Optimum Is A Buzz Word

Tis WINDY.
THINKING ABOUT MY DAY.  What I need to get accomplished.  Have to go get me a cup of coffee as this is how I like to start out my day after waiting my half hour after taking thyroid meds.  

I learned the hard way....take thyroid meds on empty stomach, 
and wait half an hour before eating or drinking anything.  
Wait 4 hours after taking thyroid meds before taking any other meds, vitamins, supplements.  
Coffee may affect the absorption of thyroid meds.

When having blood work done to check TSH levels,
have blood work done as early as possible in the mornings before taking thyroid meds.
FAST before blood work.

This is what I read a while back and have done my best to stick to it.
You are supposedly suppose to get a more accurate reading.
Two hours after you take your thyroid meds, they peak and if you take blood during this time, 
you'll get a false reading of how you are really doing.

THYROID HEALTH 101.
Close to a year ago I switched from SYNTHROID (synthetic thyroid) to ARMOUR THYROID (natural).

POLITICS play hard and heavy when berating natural verses their synthetic meds that big pharma can make more money on since SYNTHROID is one of the most prescribed meds in America.  Think it's number two on the charts.  Anything natural cannot be patented???  Researching the findings of SYNTHROID was interesting since royal members of royal families got the credit for synthroid.  
Royal members are in the club babee.  

I was told that Armour WAS NOT STABLE.  

After studying up on this I found out just the opposite that Armour was considered an OLD DRUG and stable.  Synthroid was continually getting the patent sold to other pharmaceutical companies before it could prove that it's shelf life was stable.  Regulations on the run.  

Trying natural and I started feeling better right away.  Synthroid caused me to SWEAT way too much.  I still sweat, but it's not as bad.  GAINED WEIGHT.  I was weak, couldn't hardly walk and irritated.  IRRITATED?  Irritated.  I was ignored by my Endo as to what I shared and all was redirected to me being a FEMALE that it's PROBABLY menopausal with menopausal symptoms.  PROBABLY MENOPAUSE.

My Husband had the same symptoms as he took Synthroid as well.  Menopausal???  He was told to have his male hormones checked.  So he did and was then told that he was practically a STUD.  Well then tell me doc...hows come I'm sweating so much, irritated, gaining weight, etc. when taking Synthroid when right on the packaging it says side effects might be.......SWEATING, FATIGUE, ETC.

I stuck it out 5 and a half years taking Synthroid and suffered.  I asked my Family Doctor if he'd prescribe Armour...yes.  I told him I was considering switching.  Would visit with him later and I did.  SWITCHED and so did my Husband.  My Husband was getting so weak that holding a newspaper was a task.  Walking was a task.  He feels so much better on the Armour. 

My Endocrinologist did NOT prescribe anything NATURAL nor did they prescribe anything with T3 in it.  None in their office did.  T4 ONLY TREATMENT.  T4.  We'd be told that from taking thyroid meds that we were just like our doctor that had a REAL THYROID.  The meds provided exactly what his thyroid made.  The T4 may be exactly like his, but all those other hormones that his thyroid made we were not getting by taking T4 ONLY.  Duh.  Imagine that.  One hormone is not the same as a thyroid that puts out a multitude of hormones.

READING WIKIPEDIA alone tells you what hormones a healthy thyroid produces.  It isn't T4 ONLY either.  But you see I was also told NOT to read about thyroid health.  Don't read.  I don't think so.  

The endos collect your money while you are ignored and feel awful.  HEAR ME LOUD AND CLEAR....I will read and study.  I will do my best to be level headed, but using logic and reasoning takes a part in all of this.  HOW I ACTUALLY FEEL does as well.

I was told repeatedly that my endo had only lost a couple of his patients.  Good running stats.  I figured out that his patients may not have had their thyroid cancer return, but their overall health suffered and they'd die from some other ailment, not thyroid cancer.  He's off the hook there as his patients die of other causes that taking T4 ONLY TREATMENT contributed to, but he wasn't saddled with being part of the problem since it wasn't thyroid cancer that killed the patients.

The Thyroid deals with so much concerning the human body.  When it's gone, it's challenging to be well.  Overall well.  Other organs suffer when the thyroid is defunct.  So you may have diabetes issues, heart issues, etc.   

