“Why am I working so hard yet moving so slowly?”

Often I find it hard to let people see me when I'm really sick, some treat you with looks of pity, others treat you like a china doll and others ignore you. (perhaps because they don't know what to say) It's hard to know what to say to someone who has a disorder thats not going to go away. I don't even know what to say, or how to deal with it. But similar to someone dealing with grief they don't need someone to say the right thing, they just really need a friend. Cause when you deal with something that changes your life you grieve things you'll never get to do, and you learn new limits every day. Today I found myself pondering this question of, “Why am I working so hard yet moving so slowly?” I look around and see people getting things done fast, graduating in the proper 4 years, and going out to hangout with people. And as much as I try it's hard not to compare yourself, cause trying so hard and still floundering feels like I'm the only person in world racing around in slow-motion while the world flies by around me. Yet, I then get really excited when I do things like get an A on a midterm. People brush it off or are sad they didn't get an A+ but to me; I worked extra hard for that A it took 4 weeks of studying hard through bouts of flu's  to get. It's a-m-a-z-i-n-g to me, like a gold medal, I just want to tell everyone cause I'm so proud. This disorder all though very lonely, has given me a new appreciation for accomplishments, big or small, getting an A to doing dishes. I thank God for that aspect of this circumstance because I appreciate his help and all the things we can do together.

Today I woke up, ate breakfast, studied, then put on my recording of class lectures as I did yoga, and dishes, and then studied my notes some more. Yet, I feel as though I have a filled all my server space up in this brain and need some extra ram, drive, GB, a new disk? anything really! I've been shaky lately which has caused me to start dropping things, its like i have grease on my hands, I get so frustrated and embarrassed. I have 3 hours of energy and then am entrenched in a foggy state that comes and goes, thus studying is feeling like a war I don't thinking I'm winning. So I switched it up from writing out flashcards to writing lines in my note book which surprisingly has helped. Probably due to the fact that often I forget what I wrote, right after I wrote it. So writing a point out a few times is more likely to stick. I'm going to see my doctor soon about this awful cough I have had for 3 weeks it's like a bear trying to growl it's way out. If past lives and reincarnation were truly possibly, perhaps the bear inside me holds some truth, I feel like my sleep pattern may line up too. I mean I'm always tired perhaps I should be hibernating, it sounds kinda nice. Any who, I need to tell my doctor about the cough that has not gone away, the back that extra, and extra other painkillers still aren't helping and also that I feel like my memory is getting worse. Which is possible due to Hashimoto's, it effects far too much. I'm sore and very very sleep so Goodnight all I'm off to hibernate :)

The conundrum continues...

Like a mosaic I feel broken into so many fragmented parts of who I am, dumbfounded by what this mess of pieces could possibly turn into. I feel as though I have neglected this blog as I have not wanted to share these hard feelings I am having, so I have not voiced them in entirety or made known their existence because sometimes I feel like if these thoughts are outside of my head then they become real. And that would make them a part of my reality. However, not saying anything about them will not make them disappear. A few weeks ago I finally went into Vancouver for the long awaited appointment at the BC Women's Centre for Pelvic Pain and Endometriosis, with their Surgeon. In preparation for it they have you watch rather graphic video's on why there is endometrial pain and how they can help with removal of tissue and cysts. I went in with an understanding of what we would be talking about and how it pertained to my situation. However, I was not expecting that the pain mapping would take place during that appointment or what it would entail. I was asked if we could do the mapping during the appointment, I agreed to it immediately part out of naivety, and part out of desperation. I soon realized just how unaware I was. As it included causing a lot of pain in order to find (map) where the most pain was through the use of an EV Ultrasound, which to be frank is similar to being beat with a stick from the inside out. I walked down hallway from her office in pain with tears streaming, and on the way out I was handed a packet of information on the surgery that I had also agreed to. With the promise of a surgery to take away a major part of my pain I realize just how desperate I've become. Surgery in January.... Merry christmas and Happy New Year to me....?

