What’s wrong with me?

To be honest I have gone over this blog in my head and how to put it down. So let me try to the best way that I can.

I have always had an odd medical history. However I never knew how bad until the 2000. I have always worked, since I was 16. Things took a turn for the worse, in 2010.

While I was working for an EMS department my thyroid took a nasty turn as well as my menstrual cycle too. After many doctors , I was just set on life being bloody. (No pun intended) Also had a thyroid surgery which I was told the doctor took all of it it out.

Flash forward to 2019. I developed a cyst near my anus. I went to the ED because it had erupted as well as increased pain. I was told I needed surgery because it wasn’t a cyst it was a tumor.

That point started the crippling medical issues. Because of the study of my colon they found out I was having uterus issues. They ran multiple test. Well in August of 2019 I had a massive surgery. I had a full hysterectomy and a partial colon resect. I was in the hospital for about a month. I ran into different complications. All this from endometrial cancer and colon cancer. They later did a genetic test and found out I have Cowden Syndrome.

Well after an ileostomy bag for a year . Now we battled breast tumors, and more tumors on my thyroid.

The battle of the day now is my head. On my left side the ENT found out there was a hole found behind my ear. They found this to be a possible cause of the Migraines, and dizziness. In November 2021 I had to have brain surgery to close the hole in my head. A metal net and four screws and a week in the hospital was my reward. During the surgery they had to cut some of the dead brain tissue away. The next surgery will be on the right side. I have another hole in my head.

I am also being watched with thyroid, skin and colon, and breast. The dizziness and the balance issues with the brain. Having pain in the nerves. I take multiple pain pills. Suffering from PTSD and massive depression, is now my new norm. I am also working on getting my Service dog trained with what money and energy I can do.
