Good to hear he's getting treated!

Me too! His GP doctor is great, don't get me wrong, but hormone issues are not his specialty.

Oh, EXCELLENT!! There's often a month-plus wait to see an endocrinologist, so that was a real stroke of luck :)

So glad that he's getting better treatment now, and I hope it makes a significant positive difference!!

*hugs to you both*

Timing! It was amazing. The doctor primarily works out of a town 30 miles away, but is in the neighboring town about two days a month. Yesterday was one of them, and there was a slot open!

Though between this and other medical appointments, the poor Angel now has had or will have 5 medical appointments in a 4 day span (ending Friday). When one is already exhausted, this is not good. However, productive.

*HUGS* Hope you are all right - you've been quiet lately and I've been worried one of your horrific headaches is making your life miserable, or your rib is worse.

"5 medical appointments in a 4 day span" -- oh, man, I know those feels :/

Really hope this is the difficult-but-necessary first step to making some serious progress, though <3

*hugsback* Thank you, sweetie <3

I'm . . . kind of up and down emotionally, there's been relationship stuff going on, which could also be described as difficult-but-necessary, I guess. We're moving in a better direction, but it's exhausting and takes up all my spoons.

My right-side rib did eventually pop back in (the "usual" lower-left one made a break for it yesterday, but I managed to get it to stay in), although my back is still kind of a mess as a result. It will be okay, though.

I should maybe go to the chiro today, since the weekend is coming up and she closes at 1:30 every day, but . . . honestly can't muster the energy. Josh is out of town for five days, as of this morning, and . . . yeah.

*squish*

You really do have a lot going on. Take care of yourself, get rest, and creative time and time with the kitties. LJ will be around when you have the spoons.

Yay!

(I still have in my draft files, a very long and increasingly detailed 'how to deal with ongoing exhaustion' which I am trying to finish again now I'm done travelling, but we'll see how far I get. I keep finding more things to talk about.)

Thank you for your help and suggestions. I did go back through the Salon posts - there is a LOT of good info there. And your Care and Feeding of a Jenett posts are very helpful as examples of someone who had worked what they can and can't do - that's something the Angel is working on.

I do hope you are able to get that post up sometime - I think a lot of people would find it useful. But I am not at all surprised that it is getting long!
