Sometimes it is comforting to know that you are not the only one with problems. And, when things aren't great, it's good to tell others how you feel.

I'm so sorry to hear that you're having more health problems. I have Graves disease which is an overactive thyroid. I took radioiodine to kill some of it and now I take Synthroid meds everyday of my life. An overactive thyroid can make you have anxiety. So, maybe that's why you also feel out of sorts. I'm the queen of auto immune diseases. I have 3!!! They run in my family. I passed it on to my son too. I hope you start feeling better soon. Sorry your cat is sick as well. That must be hard to give her a shot. My dog is old and now has a heart problem. So I have to give him medicine every day and put drops in his eyes since he has blindess and other eye issues. Pets are ALOT of work aren't they? My husband and I just discussed about not getting another pet for a while after something happens to ours. We are exhausted taking care of him!

Helps me to know I am not alone. I look at all the beautiful pictures of homes and gardens and projects and I think, oh gosh there really is something wrong with me. I can't do everything everyone else is doing. Then I read posts like yours and I realize we are all the same. Maybe different struggles but struggles none the less. We are humans doing the best we can. Thank you for sharing your reality. I hope you get feeling better soon.

I hope they can figure out a new med for you that doesn't mess with your thyroid function. Your thyroid controls everything, so it's no wonder you've been in a funk! Getting out for a little retail therapy does have therapeutic benefits, in my opinion. Just a little pick-me-up magazine or decorating fix does wonders!<br /><br />I still like old lady "granny chic" rugs and pillows and stools, and your three bears collection is wonderful! Or should I say 2 kitty collection? So glad your sweet little kitty is on the mend and I hope you feel better soon, Debra. We'll all be here when you're ready to break out the camera again. Take care.<br /><br />xo, VickieVickie @ Ranger 911https://www.blogger.com/profile/12847126296813987337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6448019025261796302.post-81555111437544571772017-02-25T07:32:23.737-06:002017-02-25T07:32:23.737-06:00Oh wow, health problems are the worst.

Glad they figured out...Well, this was a nice visit. Glad they figured out the hyper (I'm dx'd as hypo also). Anytime we're out of whack it's a wild ride, but it sounds like the anemia took first seat to any hyperactive effects you might have had with typical hyper (energywise). Hair falling out is what prompted me to go to my Dr. and her ordering my test me for thyroidism initially. I have a sister and niece with Hoshimoto's. I laughed out loud when you wrote how you said you did feel better when a white distressed rabbit jumped into your cart. I hope that feeling lasts. :) I hope your kitty continues with improved sugar readings. At least you're not in crisis mode on that front. <br />Call me Granny, but I love those needlepoint stools too. A slipcover would be nice just for the change. I like the idea of swapping with a sister. I should do that! I put 2 pieces in my car as I was reorganizing for all this chaos in my house - will take them to the antique mall.<br />As much as I'm loving this spring weather, I'm sure NOT ready to be outside and have to start yard work yet. Winter's the only time to relax and it's been so short (NOT complaining, Mother Nature, do you hear me?!).<br />Wishing you good health, Debra. I know from family members that chronic illness can be depressing. It sounds like you're coming out of any funk you may have slipped into. That's good. Have a great weekend.<br />Rita<br />Rita C at Panoplyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17351306074493103021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6448019025261796302.post-62349067226155156072017-02-24T16:14:58.241-06:002017-02-24T16:14:58.241-06:00So sorry that you are not feeling 100%.

I know first hand that there are times when a little diversion is the best therapy. I truly dread Vet Day for my kitties. They are like little scared monsters when they even think we are heading to the Vet. The Vet recommends putting out their carriers a few days in advance, but sorry, that doesn't work. I agree that tranquilizers for both of us is the answer! That little stool is adorable and I like the vintage look. I'm glad that you were able to do a little shopping and to write a wonderful post.
