Good Morning Everyone. - ( and also everyone ahead in time changes:)

Just dropping a WEEKEND POST wondering if anyone has special plans going on this weekend and want to share??

I am painting......... ARGH!!!

Hope everyone is doing well.  I have been very busy putting everything back in check since I feel really well. I still have some liver tests to wrap up. Sounds like my liver is a bit sluggish from being so ill for such a long time.

I hope everyone can check in here to visit to tell the forum what's going on. Also any new members:::: Please get on board too. We are always happy to meet you all too. :)

Everyone have a blessed Friday and hope to hear from many.

Take Care, - N-

KEWL .. Our inspirational Stella is BACK!!!!  Doing the Happy Dance on Thyroid!!!!!

HUGE wrestling match for my son on Sunday.  A Mommy brag moment -- he qualified for the States Tournament and will be competing.  The amazing part of all this, is that he is a first year wrestler and has come out of the gate amazing this season!   I'm not sure who is more nervous .. mom or my son ... hint:  I think it's me!

My Vit D is doing terrfic and I am feeling almost back to normal on 100,000 iu's per week with a retest in another few weeks. It was like magic that 48hrs after the upped dosing, my symptoms disappeared!

YEAH!

On 75 / 50 mcg Synthroid alternating dosing and I still say that I get brain fog/word retrieval issues even every other day so I think I'm going to spread it out 50, 50, 75 and see what happens then.  They retest along with Vit D and Thyroglobulins and Thy in about 3 weeks.

My mole doc hasn't called .. they only call with bad news. It's been 11 days so hoping all is ok .. they say if no hearing from them in 14 days assume it's benign.  I'll call anyway .. I don't like assuming anything.

Happy Friday Everyone!  I'm just winding down from spring break.  Sonny Boy came home from college for the week.  Sure was good to have him here.  I have to send him back Sunday.

I'm doing well on Levoxyl.  No shakes yet.  I really can't tell if I'm normal, hyper, or hypo.
Only the blood test will tell.  

I slept through the alarm clock this morning!  I can't remember the last time that happened.  Sleep is good and I've been craving it sooo much.

I'm making the most of our lovely warm weather, and knowing that our daylight savings will come to an end in two weeks. Days are getting dark now at around 7.30pm...gone are the days when I would stay out gardening,  ..(read..digging trenches!) till 9pm...sigh...
I hate the short days and get quite depressed during winter...hence why I booked my ticket to go back to USA in August...yes, I know your days start getting shorter around then too but for me it'll be bliss...and will keep me going through our winter months..something to look forward to.
   Anyways..my plan this weekend is to meditate... on how lucky I was to escape those bushfires....the smell of smoke still wafts through on our evening air...my clothes still stink of it....
  I am helping my step mother to do more exersise and for her to lose weight.. I am now down to my goal weight and trying to keep my fitness up and she's jealous...and a male friend I know here in town has borrowed my stationary exersise bike...he too is jealous I lost so much  weight...I feel like  I have such power!!
  So that's it for me..meditate and kick flabby butt! Hee hee

Good morning everyone!  :-)  Not feeling so great, very very very tired.  Plan on sleeping this weekend.  Go my blood drawn on Wednesday though so hopefully there will be news as to where to go from here.  Have a great weekend everyone!

I am too tired to do anything!  I see my new doctor in one week and will tell him that I am having much problems on the synthroid and that something somewhere is definately off.
In the meantime, I have read a book this week called "Midnight's Children" by Salman Rushdie.  If you haven't read, it is an excellent book about human nature and the powers of socioeconomics on human behaviors.  (It is actually a regular novel, but I tend to theorize everything)

I plan on taking a one day trip to the mountains and doing some more reading on a new book I bought last night.  Maybe I will do some photography, but I am usually too tired for that these days.

Hello to all and a TGIF. I've been very ill with some kind of stomach virus for the past 3 days. Haven't been able to eat solid foods at all, so my doc has now asked me to drink Ensure to make sure I get some kind of calorie intake.
My son has a karate tournament this Sunday so I am praying for the strength to be able to watch him. C I wish your son good luck for this match on Sunday too!
I will be going for my Thyroglobulin and TSH blood work in about a week or so, I go see the Endo mid April. Take care.

Welcome back Stella and Happy Friday to everyone.  

I saw my endo on Tues.  He was happy with all my blood work, though I'm not sure everything is still as it should be.  I do feel so much better on the levothyroxine and cytomel - like a whole different person, but still get tired real easy.  But then I guess my schedule has something to do with that also - not to mention the many interruptions to my sleep every night.  

I also saw my pcp this week - he sort of admitted that he made some "goofs" - my how satisfying it was to see him squirm after being so arrogant back in Dec!!  

I had taken some time off the "weight loss" battle, because I was fighting such a losing battle until I got the thyroid issue on a more even keel, so am now getting ready to get back to the work outs, etc on a regular basis.  At least, I've managed to keep eating right so didn't gain anymore even if I didn't lose any either.  I think I need redheadaussie to come kick some flabby butt.  Would sure like to know your secret of getting to goal weight!!

Well I am coming in a little late today after a loooong day of slaving! We had a roof repair to do and it ended up being major work and clean up. Had to tear apart entire lanai and then clean everything!
ALso am having a new central air unit being put in and they are still here this late doing the duct work. I had MAJOR black mold just caked in my old unit and imagine how bad it was circulating through my home. YIKES!  I think I had sick building syndrome going and its probably why my daughter started having asthma symptoms and my asthma returned after 15 yrs of freedom. Maybe we will no longer have breathing and sinus issues! lol
Soooooo busy weekend! I am beat!!!!

Glad to see all the new people coming in!! Yeah!!! Everyone be sure to give a welcome and a hello....even if you don't have an answer for them. :)

Well - I am here and the countdown to home ownership is starting. 2 months and I should be in my new home that is double the size of my tiny rent house.  Love the new house, Its my bro-in-laws so I know it well.... they are trading up for an even bigger house.  We will have a pool so the skip of summer vacation in order to buy it won't be bad.

I still feel pretty bad but noticed this week that the "badness" came with a late cycle.  Even had a real anxiety attack while trying to park at the courthouse! ARG!  I feel a smidge better today since the "girl cycle" came, but, 2 weeks later than expected.  Oh the woes of being a woman! Have another ENT appointment mid April and another mammo in June.  Man, still can't get away from doctors.  Oh well - the glass of wine made it all better! :) *wink*

well, my plans got debunked.

My son ( the adult??) never returned to an eye doctor appt 10 mths ago. He was having cloudy vision and wanted contacts for prom. The doctor examined his eyes, gave him the contacts and told him to come back in a week if the cloudy vision was still a problem.

It was and got worse.

He finally went back and his retina is pulling away from the back of his eye. Immediately we were sent to a specialist in Milwaukee and I really feared he was going to have emergency surgery right then and there.

He will be having the surgery next week Tuesday. I am too tired to start a big painting job and deal with this now.

Always something..............
