Sent: 7/27/2007 12:04 AM Hey all, For some reason I can reply to posts but
can't start a new discussion. I apologize that this is off the subject. I saw
my endo yesterday, we were to discuss whether or not I could go back to work. I
have a job offer. My unemployment runs out in two weeks, and I made an appt. to
see about getting on disability, I am so run down, I just don't think I'm ready
to work yet. My endo said all my labs came back good. My IGF is a bit elevated.
which surprised him, I'm on a really low dose. I asked him for his opionion
about me working. His comments to me were a bit surprising. He said people
with panhypopituitarism can work and lead normal lifes! There is no reason that
I should be feeling the way I do, because I'm on all the right meds and my labs
came back good. So he basically will not back me up for disability. I told him
all the symptoms I'm still having and how I feel. He said "you should be
feeling fine" So I guess it's all in my head. When I first started the GH he
said it could take 6 months to a year before I feel better. Now It's a
different tune. He thinks I feel so bad cuz I don't get good sleep at night,
and he wants me to have a sleep study done. I had one four years ago, I don't
have sleep apnea. Well I don't get good sleep cuz my muscles and joints hurt so
damn bad. So basically I accepted the job offer, I start on the 6th. I have
two more weeks of unemployment. (which the money I got was enough to cover all
my prescriptions for the month) I'm crossing my fingers it goes well. I do
need the money at this point. I told him I was lacking confidence because of
the brain fogginess, and the fact that I need to nap two to three times a day.
I'm scared of getting fired from this job. I already had that happen in
January. I don't need another one on my resume. I do know that it is a low
stress office, so that is good. I'm just really scared and feeling pressured to
do this before I'm really ready. I'm really disappointed in my endo, I have
been seeing him for yrs. but my last two visits I have left feeling irritated
at him. He seems bothered when I ask questions, and he really seemed like I was
asking for the moon when I asked him if I should work or not. He said "are you
asking me to make up your mind for you?" I said " you are the doctor, you know
more about this condition, I'm asking for your opinion!" So all you panhypo's
out there, just know that no matter what, we should all feel good and be more
than able to work! Sheesh! Sorry this is so long, I'm babbling, but I am
frustrated! Maybe it's time for a new endo. Thanks for reading my story. Keep
your chins up, and god bless all of you Melissa
