putting on 5stone which is a side effect of the arthritis treatments I’m taking, but if that wasn’t bad enough 1 of the numerous symptoms I have developed in the last few months is severe hair loss which has completely crushed the little bit of confidence I had worked really hard to achieve, so not only am I struggling to cope with feeling extremely ill 24 hrs a day I’m also devastated that all the hard work it took to achieve my goals and accomplished things I thought I’d never do again was all for nothing as I’ve ended up back we’re I started 🙈😢

I understand how ill you feel. I have diabetes, liver disease, and thyroid issues as well and they seem to drain and bring down the immune system. You are on the right track of having your doctor put your puzzle together. You may have days where you still struggle but there is help available. Feeling physically ill can make us feel hopeless and down on top of the physical issues. Please know that you are not alone. I am praying that God will give your doctors wisdom to find a treatment that is right for you.
