My oral surgery for the removal of two teeth is scheduled for August 3 (read the above linked posts for the backstory). I go back to work on August 6. At the beginning of any school year, I have a moderate autoimmune flare. There is nothing I can do to avoid it. The change in schedule and stress of getting back to work causes my thyroid to shut down temporarily, and this results in me not feeling that great for up to two months. I repeat this process every year.
The biggest problem is actually the brain fog and not anything else. I can say and do some dumb things at times. I hate it when I say something really stupid due to confusion, and then a couple minutes later I am chagrined after I realize what I said. This is why I am quite open about my condition, since it causes me to look like a fool at times.With the oral surgery just three days before I go back, I am certain that I will have a strong autoimmune flare this year. That will result in a lot of brain fog and my two-month recovery time being a very difficult and dysfunctional experience.
