I don’t worry about what you have to say, or anyone else. We’re all different. However, that doesn’t mean that I don’t value your advice. You don’t have to be involved in my sitch to have insight into it. That’s the value of this BB, and you’re a valuable friend.
I actually meant hypo rather than hyper. I’ve been doing some reading, and hypo is more common, and fits my W’s symptoms better.
It’s getting hard for me to “hang in there” ( yeah, like you didn’t notice ). The more I read, the more I suspect that W is suffering from some sort of hormonal depletion; whether it be thyroid, adrenals, or whatever. The problem is that I can’t approach her about it because she’ll see it as me wanting to ease my suffering. And it’s true, too. That’s part of it.
Will she figure it out on her own? I don’t know. I think her book is pretty clear that if you have symptoms, you have to tackle your emotional issues. It also seems to be clear that hormonal testing is important, and that if you’re deficient, you should do something about it. Not necessarily HRT, but diet, acupuncture, etc. etc. etc. But, she is tired of doctors. She’s spent a lot of time “being poked and prodded” (emotionally) when looking for help for our handicapped son. I just don’t know if she’d be willing to get poked again.
I think that I’ll have to approach her about it at some point (despite the warnings from Matilda and Lily). But, the way things are at the moment, it’ll have to wait.