In the event that you are curious about said video's they can be viewed here: http://www.womenspelvicpainendo.com/resources-for-patients/

Flipping through the info packet I see that research has shown that people with endometriosis have a 40-50% chance of not being able to have kids. Reading further into the packet I learned that the chances of becoming pregnant go down with age and after reviewing this I researched further on the subject only to find that they were correct. Go figure a research facility being correct. This felt like an added bruising to an already low blow. The days that followed seemed full of deflected frustration. This is a curve ball thrown at my revised Plan what is it D? Now after much revisions were onto Plan E as in Exceptionally different, Exasperated by changes, Exhausted by revisions..... since my Plan A was destroyed by this whole getting sick matter and then Plan B was taken out by the realization that the pain was increasing and not going to go away anytime soon then Plan C was revised due to the naivety that there was a name and cure for what I had and that what I had was a singular disease. A lot has changed from the days when a plan seemed like a good idea. And I think that's just it, having a plan is a silly idea that I have some sort of control over what happens to me, these events are out of control and that is a hard thing to come to terms with.

Now that is a lot to think about and it has plagued my thoughts up until this week when I saw the Naturalpath doctor who had the results from his last lyme test. It seemed like a hail marry when he asked to do one last test after the rest had come back negative. And perhaps it was, but the result of this more specific test unveiled a less specific answer. For once in a couple years it was positive, yet is neither here nor there as it is a specific test called IgM 31 kDa Epitope and was positive, but for what? \

Well I tried breaking it down into english as lab's and doctor's seem to complicate things further than they need to be...

• "IgM refers to those antibodies that are produced immediately after an exposure to a disease, while IgG refers to a later response. Given the cyclical nature of the infection and the slow lifecycle of Lyme bacteria, you can pop positive on either type of test both weeks or years into an active infection. Your body is essentially getting reinfected constantly."  

• The 31 kDa epitope test is to confirm (or not) that the reaction seen on band 31 on the western blot is due to borrelia rather than some type of virus. Band 31 has some cross-reactivity with viruses, meaning if I had one of the viruses that causes cross-reactivity at the time that I was tested, then the reaction at band 31 may be due to the virus and not borrelia. 

 So then in conclusion, I could be positive for lyme or I could be positive for a cross reactive virus. Thus the choices are still slim and ever so complicated. The Dr thinks that we should continue with discovering wether or not it is Lyme which would include 2 weeks of Herx antibiotics and then retest. Herx, apparently hurts similar to chemotherapy. This treatment is a debatable option as it's an undetermined option as politics surrounding wether or not the medical board will allow the use of IV antibiotics in the treatment of Lyme. Thus I may or may not have something that I may or may not be able to be treated for. The conundrum continues... And so now you know the things that are causing me to worry, this isn't even including the fact that I have three midterms in two weeks. I'm not sure where I am headed, I know I need support right now because these are hard circumstances but things will change as life is not a series of still photos it is a fast paced action movie and I'm not giving up I will press onward in faith that things will continue to change as they always do and this will pass as it has to. There are only 60 minutes in an hour and then that hour is gone, it can not rewind thus the scariest most uncertain times in life must go by as minutes in an hour it'll fade away. And once it has gone something new is born from it because we are ever changing. We learn something new, incorporate it into our being or discard it but either way we are changed by it's presence, as we have knowledge of it's existence, thus we are not the same people before who were unaware. Things change, circumstances fade away, and life is consistently being reborn.

Auto Draft

he jests at scars that never felt a wound

The phone rings and I lay in pain watching it, knowing there's no way I'm going to make it through a conversation right now, I can hardly talk to the cat, and to whomever was calling I truly am sorry that I did not pick up. For the past few days I've been avoiding life, it seems I've fallen into this fog of pain that slightly disorients me. I know I should call the doctor and make an appointment, but to be honest I'm avoiding him too. After he told me he didn't think they'd ever figure out what ails me, I just lost faith in him as he did in helping me. Although I know I have to see him for the results of my thyroid ultrasound, I just don't want to see him and be discouraged again. Hope is a necessity when dealing with this mass amount of pain, and I can't lose it, it's all I have. Hope that diagnostically there will be an end to the pain, or at the very least an answer. Hope that spiritually what I go through can have some positive effect on others, to bring glory to God, or at the very least console one other person. Although I have my doubts that either will come to pass, or that it has impacted anyone else. It's hard to see through the fog of all of this, to really know if it makes any difference to anyone but me.

Last night I was up till 3 am because I can't sleep. It all just hurts far too much, and there are no more pain killers I can take. I have a bit of a temperature and severe pain in my rib cage and bones. I awoke today puking and feeling tender, but at least the hard painful lump in the cafe of my left leg has gone. Which ensues another debate over wether or not it's worth going into see the doctor over, and at first we agreed that I should but then comes the question of well what else hurts? The answer is too much. So if I go in which problem will the doctor be able to do something about, and if I go in will he assume its all the fibromyalgia since I have so many oddities within. I don't know, and so I digress that it can wait to get worse or better.

