I’m trying to keep an open mind. If it’s not me, and it’s not hormones, what’s left? My W? I tend to think it’s a little of all of them, but we all know that there’s only one of these things that I can work on.
You’re right, rayanne. It’s hard not to take it personally.
I’ve heard a lot about hyperthyroid. Some posts on this thread as well as emails from DBers. I’m also wondering if W’s perimeno is a misdiagnosis. I can’t discuss it with W since she already told me that she considers this a very personal matter.
I guess that right now, I’m pinning my hopes on the possibility that as W educates herself, she’ll consider getting a complete set of hormone tests. At the same time, I’m hoping that my efforts to become a good H and friend will help bury the hurt (real or perceived) that I inflicted on her. Finally, I hope that I’ll have the strength not to hold my hurt against her.
