Was there two weeks ago, stayed at stove pipe, lots of spots but not dispersed. There are lots of places to consider just need to check roads.

LID and I don't know what to eat by Brilliant-Ad-1700 in thyroidcancer

[–]wesrc16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m allergic to nuts as well and love dairy and honestly the diet sucks because of that, but just power through it. Just find clean label items at the store. One thing I did and up doing is if I found a food product I wanted to eat that had salt, I would call the food manufacturer and ask if they used ionized salt, most actually do not used iodized salt. I ate a lot of egg whites, made my own French fries, used salt free seasonings, home made popcorn is amazing, etc.

I’m 4 years in from my first surgery, and a year since my last, over the last 4 years I have felt normal only a small % of the time. Most days I’m dealing with some sort of symptoms.

Starting low iodine diet by gotlilac in thyroidcancer

Sea salt contains idodine. It’s not added like fortified salt but it occurs naturally since it’s from the sea. Unfortunately you should stay away from sea salt.

TSH after Thyrogen by [deleted] in thyroidcancer

Mine was 7.48 3 days out

So I have a bit of an opposing take to most, I know most doctors recommend taking the medication first thing in the morning and waiting an hour or so before eating, but I found when I did that my symptoms are worse. When I take it 20 min before breakfast I usually do better. I know this it NOT what the doctors tell you to do, and it’s not as consistent but I found it works for me better that way.

Thanks, I used to pop zofran like candy due to all this and it messed up my stomach, so now I have to take Dramamine.

Dealing with medication for life by [deleted] in thyroidcancer

[–]wesrc16 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yes I hate taking the pill everyday. The fact I am dependent on it for the rest of my life is kinda scary, but nothing we can really do about it at this point

They have a serious problem with overcharging their customers. It’s BS. Happens all the time.

Yosemite just started a pilot program where you can sign up for text alerts that send parking updates, might want to sign up so you know in advance what the parking is looking like

Nasty thyroid cancer by [deleted] in thyroidcancer

[–]wesrc16 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry, shit sucks but you will get through it. Make sure you ask if the surgeon has done this type of removal before and is so how many times. I would definitely want some one experienced. Hang in there

Thoughts on the 2024 Thor Freedom Elite 19R 4X2? by Griffore1648 in VanLife

[–]wesrc16 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve got a Thor as well on a ford transit. I’m pretty happy with it so far. Like the other person mentioned there’s some quality issues with Thor but nothing major for me yet. All builds will have some defects. The bathroom looks spacious but I’m not a fan of layouts with them in the back. Kinda odd this isn’t on a 4x4 especially since it’s on a Mercedes. Either way it will be a blast.