It's hard to be in a frozen state, of perpetual pain and unknown. As I have mentioned before this state of unknown pain makes planning in life a lot more difficult. I just want to please everyone, and sometimes I go to far and it's at the cost of myself. I hope people around me can understand or at least, do not take things the wrong way, if I cannot make it out to an event that's been planned. I never mean to offend anyone and it's only because of being sick that I cannot attend. There is no deeper meaning by not attending, nothing implied, no lines to read between. Yet, I feel as though we each come from our own bias perspectives and sometimes don't first think of where the other person is coming from.

Open and honest communication is so important in life, and yet still so difficult, as I sit frustrated by others perspectives. It's interesting how vocal and judgemental people can be about a situation their not facing day in and day out. When they are not the ones dealing with it, I wonder if they stop to consider how it might feel, or how they might deal with it had it been them instead of me. And I don't mean this directly at anyone in particular so again do not think that there are lines to read between or that it's secretly aimed at anyone. It's just my own perspective at the moment, that I want to be honest about sharing as I know there are many others who deal with the difficulties of human interaction while living with a painful or debilitating disorder.

It's not easy missing out on events that you wanted to go to, with family or friends you want to see. Eventually friends drift away because, after so many cancellations no matter how old the friendship they just stop asking. That's been a hard thing to get past, not only the lose of health but the lose of friends too. Then when events are attended there's always the same polite question of, "how are you?" That's a tough question to not only answer but that I also receive a lot of criticism over.

What other people have said about answering the question "How are you" when in chronic pain:
- http://curingchronicpain.com/how-does-a-chronic-pain-sufferer-respond-to-how-are-you

Sure, it’s just a friendly formality, but what else can you say after you’ve said ‘Hello’?

Seems simple enough, but any self-respecting chronic pain sufferer who wants to appear positive, yet honest may think twice before answering that dreaded question. Would you really like to know what they are thinking?

-http://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/251185.page

I know this is a silly question, but I used to be in great health and never thought about how to answer this question. In the past year, I had a car accident and have had lingering issues. Friends or co-workers ask me how are you and I honestly don't know how to answer. I hate to be a downer, but I am in constant pain and facing potential surgery. Answering "just great" seems fake to me. With close friends, I may share more, but I have a really intrusive co-worker who is always asking me details about my medical condition (made the mistake of telling her i was not so great when she kept pressing why I was out of the office for a few weeks). I always feel like I am answering inappropriately. Suggestions from people with chronic conditions?

-http://gracefulagony.wordpress.com/ 

The questions I hate most these days are ‘What are you doing? ‘, ‘So what have you been doing lately?’, and my all time fave, ‘So what is it that YOU do?’ (that one is usually asked by people I first meet in relation to what career path I’ve chosen)
What DID, DO, or WILL I?
Absolutely nothing, thanks for asking!!!
Well of course that’s not what I say…. I mean, not out loud anyhow. I usually say ‘not much’ or mumble how being a Mom keeps me busy (If they only knew my son is in Grade 5, makes his own lunch every day and is very independent outside of school.), or I try to just change the subject. ‘What are YOU doing?’ seems to be a good enough reply. People like talking about themselves generally, and are only too happy to take the focus off of me and onto themselves.

A side note

On the ferry to salt spring island I was sitting in the car as the ferry backed out of the dock. The only way I could tell we were backing out was the point of reference I could see just barely through the rows of cars, I watched another ferry still docked. Once it was out of sight I no longer had a reference point to know which way we were turning, although I could feel the powerful boat moving I had no clue which way. It reminds me of pain, I reference a time when I had no pain and by remembering that I know which way my pains are heading, better, or worse, something I've felt or something I haven't. When storms come sometimes I forget what my point of reference is and it seems troubling to know if this is a worse pain then my normal pain, if it's worth mentioning or like my gallbladder if it's a lot more of a red flag then I think. It's hard to know when the pain's consistently inconsistent. The same goes for faith it's sometimes requires a Leap into the unknown or holding onto hope when you don't know if life will get better you try to find a point of reference to give you strength in knowing what direction your headed. For myself I need to remember not my past faith but my faiths past as a reference point. Meaning that when I don't know where I'm going I need to remember the captain does and god does and I couldn't drive this ferry.

