newbie I have been writing my own grants and self creating jobs the last several years. The stress of not being able to control my own environment…no chemicals etc and having to be diligent about educating others at work was exhausting. Having to work an someone else’s schedule ie mornings was awful.

I am working on my endo about thyroid connections. I too have nodules and some of my levels are okay and some not. I don’t think this Dr is going to be a good dr to problem solve with, but He is great at testing and looking for the outside the box connections..So I am getting information that I can hopefully take to my specialist.

I had an acupuncturist from China turn me down as a patient because she thought I would be too sensitive for the treatments..She wanted me to start treatment when I wasn’t flaring. My TB tests always look positive at first because of my ” prick me and I will get a wheal” tendencies..

Controlling the stress that comes at us is crucial. So hard with family. Sometimes distance is the only answer.
