INSOMNIACS place to talk in the wee hours

 Hi, needed a break, the whole thyroid issue, Robin Williams, and Bluebird ----things just got to me . I took a brain break. I must of played hundreds of solitaire games. But now have started to swim again. YAY. AND my PCP as of today is running the show on the thyroid. She ordered all the tests the "Stop The Thyroid Madness" ( STTM) web site and book recommended. Also, started me on NP thyroid(Armour)--Porcine.

The craziness on this is, I used the web sites doc locator. The closest doc was 50 plus miles away. I took a chance and talked to her this morning -----she was right on board-----ANOTHER YAY> heavy weight lifted b/c my insurance would have never covered the other guy and the labs.

I Hurt BOTH shoulders last fall.... FALLING. I call them dog falls. i.e falling directly over the dogs...... or falling on or in something from the dogs. One fall was a small hole in the ground outside that grass had covered. That was really stupid b/c I bought top soil to fill the hole That took out one shoulder. Shortly after that, we had some rain bands come. They are different than regular storms. They just happen without warning. Both dogs ran through the door drenched. Wet floor. I turned and both feet went out from under me. That took out the other shoulder. Very limited range of motion in both arms for months. BUT now I'm back in full swing. Literally b/c I have to do the backstroke b/c of a bum neck.

Things are looking up YAY YAY YAY. But still missing Bluebird and Robin. They are sorely missed. God bless them both.

Many here have thyroid issues too. My conclusion after these past 2 years is orthodox docs have no clue how the body functions in relationship to thyroid. Highly suggest looking at the web site and getting the book. My cost on AMAZON was about 24.00$. BTW when I said that to my PCP about docs not having a clue...her response was "I agree" I hugged her.

Please, review the history on thyroid care on STTM. Puts a whole different historical perspective on what we have gone through. Has oodles to do with auto- immune diseases, cancer, pain, musculoskeletal problems. My Endocrin doc and I have parted ways--permanently.

Going to catch up on reading------WHAT'S UP-----THERE'S ONLY FIVE PAGES i'VE MISSED! Are you guys sick or something? L&H&P's sassy

Paws, Thanks, and thanks for fostering.

Chevy that link is a hoot A friend once brought her chihauha & maltese mix here--around 5 Lbs. Schatzi-75 Lbs, tried so hard to make herself SMALL, by getting to ground level. Wish I'd had it on tape. Have NO idea what Dini would do? But I think after a year here, he would do the same.:)

Still answering PM's and checking in on housekeeping threads. Haven't looked yet at OUR thread. Bless you all.

Cami-------Whats your take on this?

Okay Chevy gottcha babe--------name the date-------we are there.  Would love to have you for an over night here. The invitation is open. Your DD and you. Spookie's been here. She knows the way. It's always amazing what we can pack into an overnight visit. It's so much better than a lunch. Way better. But if all we get is a lunch------WE WILL take that in a heart beat. 

The video was wonderful. Must research origins of Amazing Grace--------it's beauty rivals all. Thanks

What's with Cami's computer priveleges?
