8 1/2 years is wonderful, congrats! I am at 12 1/2 years now. Absolutely add me as a friend. :flowerforyou:

When I was in high school I had long black hair (think Cher) Now I have short blonde hair. When I was in high school I was probably 25 lbs thinner (that's why I'm on MFP) When I was in high school I was a "goody two shoes"...now definitely NOT!:laugh:

I hear you! My family makes fun of me wearing sweaters when its 90 out. I found this winter that I wore a lot of neck scarves (very fashionable!) and they really helped keep me warm. Somehow just having my neck area wrapped kept me warm. My own fashion statement.

Great job! Tell me what you did to get those great arms??? My grandkids call my arms "grammy arms" I REALLY need to firm them up.

I either buy flavored coffee or add cinnamon to the grounds before brewing. I add 1 tsp. sugar ( I quit artificial sweetners due to thyroid problems) I also add a bit of French vanilla creamer (I buy sugar free kind) Maybe about 50 calories.:drinker:

Thank you! I agree. I still am obsessed that I must get on that scale every morning but I really put more credibility in how my clothes fit. I still need the scale to keep myself in line and disciplined but I don't go all nuts (like I used to) if I am up a few pounds (if I know I was good). p.s. I can weigh myself before…

Oh I see second part of your question...how do you deal with it? Well, I have a pretty healthy outlook since tackling breast cancer. The answer I have is, I take it one day at a time and I consider this" just a speed bump, not a roadblock". There are so many people who have it worse and have more serious illnesses so all…

I have Hashimotos too. And...I am pre-diabetic (I take Metformin) I am a 12 1/2 year survivor of breast cancer (my immune system was also compromised from chemotherapy) and I take meds for high blood pressure and high cholesterol. So I have a few multi symptoms along with the thyroid. Feel Free to add me as a friend.…

Yes and No. Sometimes I feel it but then I will get a "present" of cheesecake, etc. & I think not. But...I have reached the point in my life where I have realized, support or no support, this is MY journey & I have to be my own support. Plus I have MFP friends who understand my ups & downs and are here for me in good times…

I don't think its the meds either. I do not experience any difference in how my body reacts to alcohol and I take several different meds for other issues along with my Synthroid.

I am just reopening mine today. I was not keeping track for awhile while I was having some health adjustments.

Your last sentence is soooo important...ALL UNDER DOCTOR'S ORDERS. It is so important to let your doctor/endo/specialist know what all (including over the counter) pills you are taking. I keep mine on my computer & print out a copy any time I go see ANY of my drs. Some of these supplements should not be interacted with…

I agree with Lauren. We are supposed to be here as support. There are times when we all get that "I'm starving" feeling. For me personally, it is a sign to me that 1-I need more food or 2-my meds are not working properly or 3-I am having an emotional day. That's just me. You didn't say if this was just today or an ongoing…

:sick: Had to quit eating them. Bananas is one of the foods that cause my diverticulosis to act up. Major abdominal pains!
-
Oh yeah! Love my coffee & cappuccino. My Kuerig gets a workout!

wow, I do lemons but never heard of cucumbers & lemons in water before. Have to go buy both tonight & try.

Hello everyone. I am Rosemarie from the North Hills (Ross Twp) I would like to get any information about activities in North Park.

I have Hashimoto's, had Isthmus of thyroid removed 1 1/2 years ago. Take synthroid. Be sure to visit thyroid topics. Lots of us post there. Should have said Group Forums on Hypothyroidism & Hyperthyroidism instead of thyroid topics...

never had that happen & I color every 6 weeks. I take thyroid meds, blood pressure med, cholestrol meds...

YOU got sent back to grocery store??? I am guessing he has 2 arms & legs that work...if he wants different food, he can shop, he can cook. Sounds like you have him spoiled. I used to tell my kids, this is what I made, eat it (or at least try it) this is what the meal is! Also, you need to try to get a new mind set. People…

Quit Facebook about 3 years ago. Thought it was "safe"...Ha! Someone hacked on my page/friends and I had Big Problems!!! Do not trust it, don't need to hear/read useless crap. I agree totally with you.

Get checked for diverticulitis, diverticulosis and Irritable Bowel Syndrom. I have IBS and Diverticulosis and I get major abdominal pain just like you are describing. I have started a list of things that flare my diverticulosis up. Bananas is the latest addition to the list. Nuts do it, so does pepperoni. Keep that food…

Tami - Wow! Your story is awesome. Yes, I too wish this was a more active survivor site. That was my intention when I started it. We alll have different stories to share. The best support comes from other breast cancer survivors. I am at 12 1/2 years now & I am very open about talking about my journey. I wish you continued…

This could be just my body but here is my story... I have been on levothyroxine for the past year. Symptoms were not as bad but still were there (cold, exhaustion, etc.) I needed a refill before my appt. (few weeks). Called the dr. (endo) office to get a refill sent to pharmacy. I said "I need my synthroid refilled" They…

That beautiful smile says it all. You look soooo happy & you deserve to be! I am glad to see you did it slow too. I truely believe if it is done slowly it stays off. Kepp up the good work, very proud of you!

-
I am cold day & night. I have socks on all the time, sweater or sweatshirt, etc. & I still am cold. With me it is not just a night issue. I think all of us are different on this. Recently when I had my script renewed, the dr. office called in Synthroid instead of the levothyroxine (sp?) I had been on. I know these are…
-
I was on levothyroxine for the last year for hypo & Hashimotos. I felt a little better but still had bouts with tiredness & being cold - my two biggest complaints. When I called the endo for refill when my prescription had no more refills ( I was a month away from my check up ) they called in a script for Synthroid instead…
