i still haven't had the chance to read through your stich, printed and in my drawer for now, hoping to catch up while kids sleep tonight
and I am lazy too, cut and copied for your enjoyment here's the basics of my thyroid stich:
H decided that I was a hypocondriac and that was one more thing that he left me b/c of.
Not to make excuses, almost two years ago when he was involved in his first A (that I know of) and I was pregnant and diagnosed with cancer, I was told that I could abort so that procedures could potentially save my life, or if I chose not to, then if I was lucky I could make it 10 years. Basically I had a Dr. with no bed side manner. I made the right choice, my baby is perfect, and I have no "drop dead date"

I'm screwing with my thyroid meds due to ins issues. love the take this or die attitude, I take mine about every 3-5 days.
