You know what frustrates me the most is: the waiting! It's so boring, annoying and anxiety inducing. I think one reason I hate waiting for the referral is because I feel as if I cannot plan anything. Diagnosis of the pituitary problem requires lots of tests, which requires time and someone to drive me to the hospital. If it turns out that I do have this pituitary problem, I shall have to have...

Pup Sitting/Mum Away/Cold & Wintery

So, I am back writing away on this thing. I find it weirdly therapeutic; a relase!
Anyway, things are trundling along as they do. The pup sitting is progressing along. They are dear little doggies... I can't complain in that respect and I am getting a bit used to being on my own out in the middle of nowhere. I have been so very tired recently... another bout of the extreme exhaustion (not just...1 Recommendation3 Comments -

Last week, my husband was diagnosed with prostate cancer. The doctor said it is in the early stages, so he has to go see him Friday to find out what treatment options he has. Please say a prayer that they catch all the cancer.1 Recommendation5 Comments -

In May/June I went to see my GP as I was beginning to get concerned that things were not right with my health at all. For about hmmm... a year and a bit, I had begun to suspect that there might be something else wrong with me other than M.E. due to weird sensations and strange feelings I was getting.

My life has been over the top stressful lately. I received a brutal edit on chapter 1. The editor basically took a free hand at changing my work without respecting author voice. She made subjective changes that were unnecessary, illogical, inappropriate and wordy. When I confronted her, she gave illogical and evasive answers as to why she made the changes. The second time I discussed the matter w...2 Comments -

Since my stressful news on Tuesday 8th, I have been in a bit of shock. I shall write more about what happened at the hospital that day another time. Suffice to say, a no-nonsense letter was sent to my GP (I got a copy YAY) and I am now awaiting an Endo appointment. My battleaxe mother also got a copy of my 'normal' test results from the GP surgery so I have now found out that th...1 Recommendation3 Comments -

Today (actually this past week) I have felt so strongly that I am so tired of life. I am tired of fighting my health issues and the affect they have on my life. I hate my lack of independence and my financial worries. I hate that even when I realise what I could do with my life (e.g. go back to studying and train in counselling part time) I find myself blocked by the lack of energy, meaning I can...1 Recommendation5 Comments -

I am feeling very much more at peace now. I talked to my editor and he is okay with consulting me. I have learned a few things. It is good to have personal conversations and it is good to state your needs and show how meeting these needs would be best for all involved.
We didn't discuss every last detail, but we came to an overall understanding. I think I will outline other concerns I ha...2 Comments -

Man these new DS owners have really screwed with the site. It is so hard to even write a journal entry. I think I tried at least 15 times.
I have really leared a lot. For instance, I have learned that you had better be damm nice to counsellors that help you or they will let you go at the drop of a hat. It has happened several times now that I have expressed overt anger at a counsellor only ...1 Comment -

Yesterday, Barbara called and we went for a walk. Then we went to her house and she made me dinner. I had a good time, and I woke up happy knowing that I have a friend. I feel better. Also my period came as usual. Tomorrow, I will go swimming and things will be getting back to normal. It's too bad the plumbers are going to turn off the water in my bathroom while I am having my period. It is g...1 Comment

Androgenic Alopecia Information
Androgenic alopecia (also known as androgenetic alopecia or alopecia androgenetica) is a common form of hair loss in both men and women. The pattern of hair loss in women differs from male-pattern baldness. In women, the hair becomes thinner all over the head, and the hairline does not recede. Androgenetic alopecia in women rarely leads to total baldness.
A variety of genetic and environmental factors likely play a role in causing androgenetic alopecia. Although researchers are studying risk factors that may contribute to this condition, most of these factors remain unknown.
Researchers have determined that this form of hair loss is related to hormones called androgens, particularly an androgen called dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Androgens are important for normal male sexual development before birth and during puberty. Androgens also have other important functions in both males and females, such as regulating hair growth and sex drive.
