Sending you good thoughts of festive fistulas and quick healing, Morgana.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
I hope the surgery goes well, Morgana.
Very best outcomes to you Morgana.
Medical~ma, Morgana.
Doggy-dental~ma, erika.
Surgery~ma, Morgana!
May your back fix itself quickly, smonster.
Interview-ma, meara!
Surgery~ma for Morgana and interview~ma for meara. And a good dose of surviving-the-holidays ~ma all around!
Interview/right-thing-happening~ma for meara.
I just heard back from the doctor wrt the results of my latest round of thyroid testing - he's recommending doubling the current dosage of meds. I guess if what I'm on can make me tired when I'm supposed to be tired - enough to actually get to sleep - twice as much might possibly make me feel somewhat more energetic when I'm supposed to be awake. I hope.
I'll probably spend the rest of my life wondering why it takes 20 seconds to find a doctor to prescribe appetite suppressants chemically related to amphetamines, but 20 years to find a doctor who thinks it is rational to test thyroid function by testing thyroid function.
Appropriate ~ma to meara, erika, and Morgana.
WindSparrow, I am so angry on your behalf.
Nora, none left, I don't think. I have my 1st appt with a psychiatrist today, but I'm guessing asking for a side of Flexeril wouldn't go well. I took a hot bath, and managed to pop it back in with a belly dance move, but it's gotten worse today. Can't twist at all. So I may be headed to urgent care after my psych appt. Yayes.
WS: I'm glad you have a doc who is doing the correct testing on you. I will say, based on my experience, you will be adjusting your thyroid meds for the rest of your life. It took a good year for me to get to the right dose and I get little tweaks every 6-12 months.
