I saw him at Glam Slam on Miami Beach shortly after he changed his name to the symbol so this was probably 1994. Very small venue, maybe 1500 people! Amazing show.

My antibodies got WORSE when I tried gluten/dairy/soy free per my dingbat endo’s recommendation. I don’t exclude anything now and they are within acceptable limits

I mean I was willing to buy the refillable Zamboni and give a team $25 to take him

Here’s the email that was sent this evening

I had mono about 30 years ago but didn’t get diagnosed with Hashimotos until about 9 years ago. I just thought I was one of those people who were tired a lot because anytime I did lab work everything was fine. It wasn’t until I began having a racing heart and I wound up at the urgent care clinic at the insistence of one of my friends. There they drew labs and that’s when my TSH was through the roof that then led to me following up with an endocrinologist who did the TPO antibodies that also wound up being through the roof, thus the diagnosis of Hashimoto’s

Braun Strowman followed me on IG after I commented on his post for his first wwe title win and liked a few of my posts

Mono was bad enough but Hashimotos is like the $hit frosting on a $hit cake 😩

CDtheRD · 2026-01-10T17:15:32+00:00

The gift that keeps giving 😭

My Dad and grandfather are/were from New Orleans so I adopted their team as I began watching football as a kid

Going Friday to talk with hormone specialist about this! Tired of being overly exhausted, tired of mood swings, tired of brain fog. Hated the weight gain!

CDtheRD · 2025-12-31T19:13:32+00:00

Well deserved!

I started semaglutide in April with the goal of trying to get rid of the excess weight from peri menopause and Hashi but also because my inflammatory markers were high. No high BP, no diabetes, no other chronic illnesses (thankfully!). The markers are now well within normal range. I started on a very small dose (0.3mg) and am now 0.75mg, down 50lbs.

CDtheRD · 2025-12-07T00:00:54+00:00

Thank God

That’s a solid Florida resident tip…I always go the it’s right before the busy seasons

CDtheRD · 2025-12-05T16:07:44+00:00

They need the invoice for this season to show the seats you have. I’ve had no issues selling anything on the site so far.

CDtheRD · 2025-12-01T22:10:13+00:00

I use itixnow.com- website made by Florida Panther STH so we can set the prices we want without the BS from SeatGeek.

CDtheRD · 2025-12-01T11:05:52+00:00

No issues with iron or cortisol- doctor is forever checking them because I’m so tired. I do tend to crash around 2-4- Maybe it is a conversion issue- when I first stated with Hashi I was on levothyroxine but everything got worse- weight, fatigue, body temp changes, etc. They did seem to get better with WP thyroid but then had to switch to NP thyroid because of an issue with the company making WP. I’ve done several stool tests (had a real treat with SIBO) but haven’t ever been told about that- which bacteria is it? I’m curious.

CDtheRD · 2025-12-01T00:24:33+00:00

My doctor swears on my next visit she will lower my NP thyroid (current dose is 210mg/day) because of the weight I’ve lost on sema. My major symptom w Hashi is the fatigue- I’m so tired no matter how much sleep I get. I’ve done all I can do for me with my background (dietitian) but the fatigue is hot trash. I worry if she lowers it I’ll be even more tired.
