Life's Punching Bag

It's around 3:15 pm on Thursday 17 January 2013.

I recently got back from seeing my doctor.

Now it is Monday 11 February.  I started this blog post but then I became too upset to finish it.  Apparently it took me weeks before I could muster up the courage to talk about it.  I've had Graves disease for years and many of you know that.  I have the worst case Graves disease that my doctors have ever seen.  I can live with that...literally...I can, in fact, LIVE with that.  I can live a relatively long and somewhat healthy life as long as I stay on my massive doses of medications.  The things that bother me are the symptoms that I cannot control.  I have eye issues and weight issues that suck big time.  It's no fun at all being an actress, model and singer with self-esteem issues and then having real physical deformities added into the mix.  Every moment of each day is a struggle when I see people face-to-face and it's even painful to just look in the mirror.

Life was hard even before the 17th of January.  But on that particular doctor's visit, he told me that he thinks that I have a brain aneurysm.  I'm not sure if I can live with that.
