I'm alive :D

Thanks so much for everyone's nice words when my doggie passed last year. It hit me very hard but I'm now finally seeing the light of day again. :) (Spring is here!)

I feel so bad about not being on LJ much the last couple of years. I have an FB page, because it's a good way to be found if someone wants to find you, but I avoid it as much as

Comments

Woah, that's crazy interesting! I'd never even heard of that.

I deal with hypothyroidism and depression, and yeah - untreated thyroid problems are terrible, especially in conjunction with depression. D:

I'm glad that you're getting treated. I look forward to seeing your posts again ♥

Thanks so much! I look forward to participating more with my friends! <3

WELCOME BACK! *HUGS*

Wow, that thyroid condition sounds scary! I think I may look for a second opinion on my thyroid tests. The doctor (and my nutritionist) really suspected I had a thyroid condition but all test came back normal.

I'll check out your shop, too!

*hugs back!!!* It turns out a lot of doctors don't really do well with thyroids. And if you can get a diagnosis (not easy these days, as most docs go by a TSH test which often comes back in the "normal range." ), they put you on Synthroid which isn't as good as natural thyroid for a lot of people. In my mom's day the doctor would diagnose by symptoms (some few still do) and put on your natural thyroid to see how you did.
There's a few site I recommend for good patient oriented info! http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ - she's a little radical, but there's good info there and http://www.thyroid-info.com/ - another patient advocate site. I really recommend reading up before another doctor visit.
And wow, your avatar is gorgeous!

*hugs!* I've no experience whatsoever with thyroid conditions, but I'm so glad to hear that you've finally gotten a diagnosis and treatment :3 Looking forward to seeing you around more!

(FB is evil, I agree. XD)

Hello Janne! Nice to hear from you again. :)

Thanks for the information about your condition -- I never heard of it. I'm glad you're being properly treated for it now.

*giant hugs back!* Oh wow, an infection? I hope you're all better! And thank you! I often find myself wondering how everyone's doing. I hope to spend more time here!
