Dear Judy,
How was your appointment with your neurologist? I've been thinking about you and praying for you...Thanks for asking. The unstable moods are still taking 90% of my energy and attention. I spent a few days back on the psych unit to protect me from my self-destructive urges. I admit that I am tired (very) of going there. Actually, I am very tired of everything. We are stopping the ECT, at least for now. My TSH was supressed, but the T4 was super low - which we only discovered late Friday, so am waiting to see if my fill-in pDoc can catch up with my endo (who I haven't gone to for while). Either it is a lab error, or we need to make some major adjustments in my thyroid meds. I keep thinking that my long-standing Hashimoto's thyroiditis is wreaking havoc. Hopefully I am wrong, as in that case the treatment is Prednisone (which pDocs are scared of and so am I - for good reason). It could be a clue as to why all the mood stabilizing regimens in the world haven't worked. If I don't answer anyone it's because I am depressed and exhausted (with a capital E). There are so many kind, supportive and knowledgeable fellow sufferers on this board. I wish I could keep up and be more supportive.
Blessings,
Chris A.