Quick unwilling update

These past few week have been a bit of an unexpected landslide, as admittedly the new birth control has been angering my cysts, intestines, and neuropathic pain. The pain it's caused, has lit me up like a christmas tree with varying levels of pain switching as though it were on a timer. The most bothersome symptom is that I keep getting electric jolts of pain in my hand and end up dropping whatever I was holding, i.e. cell phone, fork full of food, mug I liked...etc. I called the Dr.'s office and they told me it's too vital to the surgery to go off of it would be jeopardizing the surgery that's already been moved up to December 20th. So I am stalemated by drugs that cause wicked side-effects without other options. The Cysts seem to be trying very hard to fight off the BC pill as it tries to shrink them, throughout my intestines a war is being battled, and I am in turn, in the bathroom enough times to be Clark Kent transformed into superman three times over. The exhaustion I feel is almost unbearable but, I continue, if I nap in a feeble attempt to rest I just lose time, as I will wake from the nap feeling unrested and groggy. When I sleep at night, I am told I can't reach deep levels needed as my pain levels are too high thus, chronic fatigue sets in.  

However, looking into the IUD that my Dr. recommended I allow them to insert, I did my own research and found some shocking law suits to the IUD company Mirena, which is her recommendation. As well as the fact that they cause min-abortions monthly as they do not stop fertilization, it seems they just cause a whole ton of bad thing, abortions, birth defects, cysts, blood clots, etc. It's sad they don't give you all these facts when suggesting you get it implanted inside you. 

Just one of the many things I've been going over in preparation for surgery. If left alone with my own thoughts all I can think of is one looming thing...surgery got bumped up to a week after final exam's and 4 days before christmas....Dec. 20th I go into Women's Hospital and they will take out cysts that have grown, or have formed, and they will be taking out the scar tissue that has attached to organs, or intestines after some cysts have burst and they will cauterize the area's that need that too...I push hard to keep going everyday, I attend classes, I am working on two 12 page papers and I am trying so hard but most of all I just want to sleep....eat some cream of broccoli soup...and sleep...I just want to numb this but how..this pain might not kill me but its starting to feel like a work in progress on top of papers at least...

What you can do when I am sick

What do you say when someone tells you they are dealing with a chronic illness? Well most say, "let me know if there is anything I can do" It's a common kind/or curtsey thing to say to some one who is sick, and as the one with a chronic disorder I never know what to say for you to do. Its not that I don't ask cause I don't need your support, cause I desperately do. 

Mostly I feel like that is the hugest thing I need in my life these days as things have gotten a lot harder and more painful. It could be cause the newest wonder drug is not only not working but is hurting me, yet it's so strong that I can't just stop taking it. I have to wait till the doctors appointment tuesday to see what he thinks. Speaking of my doctor, I just noticed before I went to bed that I missed his offices call yesterday which is odd cause thats awfully soon after my tests to call. Then this morning they called again to go over results of the tests, I wish they would tell me over the phone but no I have to wait till tuesday at 2:30 to hear. Thats 5 and 1/2 days of not knowing, of wondering, of hoping for something to be found or rather for a simple end to all this. But thats to much to ask for I know so I just pray its something that can be fixed. 

Anywho, I was saying about support and what a huge help it is, it's amazing really how even the smallest note, or unexpected gesture can mean the HUGEST thing in the world to someone who deals with chronic pain and multiple other disorders. Yet, I never want to ask, for someone to bring me soup or that I need a cheering up, cause I feel so weird asking for anything, so I thought of something that may be extremely supportive and easy as pie to do. It wasn't actually my idea I admit, it was an idea that the people at DearThyroid suggested to do. 

So here it is support in the form of a sign up sheet, you can pick a date, and send an email, or card, or care package (can ask for address) or whatever you would want to do to show your support! Genius I think! So here is the answer to everyone's "let me know if theres anything I can do" This is what you can do, or rather what I would really appreciate.

Chicken Calzones

I wanted to do some kinda comfort food for dinner tonight but wasn't sure what to make. We had chicken in the freezer and barely veggies in the fridge, but I found a neat looking calzone recipe, and altered it to suite the ingredients I had. 

DOUGH:

1 pkg. active dry yeast (or 2 1/4 tsp.)

1 cup warm water (105-115 degrees)

1 T. sugar

2 T. olive oil

1 tsp. salt

3 1/4 cups flour

Dissolve yeast in warm water until foamy, about 10 minutes.  Stir in sugar, oil, salt, and 1 cup flour.  Beat until smooth. (I do this in my Kitchen Aid Mixer.)  Mix in remaining flour to make dough easy to handle.  Turn onto lightly floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes. (I let my Kitchen Aid do the kneading for me....same amount of time on speed 2).  Place in a greased bowl; turn greased side up.  Cover and let rise in a warm place until almost double, about 30 minutes.

