Again, Scott, your words blow me away. And I will think about it.
The problem with drugs is that it's not just that they don't work -- it's that they have the exact opposite effect on my brain chemistry of what they're supposed to have. So it's very, very risky to even try new combinations. My T and I have talked about it, of course, but we're trying to get through this without adding anything else to the mix.
It may be that my life changes once my thyroid is under control (I'm not sure if you know that part -- I had radioactive iodine treatment in Dec. to destroy my thyroid because I have warring autoimmune disorders -- Graves and Hashimoto's. It appears to everyone right now that I'm cycling fairly rapidly between hypo and hyper. My bipolar thyroid gland. And it just won't die.). But I think it still won't be good enough. I'm so tired of this journey and of having to rebuild my life after one of these episodes. I'm just not sure I have it in me to do this anymore.
