Medical Mystery

                                          

1966: I was 8 or 9 years old; I remember my feet being swollen. I use to wear knee socks so that it didn't show, even in the summer time. 

1957: 10 years old, feet still swollen, poochy stomach, shake after eating fruit, binge after eating sweets

1969: Developed very low voice.

1972: 15 years old, late puberty

1978 - 2002: Started an almost lifetime of severe anxiety and panic attacks. 

1979-1981: 22 years old,  Post-Pill Amenorrhea x18 months. Saw Dr. Iskander. Test results: Excessive male hormone [WTF? I'm a male fucking rabbit!] 

1982 - present: Stopped drinking. Staphylococcus aureus [boils] all the time.

1982: Have hormone panel done: [Different doctor] Deficiency TSH; given Synthroid. High levels of Testosterone, DHEA [stopped taking meds, no job, no insurance .. but then I worked at a fg lab until 1984. lol. omg -- free lab work]

1984 - 1986: Right after divorce, over production of adrenaline, weight loss. Then weight gain, fatigue, depression, puffy eyes, output issues, inability to process carbs & sugar. 

1985: Quit smoking. Shake after eating, hypoglycemia during and after 5k walks.

I'm thinking about that idiot, across from St. Joes, who told me to get a hysterectomy because I have bad pregnancies. REALLY? LOOK AT THE SHIT THAT'S BEEN WITH ME MY ENTIRE FG LIFE. OMG. More proof that BPD messed up.
