My thyroid is being attacked by my body : ) It's a chronic thing and I gather very common. I'm also cross-fingers in remission from cancer oh ohhh and the osteoporosis thing from the cortisone or maybe just because. Also menopause that I'm pretty mellow with but men don't have that problem of course.
They tried their best Ian and I bet were just as uncomfortable with those pictures wishing they could offer more at the time instead of being in the gathering info mode.
the wounds might never heal but please don't shy away from exams to find wonderful other conditions now.
Life is so precious and gone just like that.
You will be a better nurse because of your experiences.
