But it was a 'head thing' that had to simmer down and we sold or gave things away when it felt ok.<br /><br />When I was able to lift my head out of the grief cloud (some 2-3years later, even more maybe), I saw that I was placing a lot of symbolism onto material things/objects. Once I had reconciled in my heart that none of these objects <i>truly</i> represented my daughter and that the connection I had with her was beyond anything material, I was at peace with getting rid of them.<br /><br />Good luck, Julie xoxoBeing Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08600427311498297800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5202987832369481940.post-50917761299928855542010-08-09T15:00:05.944+10:002010-08-09T15:00:05.944+10:00P.S.

Kamikaze style sneaky grief is still with me, it just up and attacks for intense short periods. I am aware that I need to do something, I am considering getting his clothes and bunny rugs out for a memory quilt. I don't know what to do about the enormous box of in the shed which is filled with his things, including a brand new pram, car seat, rocker chair. I have this idea that I am running out of time. I don't think I can sell something like a dead babies pram, who would buy it? He obviously never used it. Its still too hard. I still need time. Do you think it will get any easier?Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04785702517380779595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5202987832369481940.post-1363465755560832492010-08-09T14:46:04.850+10:002010-08-09T14:46:04.850+10:00Hi Being Me, thanks for asking, yes I am feeling s...Hi Being Me, thanks for asking, yes I am feeling so much better. The foggy brain thing still happens but it's not as relentless. I started to lose weight as well because I was diagnosed with Diabetes and high blood pressure, and I am now minus 28kg. I can hardly believe it. I have worked really hard and I have at least 20kg to go but the changes in my physical body are amazing. I have lost 28kg in 21weeks. Some people have critisised me for doing it too fast, I think the thyroid medication helps, blood tests are not showing any abnormal levels, so I will just lose weight and be proud of my effort. I am looking forward to your book, sounds like its nearly there.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04785702517380779595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5202987832369481940.post-89446309707968996642010-08-09T08:25:15.164+10:002010-08-09T08:25:15.164+10:00Julie, how are you?

Obviously my foggy brain couldn't hold all the facts together and I got the Hoshimoto's thing wrong. Sorry to mislead and thanks to Mrs Ramirez for putting me straight.

What happens is your body makes antibodies that attacks the thyroid. Eventually they will kill off the thyroid. It does not have anything to do with treating or not treating hypothyroidism. Chances are if you had the test run for the antibodies you would have them too. I am so sorry that you do not feel well. I understand completely. It is a horrible disease to have. You look normal. You're not dying from it, so people expect you to act normal. Many people think that you are just lazy because you have no energy. They don't understand how if affects your body. I pray that being on the meds will help you. This past year I switched over to a natural form called Armour Thyroid and I feel like it has done wonders for me. It will take time, but you should notice a difference in energy levels within just a few weeks. As for the other symptoms it should help but for me it never really takes them away. <br />As for the lump on your finger I actually used to get those too. I really do feel like they are related to the disease, but after a few months of being on medication mine went away. I hope the same for you too.<br /><br />Good luck and if you ned to talk feel free to contact me.<br /><br />((HUGS))Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02466314202781292317noreply@blogger.com
