INSOMNIACS place to talk in the wee hours

IllinoisLady

Usually late and once again three pages late.  "Sigh".    Anyway, just saying hi and getting a kick out of pics and owls and all sorts of funny things.....like little old "ladies". 

Hoping all is well and if not sending lots of warm hugs and healing energies.

Lilli

Enerva

Sass sending you hugs, hope you get well soon. I am hoping Spring finally makes her way here

Badger, call when you are here, You will be driving right by Spookie's and I'm getting close to being able to get the chair which is right in Tampa. Never know you may need to stop for lunch and we could be right there LOL. But this time we'd double check the Cracker Barrel

Cami couldn't resist that pic. It's in the box. It is so apre'pro(sic) for this group. I tried to put the deodorant lady in there too, but couldn't. I will never be able to wear deodrorant again without thinking of this one ROTFLOL.

Woohoojeniwoo- we like you tooowooow

Linda so glad you're here, laugh'n laugh'n laugh

Beatmom, haven't seen you forever catch us up to date?

Chevy there was another bird, but now there's a forcaster that has the forcast right for us

Teka cute:)---if we did ongoing health problems we'd never get onto anything else, BBL have to paint something and get ready to go out to dinner HUGS MUAH

Sassy, I see you added something to the header and the owls didn't get upset and move around. Good work! 

Trying to catch up, not doing a great job.

sas-schatzi

Maddy, the owls flew all over the place and did it twice, but I'm getting faster at putting them back in place. Can you imagine if I got the deodorant lady in there next to the forcaster. Cami's on a wild streak LOL

YOOOHOOOOT---------ZIGGY WHERE ARE YOU GOING IN FLORIDA----

badger

Sassy I'd love to, if it works out.  Mom's in Ft. Myers so we'll head up I-75 early morning Sat 3/22.  That's maybe two hours driving?  So we might be ready for a break by then.  For sure we'd double & maybe triple-check the Cracker Barrel. ♥

Sassypants, if I were going to be anywhere near you, I would have let you know ahead because I would love to hang with one of my most favorite cray cray women, but I'm going to be down in Ft Lauterdale, and I won't have a car. If you're going to be down there I would LOVE to take you out for lunch, dinner DRINKS, whatever. If not, I am for sure going to be there for 3 weeks next February. It sounds like you are feeling better, yes? A little at least?

Teka

sas sad, but true (

Linda-n3

Alyson, sending hugs and hope that your meds are kicking in. I had to give up and go on round-the-clok pain meds for a while this month just to keep ahead of it - easier to do that than play catch-up, so hang in there, try taking the tramadol on a regular schedule for a while to see if you can get yourself feeling better. Rest, let us know how you are doing.

Sas, yes, being rid of that thyroid is probably a good thing for you. As my baby sister (another militant nurse advocate) says "parts is parts, and parts will turn on you!". So that is one part that can't hurt you now!

Wishing all a pleasant evening and a few winks of sleep.

DH was in Ft Meyers last Wed. We are next to Clearwater. Was 4 hours south, 4 hours back north. It's spring break, spring baseball people sick of the snow. For a reference, it's 8 hours to Atlanta from here. All of that on 75.

Would love to meet you!  Like Cracker Barrel a lot!

Teka

Maddy,

I skim the majority of posts!

But always notice when members change their *Avatars*.

Linda "parts is parts, and parts will turn on you!".. I so agree, but if I knew I was going to leave so many parts everywhere, I would of bought an urn and asked for their return. Some are in Michigan(minor parts-lymph nodes). Ohio, also, minor parts(again a couple lymph nodes and minor stuff). Florida, " I'm here and there, and over there" as the Scarecrow said. Mom left this world with only loosing her cataracts, Dad lost nothing. HMMMMMM kind of says something.

Ziggy, this feb has passed are we talking next Feb? If so I'll come down. Or were you just saying that you came back from your trip? There was something about sex involved? Lauderdale is only 2-3 hrs south, depending on how fast you drive. For me it's 4 hours . but fine, I have family in the area to stay with.:)

Feeling Better, better , even by the hour. all my lovely Owlettes. I'm at almost 4x's +,  the thyroid drug. WEEEEEEE. Not like prednisone effect, but either my body loves, it or the placebo affect is working it's magic

SAS, DIL did have thyroid cancer and had to stop her thyroid medication after a year for a scan. She was blogging and it just sounded like deep deep depression. As soon as she was able to go back on the medication she felt great right away. She's now 12 years out and doing great. So probably not just the placebo effect.

ziggypop

schatzigal - Sorry about the confusion. I

Im flying into Ft Lauterdale tomorrow evening and yes, there will some bust the bed sex involved if I have anything to say about it.. That's all I have to say about that. Anyway. I'll be there thru next Sat (march 15). But this year I have no car. Next year, I will be in Orlando and Ft L. for at least 3 weeks, because I REFUSE to be in this stupid cold constipated town in February for one more year. 

Sooo. If you were to happen to be in Ft L. in the next 5 days -then I would love to see you & take you OUT.. BUT, I really do want you to rest and heal up - so next year would be good too. 

