Beautiful Day!

Today is a beautiful, wonderful day!! The sun is finally shining, hope the gray days of winter are over. It's no big secret to those who know me well that I LOVE cold weather but I do also love the sunshine.  So it is a welcome addition to the day today.  Also my thyroid has been in check for a couple of days now.  I had some heart palpatations earlier in the week but they have subsided and I feel much better.  I haven't had any joint pain for almost 2 weeks either so that nice too.  On a final, non related note my blogger friend had great news on her blog today as well.  Her son Mason is finally being released from the hospital. They have a long journey ahead but I they are such a strong family I'm sure they will make the best of it. 

Thyroid Help

I will admit that when I first suspected I had a thyroid problem I was a little frustrated but then I went to about.com and typed in thyroid. A whole new world was opened up for me. I was introduced to the wonderful Mary Shomon. If you don't know her and you have a thyroid condition you MUST go and read her articles and find her page on facebook. She knows everything there is to know about the thyroid, it is her mission. I can honestly say that if I hadn't found her I wouldn't be in as good of condition as I am today, medically speaking. In future posts I will get more specific as to what I do and don't do to help my thyroid function but for now enjoy your weekend, I plan to do the same!

Welcome

Hello and welcome to my blog. I started this blog in hopes to help people with thyroid conditions. I sometimes experience very odd symptoms that don't really seem to fit with the thyroid but I know they are related. My co-workers find it odd that my wrists or ankles get stiff and painful. When I explain that it is thyroid related they look at me like I'm crazy.  Same thing happened at the pharmacy the other day. So basically I really just want a place where I can vent about my thyroid and hopefully some people who have the same problems will join me!
