I have been battling to accept the diagnosis of GP I received in July. I had fooled myself into believing I was OK. I have finally come to a point where I know I can no longer hide my head in the sand and must accept things as they are. A big step forward for someone like me who likes to control things. I think the turning point was that I had been complaining to my hairdresser for months that my hair was thinning rapidly which was surprising considering the thick hair I have always had. Reading the posts about others with the same problems was a real wake-up call. I too have gained 22 lbs in the last 9 months and have spent the last two weeks vomitting all that I eat although I had a good couple of weeks before that. The unpredictability of this disease is just so frustrating and confusing. I think the absolute fatigue is the worst though.
Thank you everyone for the support, information and understanding.