Spookiesmom

Hmmmmmmm

Cold constipated town. Gonna have to remember that line and apply it to Cinti next time DH gets homesick.

Justmejeans--JMJ, 10,000 th post, and a new on target description SLAMMOGRAM that will absolutely replace the accepted term--DOUBLE PLAY. YAY WHOOPWHOOHOOT

Aly, we both have troubles with thyroid, Remember when i said we'd be thyroid buddies. Both my doc's were being so conservative in trying to figure out plan. You have a couple autoimmune problems. Rh and fibro, then plus post polio. We both have fibro and post polio. 

One of the things I 've been learning about the thyroid is how involved it is in autoimmune disorders. Didn't have a clue. I know when he went from 25 mcg/day to 37.5mcg /day even though TSH was tight at low normal(preferred).....I was different and I saw a difference physically & mentally. He made the move even though the TSH didn't indicate it. The response was a very nice surprise. @ 112mcgs now and liking it allot.

What drug level are you at?

Force/cajole them to do every Thyroid test available. If this keeps up this way I can imagine a new future. Even ask him to consider an increase to evaluate response. 

The other drug I have to take now is oscal 3 x's a day.He didn't specify dose. What affect that is having could be interesting too. What I'm really taking is Ca 1000mg/zinc15 mg/ magnesium400mg b/c it was on hand and I can't stand to waste it. So, who knows may be it's that . Or combo of. It's at a high end for calcium, but so, far no negative effect.

(((((((((((((((((((HUGS))))))))))))))))))

Linda(yoohoo) may be knows cuz she's a pharmacist.

Spookiesmom

Sas Could be the mag. Another forum I hang on most there are deficient in it. If an Epsom salt bath makes you feel better, you are low. Or just soak your feet in it and see what happens. 

Scientific huh?

sas-schatzi

Spookie, hmm what do I know.send me or post the link to the thread. A test group and control group would have to prove the bath thing. BUT Epsom salts  was the go to for EVERYTHING prior to around 1970. Every house in America had it under the sink.. Exaggeration, but allot did. Our mom's used it for bruises, sore muscles, enemas. upset stomachs , feed the palm trees. What else ? They knew what to do with it.

Now many of us have it in the house unused for years, b/c the knowledge hasn't been passed on. We may be missing out on something.

Do know ca/mg/ and zinc should be taken together. What effective level is real , no real clue. Ca should be about twice the Mg level, that's the extent of what I know. AND that lack teh muscles and many body functions are screwed up. Have i paid attention. Briefly, then the Ca would cause constipation and I'd quit. 

Diet is a good source, but I'ma very bad eater. I envy people that work at diet. Me, I think about 5 minutes ahead of when I want to eat----not a  planner. I buy healthy, then transfer it to the trashcan when it's gone bad b/c I didn't develop a wish to eat it.

Good night/good morning Owls!  ♥ 

justmejanis

Sas so happy to coin the new winning term.  I have called it a Slammo forever......now everyone can!

I had a right thyroidectomy about two years ago.  My scar seemed thick early on, but it healed beautifully.  It is no longer raised and is a faint thin line that is barely visible.

Yall forgot to remind me to reset my clock.

I did back a page!

All the insomiacs slept well last night?  There were only two post to read when I woke up.  

tangandchris

Morning-

I'm lost, but I knew I would be when I checked in. From what I can gather Sassy is feeling better and Ziggy is going to FL to get sex. Something about a slammo-wammo, but that isn't the sex.

((hugs))

ziggypop

How did I miss that Teka? You are one of the good ones. 

That's a pretty good summary, Tango.

Chevyboy

Good one Tang!   Yes we all know about that little Tart Ziggers, and her qwest for sex!  Is that legal?  I mean going across State Lines?  Plolly so....   It just HAS to be some head-bangin', rib-bustin', all-out foot-stompin'  party SHE has planned!  You can bet she will be draggin her .... um .... butt back to where she lives!  I think I would STAY if it's THAT good! 

You know, I'm sittin' here Sass, with Cammi, and just tryin' to understand most of what you say.... Just KNOW that I am so happy you are back to yourself, and feeling better.  I did read about that Hashimoto's disease, and glad your Thyroid was just a tad off kilter.   What-ever it was, you probably didn't need it.... 

I think someone called you a rebel something or other...  like a ninja-nurse...  I can't look back now...  But I laughed!   AND you put a MAN on our thread!  WTH?  I can't even drink alcohol... I don't think....  It just puts me to sleep anyway. 

Wait....  Lilshit, make SURE you don't go gettin' all crazy, and you have to make that horn-dog wear some sort of rain-gear......  You got it?   I've read about things happening, so just take precautions...  Also, there's the pg thing....  Then we could all point our fingers at you, and snicker!

And if anything goes on longer than 4 hours, give the rest of us a call, right?  xoxoxoxo

badger

LOL you guys crack me up.  Chevy that ED ad makes me cringe.  FOUR HOURS?  Thank you no!  I'm no spring chicken but don't think I could have done that even way back in the day.  Have fun ziggy!  *wink-wink*
