The ER visit

Well, after feeling like crap for six weeks anyway due to an ear infection, I thought I was finally at the end last night. Not only did I have a great migraine starting, but my heart felt like it was about to jump out of my body! At the ER, my blood pressure was pretty high for me, and they find out that I had low potassium. So now the potassium they have me on is giving me pretty intense stomach pain, but I must try my hardest to ignore it and keep on going. I wish my husband could understand. Is there something wrong with me just about every day? Yes, so live with it. I have to. Since I was 13 and first diagnosed with Hashimoto's Thyroidism, things have only gone done hill from there. Does he truly think I want to be sit on the sidelines of life while watching everyone else enjoying it? For Pete's Sakes! I have to chose what I am going to do with each small chunk of energy I have as it is, let alone hoping those around me can be sympathetic and understanding. What would be even nicer is if those people around me could be helpful, but since I don't have a broken bone sticking out of my face, I must be fine. UGGGG! Enough about the negative, this blog was to help me find the positive and try to get my life back. I did walk the other day to pick up my son from preschool, so that is a start. And instead of focusing on cutting back all my Pepsi, I will first start on making sure I am drinking enough water. Eventually, the Pepsi will taste gross as it is already starting to. So my small steps this week may have paid off, if I didn't end up in the ER last night crying like a baby and thinking I was about to die. At least that is over, and they do not think it was from the change in my thyroid medicine, so there is still hope that this different drug, at a higher dose, will help with the thyroid. Now to just figure out how to get my potassium up, since they told me I could not eat enough bananas to do the job myself. . .
