Hi ;

> I adore your son already!! I find these kids often have an

abiltity to " discern " what's good/bad that's unclouded by social

conventions that are second nature to most of us.

You'd really love how well he handles my mother; who strikes me as a

real borderline personality; very manipulative. He masters her like

a pro!LOL

> The isolation also comes from having very limited

time/energy/resources left after taking care of the priorities. I've

joined some lists/groups, helped to charter a couple of lists, and

a moms' network. Some groups are ok for info but because it's rarer

in girls it's even harder to find a good " fit " like this list.

I know, I feel the same way. I started off being hyperthyroid (runs

in my family), having some sort of thyroiditis, having a partial

thyroidectomy to get rid of a suspcious nodule. Then, these ladies

(Janie, , Cindi, and many others!) helped to save my life. I

am now on 3 and 1/4 grains of armour and am doing ok. If it weren't

for these ladies, I can only imagine the miserable, puzzled state

I'd be in. I'm also caring for my 91 year old grandma; but she will

probably be flying down to join my mother within the next couple of

weeks.

Sounds good to me,lol! My son loves to cook. He also teases me about

my thyroid probem. One day, when we were doing math, I was being

really spaced out and boneheaded as only a thyroid person

understands. After catching me in a few mistakes, my son said, " You

know, you really are a thyroid sufferer! Did you forget to take your

medication? " I'm ashamed to admit that I did,lol. Later in the year,

when we were at Disney World, he bought me a Dory fish

(from " Finding Nemo " )to goof on my memory.

> I am very interested in treating my DD for thyroid and adrenal

issues. My iris wobbles at 7seconds or so with the flashlight test.

My (unmedicated!!) daughter's pupils are dialated and so far she

won't let me do the test on her.

My son informed me that he wanted to be tested, because he felt

pressure on his neck when he lies down. He also hates having shirts

on because of the neckline. So, I requested the bloodwork (he always

gets his thyroid palpated by the doctor; especially since I alerted

them to my problem) ;...and then he was terrified to go! So, I used

reverse psychology, and said, " OK you let me know when we can go "

So, he got himself together, and we took him; only to have the

phlebotomist unsuccessful at drawing his blood! duh! So now we have

to go thru this all over again!
