I had problems that I didn't even know were problems, I figured just sorta normal getting older stuff. I finally went to a doctor, and ended with surgery to remove a fybrois tumor half the size of a soccor ball. Doc also said I had endometriosis, and was suprised I could handle the pain. I said, well duh, that's why I'm here, I can't anymore, it puts me on my knees and makes me nascious. Anyway, in a follow up checkup, he suggested ablation. After a few years, I am thinking that is not a bad way to deal with this. The pain isn't so bad again, but the bleeding controls my life on certain days. At the time of last surgery all the tests, including thyroid, were okay. I suppose they would check it all again. I do take a daily vitamin, and usually an additional iron supplement. And sometimes I eat broccoli!
As for the NY diet, I lose a few, gain a few, lose a few. More of a yoyo than a loss.
Live your life while you are still living. Riding the trail less traveled.
