Is the PT able to give you exercises that you can do at home? I find that if I don't move or stretch for a couple of days my body takes revenge, so maybe a short program you can follow regularly yourself might be helpful?<br />Wishing you all the best with your immigration status - we need to put up a YLF bat signal to find a rich, good-looking, kind American citizen to marry you so you can spend more time here on the forum </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/health-and-other-updates#post-1414042 Sun, 21 Dec 2014 06:02:02 +0000 SarahTheWhite 1414042@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm so glad for the good news on the scans, but sorry for the continued pain...

I have been thinking of you and missing you. You may have seen Sveta's dancing posts -- every time she would post an outfit or question I would think of you.&nbsp;</p> <p>I'm so very relieved that your cancer is clear and you are doing better. I hope there will be a solution to the pain and also the thyroid situation; I understand that it may take a bit of time for it to come back into balance.&nbsp;</p> <p>I wish you luck with the big challenges ahead! And I hope you will pop in when you are able. You know we always love to see your outfits and you do not need to show something new to show something fab! :)&nbsp;</p> <p>Hugs to you, my taupey style sister.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/health-and-other-updates#post-1411469 Mon, 15 Dec 2014 19:46:35 +0000 deb 1411469@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yea for the good health news!!

Good luck with these, and look forward to seeing you around here sometimes. Just pick your threads to read:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/health-and-other-updates#post-1411401 Mon, 15 Dec 2014 18:00:32 +0000 Janet 1411401@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tanya, I'm so glad the scans are all clear, and I hope the thyroid issue gets sorted out. From what I understand, it can take a bit of trial and error, and time, to get your body in balance. I'm so happy for you that you're dancing again! </p> <p>I'm also wishing you the best of luck on the immigration matter. You have so much to deal with right now! You're wise to tackle one thing at a time, and pull back other priorities. </p> <p>Let me know if you'd like to get a YLF group together for lunch or dinner (no shopping temptation!) after the holidays -- I'll treat you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/health-and-other-updates#post-1411390 Mon, 15 Dec 2014 17:50:28 +0000 Tanya 1411390@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hello my dear ladies, and apologies for being MIA in the past 4-6 weeks.&nbsp; Life has gotten very busy: millions of doctors appointments, work, and dancing, so I have had zero free time.&nbsp; I am currently at home sick with a nasty cold, which has bothered me for the past 5 or so days. </p> <p>I have had lots of scans in the past couple of ways as it was one year from end of treatment for the tonsil cancer.&nbsp; PET, CT, neck ultrasound - everything has come clear and I can not describe how relieved I am about that. &nbsp; On the other hand, my thyroid hormone levels are still not right and I am still ridiculously tired all the time.&nbsp; My endocrinologist is still working on finding the right thyroid hormone replacement dose.&nbsp; I have been going to gazillions of physical therapy and acupuncture appointments for&nbsp; the neck pain&nbsp; in the past 6 months, and I am afraid they haven't helped much.&nbsp; PT helps some, but as&nbsp; as I stop going it reverts to the old condition. At this point I have decided to stop these come NY as they take so much time yet do not seem to help much.</p> <p>My work/immigration situation has also gotten complicated.&nbsp; I am entering my last year on work (H1B) visa soon and basically have to apply for and get a green card by the beginning of 2016.&nbsp; Since I have to do a self-petition this is lots of work and even more money because I will have to hire an immigration lawyer, which are very expensive.&nbsp; I do not have that kind of money, my health bills have left me in incredibly difficult financial situation, so I have had to apply for a loan from a bank. I did get it, but the monthly payment my finances are about to become even worse. </p> <p>With me dancing again, which is excellent both for my health and mental state, the finances are as bad as they have ever been.&nbsp; Which if course leads&nbsp; to almost no shopping or any other un-needed cost for a long, long time.&nbsp; So, no new clothes in 2015, which should be fine - I have shopped so much in 2014 (most of it emotional ) that I do not really need anything and my wardrobe is an excellent condition.&nbsp; However, this will make my participation here on YLF much smaller, because, as an early adopter, there would be too much temptation for me.&nbsp; I will still read and post a little from time to time, but nothing regular.&nbsp; Between work on the green card, research (which I really need to catch up on) and dancing, I will not have much free time. And I need to stay away from temptations&nbsp; and remember the big goals I am working towards</p> <p>Hope everyone is doing well and wish you all happy holidays!</p> <p> </p>
