Hi Karen
Sorry you're having such a crappy day. Doesn't it seem that when we can
least deal with the attitude is when we get it? Sounds like you should
do something for YOU, lay in a bubble bath with a good book, lounge in
bed with a book, something special you like to do that's just for you.
Your family may feel helpless and not able to do anything to help make
your pain go away; I know that's how my husband is - we joke that he's
my 'druggie' because bringing me T3 and juice is one thing he can do to
help. I hope tomorrow is better for you, Karen :)
Here's to painlessness for everyone!
luv, Amy
