    Sass..... Vaseline!  Rub lots of Vaseline into your hair.... And then use Lard....  Lard is good for you... and when you are done with that, use Honey!  That's also good!

    OMG Sas!!!  All the info about Thyroid!!  I have been having issues for years, it runs in my family! I have a cousin that’s had to go far and wide to find the right doctor to treat her and finally found someone that is, from what I understand, getting to the root of everything you have talked about!!  However, due to job and finances, I have not been able to travel!  But I’m going to print out what you have written and take with me to my doctor next time!  Even my chiro insisted that I ask for a bound and unbound complete thyroid workup, but my other doctor didn’t seem to get it!!  And the chiro is not authorized to order!  Were you saying that the stuff you said do NOT apply to Hashimoto’s?? 

    Anyway, I’m taking this info and asking about it because for some reason, my symptons don’t seem resolved either and 3 different workups all showed that my levels were good!!

    Now, this is very strange but since "signs" was already talked about on here, I just had to mention this:  I did not get to know FBB as well as most of you!  But you were talking about signs and yesterday I was walking on the back of our property with the DH and my DGD, in fact the DGD was the reason, she insisted on going with her Papaw and he doesn't pay close enough attention for me so I had to tag along, anyway, we walked back and forth from front to back as DH is working with the dogs he trains, on the third trip back to the pond, he stops quickly and throws his hand out for me and GD to stop, I immediately thought he saw a snake (yes we do have them back there) but no of all things it was a little blue bird!!!  We hardly ever have any kind of blue birds on our property!!  And this little bird was just fluttering around!  It stayed where we could watch it for a good 10 minutes!!  Anyway, just thought I would tell you ladies!

    Hope everyone has a great weekend!

    Nettie Loved that you had a bluebird visit  :) The longer the thyroid issue went on for me, the stronger I felt the current mainstream approach is flawed. Just a short searching time and I find all this stuff from people working on it for years. Re: hashi's --it likely applies, can't say for sure, but if the basic thyroid management is wrong,  than I have minimal belief that the more complicated mainstream understanding and management of hashi's is any better. Complete reading of the Stop The Thyroid Madness STTM web page with it's links and reading the book, will help. We absolutely should read the book. There is a second edition. I'll check Amazon for price and post it.

    OH yes, just since I first posted this morning, I've learned there are a slew more thyroid tests. I'll just throw out a percentage of 80%,  I have never seen.  LOL, my Endocrin doc has no clue what he's going to be hit with. If he doesn't comply he'll get fired. May have to buy him the book.

    sas..don't listen to Chevy...she's nuts!!!!!! But we all knew that. Lol.  Don't know what your hair looks like. If you don't have oily hair or scalp they have lots of " oils" hair products not cooking products like chevy suggested...lol.     If you are on the oily side, get the ones you spray on,,,they actually say " shine" on the bottles. If you can't find one, pm me your address and I will mail you one :)

    To work I must go...then for a walk, then the movies...and the bears are on tonight...can you believe that...football already..just got a big flat screen tv...gonna be fun

    Enerva, you are beautiful and your hair is growing out nicely!!  I could only wish mine was half that long!  I think I'm cursed with slow hair growth, also think this can be partly attributed to the Thyroid problems!

    Sassy - If you took Chevy's advice for your hair care I think every critter or bee is town would be nesting there.

    Happy Birthday Enerva

    Happy Birthday Enerva...you are gorgeous and I love your hair. So how old are you today? I hope you find time to celebrate 'you' today. So sad to hear about your sisters pathology report. I'm glad you are there for each other. 

    Chevy, you crack me up talking about the time you had purple hair, and then telling sas to use Vaseline, lard, and honey to make her hair shine. I needed that laugh this morning. You asked about the furbies, and they are doing fine working hard on their naps right now ;)

    Nettie, I love that you saw the little blue bird. I love the "signs".

    Cami, you have such a warm caring relationship with your grandson. I agree with Chevy he will always feel close to you and remember the 'things' you do and talk about. So you are kind of close by where Susan lives. She can do you hair....I am jealous. 

    HiO, unbelievable! All the money we pay for homeowners insurance, and to hear about the weird exclusions. Ugh! So if a pipe brought inside the house, you would be covered, but if water from outside comes in you are not covered? Just sucks!

