I shall SHALL continue to fight. I need my me time to put my head in the right frame of mind.
I will CARRY ON.

I’m leaving my job at the end of the week and it’s scary . It’s scary and sad how abusive the work environment has become since I started working there two kids and three surgeries ago. It’s also frightening how I did not realize how hellish it had become till I was on medical leave. Now I’m doing my two weeks. I’m back to drinking which I had not felt the urge to do the entire time I wasn’t working. It’s taking time to emotionally disentangle like an abusive boyfriend. But thank god the process has begun this is a scary but hopeful time

I too have cowden syndrome and many a time
I think why me.ive had 3 operations on thyroid.1 to take a sample, the other to remove half and then 3rd total thyroidectomy at 30 was when it wrapped around my airpipes in a dangerous way and had to come out. It was stopping me breathing.

I had lost my mum to cancer and was adamant if ever i had children id get regular mammograms so my children could have a mum around.at 42 cancer was found..I had a mastectomy and reconstruction.3 months later i had a reconstruction on other breast and chemotherapy which i hated as was sick as a dog.
It took 1 yr to get the results from a blood test as i asked for regular mammograms at 40.

I was put on tamoxifen. My periods started to play up.
Had to have polyps removed on and off for a few years till i had a prophylactic hysterectomy. At 50 i decided i wanted my left breast gone.i had a feeling.mammograms were clear but a grade 1 lobular cancer was found.

Colon is being monitored as is kidney where they found a mark as an incidental finding. 2 sites on the 'cowden list'.

I have had other thimgs to contend with unrelated to cowdens but this is something that always stay with me. I keep myself to myself and dont talk about cowdens with people who dont know me well. I have days the fight gets me down.grappling with thyroid tiredness and carrying on can be overwhelming but i try.

To anyone who has a rare disease, dont let anyone stare at you.we are unique.and for some reason , ive been picked.

We can not change the people around us. The idiots, biggots, judge mental types , the ablelists the know it all’s. What we can do is enhance ourselves to be the best version of ourselves we can on any given day. It won’t always be the same. But if we try to carve out a space within ourselves to be more accepting of ourselves and others kinder, gentler, sweeter we may be able to cope with the monumental challenges we have been dealt. Personally it’s hard. It’s really hard. I’m a mom, I’m overweight and overworked and overwhelmed. I’m dealing with my own health and my demons of pains past. I’m caring for a child with special needs and my husband is a dear but has.. well it’s a long story.
I want to try to .... thanks for listening #Chatspace #nojudgement #Kindness #Selfcare #gentle

Ok.. so a young man and young woman choose to get married. They are setting up their first apartment and preparing for a wedding. How much does an engagement ring cost. Please specify if this is with the cost of the stone or just the setting.. cause I’m freaking out here just a little

Does anyone have experience using Effexor for hormonal craziness? Or any positive experience with Effexor? Looking for encouragement

My mother in law called to ask how I’m doing post operatively. I thought hubby had told her what the surgery was. He hadn’t. I did. And she low key freaked out. Then I had to comfort her. Strange turn of events
