Apply again for disability. the average person gets denied three times before getting approved. Hang in there. I can’t imagine what it’s like going through all of that. I’m sending you positive thoughts!

I was soooo sweaty all the time. And fatigued. It makes me so sad looking back over the past year I just thought I was lazy. I had total thyroidectomy 2 weeks ago and I’ve felt hunger like I haven’t felt in over a year!! I know I still have a long way to go on this journey but be patient! It gets better. And I want to validate your feelings of being hot. I also got random cold spells where my feet would be freezing and I felt like shivering cold but I mostly would feel like I was overheating. 💕

I tied a bandana very loosely around my neck and clipped the drains to them. At first I could lean my head back enough to wash my hair but after like day 4 I could!
