All Things Health

Me neither. It's the thousands being crammed in that puts me off before even thinking about what's available but, on looking at things, I cannot see that it is my type of thing anyway. I do like boats though and would go on a much smaller boat, even if it was thrown about a bit. If I were in the navy I would prefer a destroyer to a battleship

My SO caught something from work... I don't seem to be getting many symptoms so far other than a mild discomfort in my throat, so maybe I'm in the clear. He is having a fever, sore throat, and mild cough. He got a covid test done that was negative, but they said to recheck in case it was a false negative, but they did say there is something going around that they don't know what it is yet. Hope it's not a new virus entirely, just a strain that wasn't as common right now or something.

Aside from that, still wearing my heart event monitor until Friday. I have been having slightly less palpitations for the last few days... we've been mainly relaxing and watching TV, so hm.

I also had my thyroid blood work, and I'm going more toward hypo again on 5mg. I asked to take 2.5mg 3 times a week to get it going back up a bit. Was hoping to get it more toward the middle range and staying there. I haven't been below 5mg in a long time, so this is a surprise lol I've been taking a lot of supplements that I read is good for GD, and maybe they're actually helping somewhat.

Probably nothing to worry about, just wait for a few days and see what happens.

Wow.

heatherly, Good to hear you are getting such a thorough check up Heather.

I eat plenty of nuts at lunchtime, and I have a magnesium supplement.

I can't digest wheat: I get very sick when I even eat a small bowl of cheerios. My body can't tolerate brown bread either. I also avoid white bread.

I presume your doctor is aware of this?

The less medication I take, the better I feel, even though my doctor told me I should take them.

That depends.....

I had a patient who was supposed to be taking blood thinners to prevent another stroke. 

"But I always take them if I feel my blood getting thicker!"   

OMG

Depending on the blood thinner, that could be quite dangerous. Warfarin requires the blood to be stabilized prior to using it. If it isn't, one could get ulcers. I don't know how long one would have to be off it before that is required, but it's nothing to mess around with.

I'm sure I got grade 3 piles now. Started small then got bigger during pregnancy. I had a recent constipation probably due to eating too much red meat and less fibres, vegetables on vacation. One episode of constipation has made my piles causing me pain now. It's the 3rd day and usually the ointment (with hydrocortisone content) does the trick but not this time. Anyone who knew did a LASER surgical removal of piles? I can't find any article showing that LASER can treat grade 3. I don't know if we do the LASER technique here and if not, I'm already thinking of traveling abroad to get it done. I dread having the conventional surgery. I tried seeing a doctor soon but the only available appointment is in a week time   

I once had a little one and that was bad enough. Good luck.
