In addition to losing my voice, my skin is so dried out the back of my hands look like aligator skin and they feel so rough they scratch normal skin. I lost the hair on my legs and none will grow there. The hair on my head is thinning and other areas have barely any hair at all.
I do talk too slow and I’m thinking too slow also. I am so tired almost all the time that I barely get off the couch these, although I still manage to do the dishes, the floors, and straighten up. Still it’s not enough for my family. They want me to go outside and take walks in the sunlight. They are convinced that’s all I need and that there’s nothing wrong with me. Sometimes they are downright cruel about it and yell at me and call me horrible names. They’ve said that they love me and are scared that I will die. They believe it’s all in my mind and that I can get better if I really wanted to.
I’m back on the pills now and have been for 10 days now. These pills work after they’ve built up in your body. This can take up to three or four months. I just have to take it day by day.
