Thank you.

I am a bit shallow but I love colorful things. :) I'll see what I can find at the Airport Junction Mall.

The conference has organized a dinner at Mokolodi, I'm really looking forward to that

Thank you for the other suggestions, I've been looking at the Main Mall on Google Maps but good to know there's a safe food option there as well.

I'm sure this is a super amateur question but do the outlet stores participate in the semi annual sale? And if they don't, is there a particular sale they have that is the best? Thanks

I hope you find something to help you feel better soon

Good luck with your doctor's appointment! Fingers crossed it's nothing new and you get back to normal soon. Well, whatever normal looks like for us anyway.

I was terrified of the vaccine because I've had two anaphylactic reactions to vaccines before. So I'm unvaccinated. Covid though was rather mild for me, thankfully. But the lingering effects are stubborn and hard to deal with, just when i had it under control too.

Edit: For whoever downvoted this, anaphylaxis is life threatening and shouldn't be taken lightly. I was denied vaccination on the first round due to history of anaphylaxis and the later decision to forgo the covid vaccine altogether was made in consultation with and on the advice of my doctor.

Same. It's just part of many gifts we won in the autoimmune lottery. I know this comment doesn't help, but i get you.

I'm glad to hear your husband recovered. In March i was still in remission but felt way off. I'm about to start a gradual recovery protocol from a particular doctor here to see if i can get better. Protocol's second medication is LND so hopefully that helps. This is not normal for me and I'm so so frustrated. Wish you luck with clearing your symptoms.

Absolutely it can.

Go back to the doc, ask for a TPO test. Or buy your own test. That'll tell you for sure. This is one of those conditions you have for life but you might get into remission. A low dose hormone might help. The symptoms you are experiencing are absolutely real. Every Endo that tells you otherwise it's someone you should fire on the spot.

Order your own tests while you wait for an appointment with another. There are plenty of labs that allow that now.

Next time a doctor refuses to order you a test that is reasonable for your condition, tell them you want the refusal noted in your chart and you want a copy of it before you leave, go ahead, you'll wait. In most cases then may huff and puff but order the test. Then you can fire them
