Like Non-ending PMS
Like Non-ending PMS
I'm still waiting for my hormones to find balance. My doctor lowered my thyroid hormone supplement dose about three weeks ago and I'm still experiencing side affects which is a lot like having PMS.
Top that with my Achilles Tendon still aching and I'm officially depressed.
I attempted to run a quarter mile on the treadmill on Friday evening. It was so amazing to be running again. I felt like I could fly! I forced myself to stop at .25 miles, walked a little more and then stretched. Right after I still felt great.
I got called back to work to deal with a problem (too complicated to describe here) and ended up on my feet till midnight all the while my ankle started aching. I don't know if it was the short run or just the amount of time I was on my feet.
I left a message with my doctor but I don't think her receptionist is very good. She didn't relay an important question before my appointment and I don't think she'll relay this one either. I need a referral to have my ankle checked out so I can be back on my feet in time for the Grand Canyon Hike at the beginning of September! It brings tears to my eyes everytime I give it too much thought. (like now)
Not to mention when my co-workers teased me about not seeing me running the LA Marathon on tv. I broke out in tears yesterday morning at work when the first one teased me. My boss even made the joke but by then I was able to hold it together and tell him that I haven't been able to run in 10 weeks.
I've been trying to hide it. Tried sleeping it off by spending most of the weekend sleeping on my couch. I've been fighting it with laughs and smiles. I've been drowning it with fruits, veggies, coffee and chocolate. Tried some holistic teas. Even bought a hologram bracelet (efxusa dot com) at the LA Marathon Expo that I attended with a friend on Saturday, that is supposed to give you balance.
I just hope it goes away soon. I know that it would if I could run and cycle again. I just don't know how else to rid myself of this sadness.
