Wow -- you showed amazing self-control not to go off on such a rude person. I have no idea why someone felt they could talk to you that way. You are right -- country of origin is no reason for that bizarre lack of manners. I think she was trying purposefully to hurt you. Why, I have no idea. Maybe she is a sadist or maybe she has been hurt so much she thinks it is normal. She must be a very unhappy person. I am so sorry you had to endure treatment like that. Unbelievable! That is the sort of person that probably also pulls the wings off tiny flies and thinks it sporting.
I know all too well the toll a bad thyroid can take. Mine has been removed now and I still have problems trying to get meds right. I can gain 10 pounds in 2 weeks when my numbers are off. Then they adjust my meds and I manage to take 2-3 months to get it back off. Two more months and the cycle repeats. I have never lost all the weight I gained waiting to get a proper dx. Thyroid issues are the pits. What is worse, female hormone fluctuations will make the situation worse as they bind thyroid hormone and make it less useful in the body. It can be a very complicated balancing act! |
