All Things Health

Hope your feeling better Candy.

I am hoping so.

I shall collect it on Tuesday: they won't retract the prescription.

Got my echo today, and they said everything was normal. No heart disease-related cause of my palpitations it seems, so that's good.

He mentioned the carotid artery has no stenosis, and they are nice and open, so he thinks the bruit is just from my goiter.

So, back to the drawing board of trying to figure out triggers/causes and trying to fix my symptoms somehow lol

My daughter and I went to the flower market we saw some really lovely flowers and plants. I bought a goblin for the garden and she got a strawberry plant. When we stopped for a snack outside the glass fronted museum my daughter noticed a smart young man in a suit inside the building, in plain view of the busy street sitting on the floor looking at his phone and he was visibly upset. As we ate our snack he suddenly began to sob, we were outside so we couldnt hear anything but he was really sobbing. His head in hands, shoulders shaking with distress as he cried.
Its so unusual to see a grown man cry , so we knew there had to be something seriously wrong. Yet people walked past and ignored him, some people inside the building walked inches away from him and did nothing, one man stopped but only to ask for directions to the toilets and outside where we sat only one person showed any concern..A child said 'daddy that man is crying' but her father just shrugged, took her hand and walked away. I held her food while she spoke to a member of the museum staff and asked if they could help the man.

With mental health very much in the news and mental health awareness week just around the corner it was sad and shocking to see that people just didnt care, didnt want to get involved..This wasn't a homeless person or a drunk or a junkie or someone in an alley late at night ( so no excuse about personal safety issues) it was a smart young man in a nice suit in a museum during lunch hour but even so no one was willing to take a moment to just ask 'are you ok'? No wonder we need awareness weeks people are so selfish and self absorbed if we didnt have them no one would ever get any help at all..

There are a lot of arses about.

Many years ago, I was driving along on a main road. There was a van coming towards me, and the driver, a man, had tears running down his face.

I still think about that every so often.

I know, mine hasn't been right for a long time and I am on meds for it.    levothyroxine. 

Snap.... mine went wrong in 1999. I had radioactive treatment which killed it and now I'm on thyroxine.

I am, too.

I take no meds whatsoever. Just my self chosen vitamins/minerals tablets.

Popcorn&Candy Definitely what cassie said. Sounds like a dose increase would be needed if sleeping alllll the time. Both sides give fatigue but in different ways.

I'll be tired later this morning: I felt restless in bed and couldn't sleep. I got out of bed at 4am. HOWEVER I will be napping later this morning, just to recharge my batteries.

Good luck.
