I have literally been fighting for my life for over two years now. Some things I was born with others just happened. My health history is a novel. I have surgeries monthly. I also lived with Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever and got a double dose with Lyme Disease added as well. I live with PLMD /RLS along with Graves Disease, Total Thyroidectomy in 2013, Aquired Hypothyroidism and now even without a Thyroid my Hyperthyroidism is trying to attack me again. My TSH is at 8.0.0.4 due to my pituitary gland not wanting to work right. (Let me explain my ovaries create T4 which is a horomone needed for anyone that understands Endocrinology and I don't have a Thyroid as stated above. Getting to that in a second.) I have already battled and fought Cervical Cancer once. Now I have Fibroids and some major wall thickening in my uteras along with Something that is causing bleeding inside of my uterus. (Another big word) My Medical Teams has been working around the clock, I go in for Pre-Op on August 12th, 2019 for a Major Surgery. Thing Is, With all my Comorbidities, I have to have a Cardiac Clearance. I also have seizures. I do have Autonomic Teams at Vanderbilt (Most know them, they also work with Mayo for us all to save lives and fight on behalf of is all for a cure for Dysautonomia related issues among other things.) I am beyond tired. I don't mind people showing empathy towards me, just not sympathy! I just recently lost my kids father March 8th, 2019. I tell you all this because I needed to get it all out. I fight for my life every day as well as most reading this does. If this helps one person, what I want you to know the most is "Someone Out There Gets You" & "I am that Someone" I do what I can to stay "positive but that makes me laugh alot. Because I always say "Oh, I am positive I am about to throat punch the next person who asks me about my pain scale!" Lol. I have alot more life threatening health issues, a Port In my Chest we would be here all day naming them all. I usually add "Pick one, blame it on that" because with my health? I know which one is acting up and when. I learned to listen to my body. I never turn my back on any of these conditions. In all seriousness, I use alot of humor, dark humor sometimes, alot of sarcasm. I could go on and on but I will leave you with this. "One day, you will have had enough, stay down as long as you need to, but when you rise up, you rise up as the whole damn fire!"
P.S. Dysautonomia Humor....
Doctor: "I have a Medical Degree, I know what I am talking about.
Me: "Cool, I know alot of people that have Drivers Liscense and cannot drive worth a shit, you're fired!"