    Had my labs yesterday, only some results have come back. Iron saturation is up to 26 now. Ferritin, and tumor markers not back yet. Urea/Crea, white blood cells, both slightly elevated. Calcium low. 

    Hugs everyone....

    Thanks you all ;) you guys are so sweet. 

    Remember I am one of the crazy ones who refused tamoxifen and other hormone treatment so I am sure that's why my hair is growing cuz i am free of the meds now lol 

    Don't worry your hair will come back ;)

    Love you all

    Thanks for the welcome! 

    Chevy, I'm not sure you would remember me from last time... I barely remember sometimes. Chemo has stolen my brain and won't give it back.  Sas helped me with wound healing stuff when I was here. Thanks, Sas, you helped me understand what the docs were talking about. And, Chevy, you or maybe Cammi called me Blueberry buckle.

    2nd, that video was so sweet and made me cry.  Those ladies are all beautiful, hair or no hair.  I am among the no hair these days. It's no so bad really.

    I'm so sorry for the basement that flooded. Stupid water, it never goes where you want it or stays out of where you don't want it.

    A big happy birthday to beautiful Enerva!

    I'm right with you, Lovemygoats, headed to 104 in north TX today.

    I hope everyone has a pain free, happy day!

    Happy Birthday Enerva!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  WHAT ARE YOU?  10?  You look like a beautiful little girl!   I am probably older than you..... a little..... A little like a hundred!

    I kicked Tamoxifen to the curb too!  Only because of deafness....  and I was losing my hair also!  But now I am normal again..... still can't hear, but I am normal.....

    I can just HEAR Cammi laughing and rolling on the floor.... in her nightgown!  

    Okay Blueberry!  Yes, I remember someone saying Blueberry Buckle.... like a Pie!  I have heard of it, but don't know if I have tried it..... It must be Southern?  Like Grits and Turnip Greens?  

    Did all your wounds heal up?  You have to put Turpentine on them..... like my Grandma did....  It's a wonder we had any skin left......  

    I am baking ribs for dinner....  I don't each much meat..... but I love Spam..... of course that isn't meat....  it is one of the 10 nourishing foods for you.

    I forgot!  Sass, Mayonnaise is also good for your hair!  You don't even have to rinse it out!  Just style it, and go out........ see if anyone notices!

    I put together a real pretty Arbor for my garden.... A Kensington Arch!  so that meant I had to move a few chichalings or whatever y'all called them.....  I have changed my garden stuff so many times, it never looks the same....  but it looks "cleaner" now....   I have vines growing up both sides....  They came up from last year, and I have given up trying to kill them, so they can trail over the Arch....    They are called a creeping something.....  You guys know?  They get little blue berries, and turn red & yellow in the fall.  

    I have them growing & covering the chain-link fence all around our yard.

    Berry I have no memory of it LOL. Oh my. what worked :) but, based on time I'm guessing I was radioactive . Haven't talked of thyroid issues since. Just now heavy back onto it. didn't want you to think I was stuck so long later.

    HI1 damn it's always something. flood waters. CHIT. The insurance industry are thieves. Take your premiums and then weasal out of paying. Even if you were covered they would be weasaling out. We are at their control. I had that bathroom leak remember when the toilet was on the deck. Hartford did everything not to pay. Should have let Ds handle it from the beginning. Hope it works out for you.  Any way to divert future water? I have flood insurance, but it's handled through the Hartford. Can you imagine trying to get them fairly evaluate an occurrence.

    Any recource against builder for building in a old river bed? just hit some button. shifted right?????????

    sweet news. Mo's nurse called earlier to say the bone scan and ct scan from last week were showing improvement or stable consistently. I had an increase of 20 in tumor markers and it was already time for the scans so it was just a wait and see situation :-(.  But since scan are good mo says that small of  increase in tumor markers is nothing to be concerned about. Yea. !!! So we stay on femara with little to no side effects for me. Double yea!!

    gotta question for everyone....who is Shirley ? I received 2 notes from Kristine (FBB)'s family. I had sent her a card and a gift.  The 2nd one I got was my address, but inside it was addressed to Shirley. Whoever you are, pm me your address and I will forward it along. Sorry I don't know first names.