When I switched to Armour, I had an adjustment period.  I was irritated about an hour after taking it.  This has lifted.  My numbers have been watched and I'm about to visit with my Family Doctor about perhaps my numbers are too suppressed.  We can watch the numbers together and have a sonogram once a year to see if there is any evidence of returning cancer.

I don't want cancer in any shape or form, but have to have the quality of LIFE be the best I can get and not just staying alive to be alive.  OPTIMUM HEALTH.  Optimum is one of the BUZZ WORDS the medical society likes to use.  OPTIMUM.  

PAUSE
Day planned out on the first day of March.
Will get some fresh air and prayer time.
Load of laundry is drying and I'll need to put another load in washing machine of doll clothing.

I bought special laundry bags to hold delicate items.  Thought this would be the way to go when washing BARBIE DOLL clothing that I have had since I was a wee girl.  NEVER BEEN WASHED.  EVER.  MOST if not all were clothing that my dear Grandma stitched for me as a SANTA CLAUS.  My Barbies came out of the FIRE in very good shape as I pulled them from the rubble.  All was stored in a blue Barbie case all these years.  I was very careful storing my Barbies and clothing.  BUT the fire damage did it's thang and all we had in the house was touched by smoke, smell or flame.

When I do come across something that is still intact, but has some smoke damage...I get a tad bit emotional.  Thankful not all went up in smoke.

I decided that I would clean the Barbies myself and not let them go to SERVICE MASTER or anyone else.  The dolls do not stink of smoke and I believe the tiny outfits will wash up really nice....so I shall see how it goes.

I viewed our list of what the textile people took to try to clean and it hurts that all my dresses were damaged.  My nice dressy jackets were all damaged.  My keepsake dresses that I wore to my Kids Weddings were all damaged.  Keepsake pretties all damaged.  Children clothing all damaged.  Sigh.  

I'll make the bed at RETIREMENT COTTAGE, get dressed, groomed and head to the Post Office to pick mail up as well as to mail them thar BILLS that I wrote out yesterday.  MAIL should go out around two in the afternoon and be sent off to KANSAS CITY.  

LAST NIGHT I watched Prez. Trump on the television as he spoke.  I'll keep quiet concerning how I feel about him being the newest elected president and how he is in my opinion a mouth piece for the illuminati.  Okay?  Okay.  

Okay.  I'll just not talk about this right now.  I'll keep quiet about all this illuminati nonsense that holds hands with kabbalist, occultist, freemasonry, shadow government, bohemian grove garbage, bankers, certain families that rule the world and fund wars.  I'll just keep my mouth shut about all of this stuff that truly must be made up because some people just have too much time on their hands.  Did you say the okay sign is an illuminati signal?  no.  Did you say it is a 666 signal?  no.  Masonic signal?  no.  I didn't say that.  But since I mentioned it....well, it does kind of look like those things, doesn't it?  Well, sort of?  He sure flashes the okay sign A GREAT DEAL....but I'm not gonna talk about it right this minute.  Okay?  Okay.  

All righty then.  Let's just move right along.  Okay?  Okay. 

Okay.  Okay.  Okay.  Okay.  Okay.  Okay.  Okay.  Okay.  Okay.  Okay.  Okay.  Okay.  OKAY.  
OK.

Please note that I am praying for our elected officials.  I am.  Still, this investigating personality that I am has been ENLIGHTENED to much that I didn't have knowledge about before I started INVESTIGATING 101.  Enquiring minds WANT TO KNOW. 

FLOTUS Melania is a lovely looking woman...I will say this:  NICE SMILE.  

Nice smile.  The front of her outfit was lower cut than I think it should have been.  Liked the color, sparkle, the wide belt and overall shape of outfit.  Just a little lower cut in front than modest.  Please.  OKAY.   

AND since you can google nude shots of her on the internet, this outfit becomes her and becomes very VERY MODEST in comparison to being completely nude in an artistic kind of way.  Modeling ya know.

Fer in the neighborhood of $9500.oo you can get one of these pretty outfits very similar to this lovely outfit.

SARCASTIC AS EVER...
Optimumly yours,
