48 Willowed from the Week in Woke thread, because of course I am late to every thread:
I have hashimoto's thyroiditis and want to weigh in on the thyroid conversation. Levothyroxine is a garbage product that doesn't do squat for most people. It is the bottom of the barrel of thyroid medications. There are much better options that are made from pigs, for instance, that mimic much more closely human thyroid hormones. Also, doctors poorly understand the thyroid function, and they don't test for T3 and T4 levels along with the basic TSH levels. In my experience endocrinologists are the worst people to ask for help with a thyroid condition, and the best are people who actually want to do more than write a prescription and collect your money for an office visit.

When I was a young lass, about 17 or so, our friends talked me and another gal into trying out the boxing gloves. Yes, of course, there was alcohol involved. I think we stopped after about two swipes each, because girls don't punch their friends. And it hurt some.

Effin' marbles. We used to have this pretty cool Halloween Parade in my old home town. Bands, floats, the works. It was a big deal in a small town.

Then, "Animal House" came out. My old hometown was, also, a small college town. So, a bunch of college kids saw "Animal House" and thought it would be a fantastic idea to drop about 5,000 marbles down the main street as the high school band was marching through. There was a few yelps, much clanking, and a couple dental issues that resulted. And, that was the last Halloween Parade in that small town. Never happend again.

You are right that thyroid meds made from pigs is a better medication for the thyroid; however, it can cause atrial fibrillation and for those who have it or are prone to it exacerbation is a certainty.

Saying that docs don't do complete thyroid function, you left out free TSH, may be from personal experience. What each doc does is different and we are always free to ask for a complete workup.

189 Emergency surgery required for that, and. she's in the OR now. Things aren't looking so good. We'd appreciate all the prayers you can muster. I'll to update later tonight if possible.

Thanks.

190 I'm reading the FBI had a Newsom inter circle member wear a wire. This has to do with his corruption investigation I think. Yikes.

Rubio gets a lot of talk as the best appointment of Trump 2.0, but Kash getting the FIB to do their fucking job (even against Democrats!) is pretty awesome too.

Yes. Almost as real-looking as Max headroom.

We're having a heat wave,
A tropical heat wave,
The temperature's rising,
It isn't surprising,
No rain on horizon
My ass just fry's on
We're having a heat wave

Thou shalt not put whitewall tires on thy pickup truck

207 So the mayor of Buffalo, NY cancelled July 4th and raised the Somali flag over City Hall. The flag was promptly stolen by awesome citizens, and they cut the cable so they can't raise another one. LOL.
Posted by: Ian S. at July 02, 2026 08:52 PM (GAoSt)

They should use the Mayor's bunghole as a launcher for big fireworks rockets, too.

Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at July 02, 2026 09:51 PM (1z8ji)

208 131 Well, Mama pulled through fine. She's back in the room, zonked out but conscious and knows who we are, who she is, and where's she's at. Doc had to give her a dose of blood thinner reverser. She was very sensitive to the sedation and just a little dab did her, which was good.

I did not know blood thinner reverser existed.
Posted by: Publius on Stupid Phone at July 02, 2026 08:46 PM (+82YS)

Maybe other meds, but Vitamin K.

Thankful she made it and will pray for her tonight.

214 Hey Tecumseh my limited experience with endocrinologists agrees. Holy shit - idiots.

Apologies to any endocrinologist morons here, but honestly you'd be better off asking a talking dog.
Posted by: ... at July 02, 2026 09:05 PM (vE0+H)

If you need a good doc, Janice Koval is the endocrinologist DH sees. She is excellent. She's in Anchorage, so there may be an upcharge, but I suspect you could do this by video or something.

216 Apparently this browndog chap watches this pseudo-sport colloquially known as "soccer," or some such. I guess watching paint dry was just too exciting.
