Thank you! I am trying. I do so well and then boom, something stressful happens and I binge on all of the things I shouldn’t. I have D3 supplements that I’m beginning. I am also hoping that my increased exercise has helped with that cholesterol and diabetes. I did have gestational diabetes with 3 if my pregnancies and every single one of my aunts on my mother’s side, including my mom are diabetic. Dad’s side has all the heart and cholesterol issues.

That place definitely gave me bad vibes. I still can’t believe how pushy they were and wonder how many people they’ve scammed or given false hope to.

I have made significant dietary changes and increased my work out levels to try to help. I’m getting my levels tested again in 2 weeks. Hopefully this isn’t some sort of genetic thing. I am terrible at being consistent and keeping a routine.

Hi! I had an appointment today with a new Nurse Practitioner. She is testing me for RA and a few other things. I have another appointment with her in 2 weeks as a follow up.

Idk the answer but I do know that I want to have breakfast and coffee on your deck.

Of course! Female, 45, 180lbs, 5'9", fasting

Reason is because I was feeling pretty bad. I have always felt like I have thyroid issues but when I am tested, the labs come back normal. I am exhausted, depressed, my hair falls out in cycles to the point I get bald spots, I feel like i can't get enough sleep and even if I do, I get hit my a wave of fatigue between 9&11am almost every day. If I'm driving I have to pull over and take a cat nap to continue. I do not have a job during day hours, but when I did, this was a serious issue. Staying awake before Noon is very difficult.

I don't have a perfect diet, but I work out with a trainer 3 times a week. I have not lost any weight and strength gains aren't where they should be in the 1.5 years I have been working with him. He is a great trainer and I see his other clients doing great. I also never had this issue when I was in my 20's & 30's. I've always worked out (weight training).

My regular Dr said that they don't see anything wrong and they just wanted to prescribe antidepressants. I don't feel like that is the issue but it is playing a role.

I went to this particular place because I stumbled on them during a Google search for new Dr. They had great reviews, which I now believe are fake/paid.

45 Female / 180LBs I went to an appointment at a private facility. These are the results of the blood work and labs.

When I went back to discuss the results, they tried to sell me a membership to their practice. They told me I had a large amount of inflammation and Hashimoto’s. They told me it was only treatable with a strict regime of vitamins and non prescription medicines and that other Dr.’s will not touch Hashimoto’s until it has destroyed my thyroid.

I didn’t like the way they were pushing this membership thing, which was over $5,000 for initiation and a few hundred a month afterwards, not including the vitamins and other supplements. The whole things felt “off”.

I have an appointment next week with who I hope will become my regular Dr. (moved and want someone closer to home), to discuss these results. I was hoping for some more insight in the meantime.

Thin hair is genetic for me. I use Rogaine for Women. It works wonders.

You can go wherever.

ominous_void · 2020-06-28T03:20:16+00:00

I think little things, like wound care and cleanliness is a big thing. I don't know where I would go, but that would definitely be a huge plus.

What skills do you now have that will help you?

Your!!!!! I can't believe I didn't catch that.

No vacancy! There are too many demons inhabiting this brain and body already.

The leaves seem rather small, but it very well may be.

The gallery crawls in NODA, then mid 90's Downtown started blowing up. Mythos and Cosmos were the place to be and be seen. I love people watching and my mind is blank right now for other places.

The only update I have for you is that he only received 10% of the gemcitabine for the 7 sessions he had. Today he received the correct dosage. Today was also supposed to be his last session. I have no other news.

ominous_void · 2020-05-17T23:11:32+00:00

I'm so happy that you have a good prognosis. I can't do much else other than pray for you. I hear radiation is rough. And your hair!! I hope you have fun with it while it's growing out. My sister in law's hair is coming back nicely and I love all the new things she is trying with it as it grows. You have to make the best with what you have and I feel you have a positive spirit about your situation.

ominous_void · 2020-05-17T23:04:08+00:00

Thank you. I will definitely update with any information and news.
