I am so discouraged


Posted: Jun 11, 2016

Boy, I am sure discouraged and I am so itchy today I think I will go mad. Went to my allergist and she said I don't have hives (I am not convinced if you would see my ankles and feet and legs I do no have hives). She said I have neurogenic dermatitis which is a fancy name for eczema. Fat chance. So still no treatment. The longer this goes on, the more worried I get that they will let this go till I really have a serious problem with my feet and legs and can't walk or something. Honestly, I am so beyond discouraged. I go back to my regular doctor on Tuesday. I want him to do a bnp on me and if it is okay, I want some prednisone for these hives. I also want him to do all kinds of tests on my thyroid. I have heard you can have a normal thyroid test and still have hypothyroidism. My mother had hypothyroidism, so if it is hereditary I most certainly will have it. I got in the wrong line for genes. I have every single awful medical problem my ancestors had. Seriously, please pray that someone listens to me and finally sees something they can treat. Today I am itching and having stinging pains in my legs, arms and nearly all over. ;

Sorry about your medical problems. I can relate - I have several myself...

I'm sure from the result of stress from this humiliating "career" I have chosen.

But I think you really have to be the squeaky wheel to get anything done with some doctors. That is what I would do....MAKE them give you the tests you want. Keep going back. Good luck.

I am an MT with 5 years experience.  I am still employed, but did not have work in weeks (apparently because it is slow).  I have been looking for different MT jobs, but after all the resumes I have sent I still did not get any responces back.  I am so discouraged.  I am starting to think I should have chosen a different career.  I know I am good at what I do. I just want to know why it is so hard to get work.  ...
