Thanks for your good wishes. It has been too long sometimes I feel that I am closer, but it is too long, I had situations that I got out but not now it is like I would like to dissappear, I cannot be in contact with my siblings as I do not want them to see my weak, I can no longer share joy with them so there is no use and I know that it is a crime to fake my death. But thanks again

Sending you all of the positive vibes and warmth, that I can at this most difficult, and rough time for you @zuzu ~

Did they tell you what low cortisol levels mean? I always understood that cortisol is a stress hormone, so I would imagine low levels would be better. I have had an injection into my hip for pain relief, which was great but only lasts 3 months, and it comes with other costs that outweigh the benefits.

I am, however, not a doctor, but with most health indicators, there’s an okay range and a problem is diagnosed when the level is too low or too high.

Today I am feeling irritable. I am suppressing a strong urge to blow up at someone. I think that the current frustration is more about my inner state than it is about a given action on someone else’s part. I did my meditation this morning but I think I need to do some specific coping practice to get more chill.

@1964dodge thank you so much for your thoughtful words and prayer. I am feeling much better this morning. Gonna take a shower and start cooking a few nice treats for tonight. Mike I hope your Christmas is beautiful and that you and your wife and family enjoy every moment. 🎄

low cortisol means you are gonna be tired all time, it cant be compared with either. it just means despite medications, if you're on low side, you'll still be symptomatic and the high part is your heart rate. with steroids, it controls your heart otherwise without, if its too low, its gonna attack your vitals. im lucky too be alive from being low and hospitalised at the lowest three times.

i agree though, im discharged with steroids with an okay range even if im symptomatic otherwise my doctors won't release me and im stuck with an adrenal crisis. high just means you're aging usually so i dont deserve this too early.

 

[HappyKitty]

believe me i deserve to have emotions even if im basic, i get judge and compared with many times. i cant blame you.. just we cant wish anyone the worse. im happy to be alive many times and i dont need to be big to deserve help and support, i dont want to have cancer or whatsoever thats highest of all, the consequences is on you. I've seen other patient do it. I feel so sorry that patient can't get out of hospital for 3 months. there is such thing. dont wish others the worse. empathy is so rare.😹

 

[HappyKitty]

dont be bigger than you are

Feeling a little bit guilty. I volunteered to do the slides for the church to keep me busy and not lonely. Mission accomplished but the guy I replaced was lonely tonight which is why he volunteered. He showed up for last service because he was lonely. So I was selfish but Christmas Eve is basically over here.

no offense taken @LumberJack your opinion is heard, everyone is valid. just really rough cause I dont wanna be on steroids long term, I worry about my weight so much.

Merry christmas! 😸

Thank you for the explanation. I’m sorry you’re going through that. I really have no idea what my own values are, but the symptoms you describe are part of my mystery symptoms that medical professionals have not been able to identify a cause for. I wish I knew more about that condition, but I do want to wish you the best feasible outcome.

diagnosis takes time. while no one believe that you're struggling, be gentle with yourself too. dont give up😸it got me 5 years to finally been taken seriously. get many opinions while you can.
