Part of my aftermath problems is that I must take meds. to have my bodies'
glandular systerm work at a 50% level. The adrenal glands control stress,
emotions; etc. Well all of a sudden I would cry over the least thing. Now it
wasn't any silent tear's it was loud sobbing noises and pants and I would loose
my breath and gasp. Lordy, I should have been on stage. One day, I go to my
doctors and am sitting in his waiting room and in walks the peditrition that I
used to sit on boards with. He sat right next to me, said a pleasant hello and
BINGO, it all started. A crying jag like you wouldn't believe, it was so funny,
he tended to pretend he didn't notice this outburst, other people were changing
their seats, starring or looking away. The doctors nurse came and took me in for
blood work and then brought this doctor to sit down right next to me. I would
have loved to know what he was thinking? I was then taken to the examine room
and was able to compose myself. The doctor asked me three questions, the first
two I just spited out, the last, I couldn't remember the answer and I knew I
should have know the answer and BINGO , the wailing wall was right there. My
doctor took my hand, tried to comfort me and I just flooded the room, he then
held me for 45 mins. until I stopped crying. At the end of the exam he said I
should go visit a phys. Two or three days later he called telling me my thyroid
levels were low again ( that effects the adrenal glands and stress; etc.) and
increased my steroids. I believe the moral of the story is: We all have the
right to cry, it cleanses us, lifts the weight off of our shoulders and we start
anew. Now just hope that all my glandular levels are where they are supposed to
be when I get to N.Y., or I will have to be the entire show!!! LOL and none of
us want that.
