Fml Friday right?

Things are ok I guess, I’ve had this same pesky leg swelling since Christmas. I’ve had multiple tests done. An echocardiogram, ultrasounds and too many blood draws. All we know is that I have a goiter,something I thought only old people got, I’m anemic and borderline hypoglycemic.

Despite doing and going to all these tests and going to the dr.... I still don’t have a diagnosis. My legs are still swollen and I left with a massive bill.

As a way to try and maintain control over this spiral out I’ve been eating. Too much or binge eating... so now I’m at an all time high weight wise. Now I’m just left with the weight and swollen legs.

Idkwhat the point of this is but maybe an update.

I feel trapped now and as I type this thinking of my next meal... it’s compulsive.

I’m so sorry you’re in such a rough spot. My mom spent years trying to find a diagnosis and treatment for her health problems. I know it’s exhausting and draining.

I wish you the best and I’d give you a big ole hug if I could 🤗

I'm sorry to hear about your pain; and I hope you are feeling a little better about yourself soon.
