It's from House, Pete. Since many of the strange diseases that present to the group could be explained by lupus, the writers have made "it's not lupus" into a rule on the show, and hence a running gag.
I certainly wasn't downplaying the impact of this disease on your wife's friend, or the estimated 161,000 to 322,000 adults in the U.S. afflicted with it. Quote:

I have had those symptoms. Three years ago I found out my thyroid level is a little low which made me tired and still does....oh and chunky too. It also took the fight right out of me. Kinda like a free lobotomy. If I stop taking my thyroid hormone I become so distracted and tired. I should note that some doctors will not give the thyroid hormone if you are in the very low or borderline low area. When my regular doctor was on vacation he tried to give me anti-depressants. Well I wasn't depressed. I think you have to have emotions to be depressed so I through the script in the trash. When my regular female doctor came back and I told her my symptoms she said my thyroid was low but within range but because of my symptoms gave me thyroid hormone. Not everyone is equal. Some people are greatly effected by the slight deviation from the blood tests baseline. It took along time ( maybe a year ) to find the right dose but I started to get my energy back and my concentration for the most part. The chunk is still with me though only not so bad. I just get puffy at times. |

sky, could be a lot of things. I'll know something Wednesday, scheduled my scan.
It's probably something much simpler. It'll be nice to know there's nothing in there that shouldn't be (besides some random thoughts.) Unless they admit me, I'll be good to go. Thanks!

Whenever I feel like that I think about a greasy pork sandwich.

Sorry man. That swept through the glatthouse last week. Somehow I was the only one spared. It's being spread at the elementary school. It's a bad one. Very infectious. Lots of kids getting it.
The worst part was just as one glatt family member got better, another would get sick. It made the thing last all week. |

My mom had thyroid issues a about 10yrs ago, the had to remove it. Then they found out it was cancer. She's been on synthroid. If my issue is cancer, that doesn't really bother me. Thyroid issues just run in the family.
Shaw, I hope they get you straightened out soon! Griff, I remember having to sip on cola syrup over ice as a kid when I was feeling nauseous...it seemed to help then. I haven't been sick like that in a loooong time, so not sure if it truly works or if it was a jedi-mom trick.

I never did hurl... I should have focused on that greasy sandwich...
We used to get that syrup as kids too.

The minor cough, which I assumed was a minor cough and worked all weekend through, carrying heavy stuff and gigging for hours and staying up all hours of the night, is now a chest cold with a 100.5 fever and sinus congestion.
And me with no cola syrup. Back to bed. |
