I have no idea who reads this blog, well, I know one person who reads it regularly. Beyond that I do not know and I use a pen name so it may be that at this point I need to state that I have not felt physically well in a long time. Mentally is another matter all together. I have been diagnosed and found answers at times and I have had multiple symptoms that were not explained by tests of various kinds. I am not a hypochondriac. I have that on good authority from highly trained professionals. So...it is a little ironic and downright interesting that I am now diagnosed with a sickness that lists almost every symptom I have had over the past years. And, it is the perfect list for a hypochondriac...a hypochondriac's dream list. I have never heard of this sickness until now. I feel lousy, extremely depressed...well, look it up and read the list...I feel most of them and have for awhile now.
Hyperparathyroidism. I have it. Beyond a shadow of a doubt, I have a big ole case of it. I am symptomatic, blood tested and scanned with 100% certainty. I am ecstatic. They have found a "something they can fix". Simple surgery with almost instantaneous results. Read about it. I ain't lying. The surgery is on the neck so that is a delicate place but these are technologically improved days so the surgery is quick, out patient and, per everything I read, positive results occur in less than hours. I may feel physically better than I have felt in years. I am stoked.
Meanwhile, I am depressed to the point of wondering if I need someone with me most of the time and I have the energy of a slug. I forget everything, names of things, where I was three seconds ago, haven't filed my taxes yet, cannot seem to organize two items on a table by themselves and am not sure I care. Bring on the surgery. You can cool believe I am ready for it!
And if you know a hypochondriac...show them the list...make their day!
