6 Phrases people with Chronic Illness don't want to hear!

Effects of Thyroid Dysfunction

Another Plexus success!

'

ENDOCRINOLOGIST NOW A PLEXUS BELIEVER!
Ashley Stuart shares:
"A couple of years ago, a nodule was found on my thyroid. Although it wasn't cancerous, my lab work showed "aggressive precancerous antibodies", which we were having to watch closely every few months. This was right around the time I started Plexus.
I just left my follow up appt in tears!! My endocrinologist walked in and told me that she had been researching, but that I officially made her a Plexus believer! After two years of being on these products, not only are ALL of these antibodies gone, but my thyroid level is PERFECT!
She said it was very rare that it turned around so quickly, (especially without medication) and that my immune system went from trying to attack itself, to working perfectly! WHAT a blessing!

Graves Disease

I got my labs back on Saturday and as I had guessed ive gone back to the hyperthyroidism side. Graves is in full effect and I can tell.  The week I need all the energy and feeling good I can get, I don't want to feel blah all freaking week. Sometimes its just not fair. And I really hate this disease!

Let me let you in on a little secret about people with Graves Disease!

Hopefully this will shed some insight to our loved ones on whats going on inside of us. You lose a lot of people to Graves Disease because people just don't understand...
Hi. My name is Graves’ Disease…
I’m an invisible autoimmune disease that attacks your thyroid gland causing you to become hyperthyroid.
I am now velcroed to you for life.
Others around you can’t see me or hear me, but YOUR body feels me.
I can attack you anywhere and any way I please.
I can cause severe pain or, if I’m in a good mood, I can just cause you to ache all over.
I can make you hyper, not just your thyroid. Then make you drop like a stone: people will probably start to think you’ve manic depression, doctors certainly will.
Remember when you and energy ran around together and had fun?
I took energy from you, and gave you exhaustion. Try to have fun now.
I can take good sleep from you and in its place, give you brain fog and lack of concentration.
I can make you want to sleep 24/7, and I can also cause insomnia.
I can make you tremble internally or make you feel cold or hot when everyone else feels normal.
I can make you feel very anxious or very depressed, too. I can also cause other mental health problems.
I can make your hair fall out, become dry and brittle, cause acne, cause dry skin, the sky is the limit with me.
I can take your, you won’t be able to remember what you wanted to say two minutes ago. I can even make you forget words, names and events.
I can make you loose weight no matter how much you eat.
I can make your thyroid gland swell so much it hurts to eat, while making you so hungry you have to eat all day long.
I can make your eyes swell too-so that they pop out of the socket.
Some of my other autoimmune disease friends often join me, giving you even more to deal with.
If you have something planned, or are looking forward to a great day, I can take that away from you. You didn’t ask for me. I chose you for various reasons.
I thrive on stress. You may have a family history of me. Whatever the cause, I’m here to stay.
I hear you’re going to see a doctor to try and get rid of me. That makes me laugh. Just try. You will have to go to many, many doctors until you find one who can help you effectively.
You will be put on the wrong medication for you, pain pills, sleeping pills, energy pills, told you are suffering from anxiety or depression, given anti-anxiety pills and antidepressants.
Even when they do know it’s me, you’ll spend years trying the right medications, you may have the parts I attack removed or killed to get rid of me. That wont work-I’ll still be here, and I’ll still attack you.
There are so many other ways I can make you sick and miserable, the list is endless – that high cholesterol, gall bladder issue, blood pressure issue, blood sugar issue, heart issue among others? That’s probably me.
Can’t get pregnant, or have had a miscarriage?
That’s probably me too.
Teeth and gum problems? TMJ? I told you the list was endless.
You may be given a TENs unit, get massaged, told if you just sleep and exercise properly I will go away.
You’ll be told to think positively, you’ll be poked, prodded, and MOST OF ALL, not taken seriously when you try to explain to the endless number of doctors you’ve seen, just how debilitating I am and how sick you really feel. In all probability you will get a referral from these ‘understanding’ (clueless) doctors, to see a psychiatrist.
Your family, friends and co-workers will all listen to you until they just get tired of hearing about how I make you feel, and just how debilitating I am.
Some of them will say things like “Oh, you are just having a bad day” or “Well, remember, you can’t do the things you use to do 20 YEARS ago”, not hearing that you said 20 DAYS ago.
They’ll also say things like, “if you just get up and move, get outside and do things, you’ll feel better.” They won’t understand that I take away the ‘gas’ that powers your body and mind to ENABLE you to do those things.
Some will start talking behind your back, they’ll call you a hypochondriac, while you slowly feel that you are losing your dignity trying to make them understand, especially if you are in the middle of a conversation with a “normal” person, and can’t remember what you were going to say next. You’ll be told things like, “Oh, my grandmother had that, and she’s fine on her medication” when you desperately want to explain that I don’t impose myself upon everyone in the exact same way, and just because that grandmother is fine on the medication SHE’S taking, doesn’t mean it will work for you.
The only place you will get the kind of support and understanding in dealing with me is with other people that have me. They are really the only ones who can truly understand.
I am Graves’ Disease.