I followed the recipe for dough but doubled it to make extra. Instead of following the BBQ part of the recipe I made a potato filling with: 

10 Potato's 1/2 red 1/2 yellow

1 Large onion

4 Cheese strings

1 Brocoli

Next I followed this red sauce recipe's direction except I found I didn't have a few ingredients so I altered this part also. 

Basic Red Sauce:

2 teaspoons olive oil

1/2 chopped yellow onion

1/2 teaspoon minced garlic

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon dried basil

1/4 teaspoon dried oregano

1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper 

16 ounces whole peeled tomatoes, broken into pieces, and their juices

16 ounces tomato sauce

4 teaspoons tomato paste

2/3 cup water

1/2 teaspoon sugar

In a medium pot, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onions, garlic, salt, basil, oregano, and pepper, and cook, stirring, until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes, tomato sauce, tomato paste, water, and sugar and stir well. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Lower the heat to medium-low and simmer, uncovered, until thickened and fragrant, 25 to 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Remove from the heat and keep warm until ready to use.

Yield: 3 cups

I didn't have oregano, black pepper, or olive oil. I substituted olive oil for vegetable oil and made the sauce exactly to the recipe above. 

Instructions: 

1. I put the chicken in the oven and cooked it

2. while the chicken was cooking, I boiled my yellow and red potato's and chopped up the onion and broccoli. The recipe calls for cheese but other than string cheese I didn't have any so i diced up the string cheese.

3. After the potato's were done I chopped them into smaller pieces and since I don't have a potato masher I improvised with a beater from my kitchen aid. After mashing the potato's I added milk and butter to them and continued until they were smooth. 

4. I added the chopped up broccoli, cheese, and 1/2 the onions to the mashed potato's and stirred it all together. 

5. I used the dough recipe above and mixed it together and set aside. 

6. I mixed together the marinara sauce in a small sauce pan.

7. By this time my chicken was finished cooking and so I diced and shredded my chicken into small bits. 

8. Separating the dough into 7 small balls I flatten each out into round disks on a large baking sheet and added two scopes of the potato mixture, then put as much shredded chicken on top as looked like would fit, and afterward added two teaspoons of marinara sauce. Folding the other half of the dough disk I pushed the edges together with a fork and continued this formula. 

9. Once the baking sheet was full, they were baked at 375 degrees for 25 minutes until golden brown.

These turned out to be a tasty treat! and now I'm glad I made extra because now I have a few freezer dinners for when my disorder causes me to be bedridden :)

Thyroid vs. College

Well this week has been a bit of a set back in health and school.

While I've been able to finish my first textbook and essay, I haven't been able to make it to classes do to pain worsening. So I sit in bed trying to read over notes and textbooks, but mainly I'm just trying to stay on track. My headache was bad monday, and worsened with each passing day. My neck and shoulders are so tender, and compared to the soft tissue damage from the car accident last sept. this pain is worse, and carries right down to my lower back. I'm not sure how much more I can take of this, I need support  to help me get by. Every part of my body is in throbbing pains, shooting pains and electric pulsing pains, it hurts even to type which is ridiculous.

Tuesday, when I saw my doctor he seemed worried that it's been getting worse. Last time I went in  he found something wrong with my shoulder tendon and this time apparently I have golf elbow, and tennis  wrist, Oh the terms they come up with for pain spots. The odd thing is I don't play tennis and it's snowing so there's no golfing to be done.  Any who he's thinking, prescribing, referring, sending me for blood tests, and ultrasounds, yet nothing shows up and I keep getting worse. To be honest, I'm afraid for how much worse it can get, before the doctors figure it out. The rest of the week my pains have progressed in their same worsening fashion, and I don't think these pills are working anymore.

As afraid as I am of the decline of my health, I also fear for my schooling slipping away from me, I don't want to let go of it and I really don't want teachers to worry, cause I know I can do the work. It brings me hope, cause it feels like it's all I have sometimes. It's what separates me from being sick at home all the time and still trying to manage and achieve things. I will take longer to get my counselling degree but I will push harder than others without illness to get it. Cause it makes me feel like I'm still getting somewhere, I'm still reaching my dreams. I just pray for a little grace and less pain to make it through. I wonder if anyone else feels like this?
