Pink pills for Rosie our cat, she has a thyroid problem and needs two of these a day to keep her well. She watches for me going to the dispenser and sometimes makes a dash under the table to get out of the way.
WILL BE OUT ALL DAY THURSDAY , BUT WILL CATCH UP ON FRIDAY, HOPEFULLY.
Tsk tsk. So it fluttered again, and I called the doc, and he saw me, said it could very well be an electrolyte imbalance or, if I still have it, anemia causing the flutters, as well as perimenopause. He gave me a blood work form for all those things and thyroid.
Honestly, I haven't had a panic attack in about five years. Maybe longer. My heart would race for no reason, and I would sweat and feel claustrophobic. This was nothing like that.
I was there last April for the same reason, and I didn't have the EKG, so we went for it this time. I won't have to do it when I get my physical next month. There was nothing "abnormal" on the test, but there were two unexplained blips, and my heart was slow, as usual, which isn't really a cause for concern--unless you're the one whose heart beats slowly, because it feels weird! Imagine being at 42 bpm, which is my lowest ever during a test.
Anyway, he says why don't we just be safe, since I had it three days in a row, and get a 24-hour heart monitor.
So there you go.
She was totally exhausted from the excitement. Her blood values had to be checked. The thyroid medication is perfectly adjusted but the kidney values are slightly above normal. However, it could not be clarified why she has been losing weight for several months. You always have to worry a bit with old cats but i still wouldn't want to give her away. she is a very sensitive old cat and the vet noticed that. The same vet treated Minnie when she was found neglected on the street 9 months ago. She was happy to see Minnie again and said she looked good.

... U is for utensils.
Slightly better weather today, but with one thing and another I didn't get out, or no further than the rather nippy garden.
So found the non stick kitchen utensils for the Alphabet Challenge.

after a frightening experience with my heart and thyroid failure ..I am on the mend. I have to put up with a Pharmaceutical compounding that knocked the stuffing out of me. don't know what's worst, a dodgy ticker or 20 pills a day.
anyway, it's going upwards and the weather is bright and warm
Ever since I had my thyroid gland removed in 2016, my eyebrows are virtually nonexistent. My brows are sparse and light, so I have to use an eyebrow pencil to draw them in. I have tried powders, pastes, and a variety of pencils. Thankfully, this L'Oreal pencil seems to do a pretty good job as long as the tip is sharpened. This is the last thing I do with my makeup routine to be ready for the day.
Hunter's way of greeting. He also occasionally licks your nose. Jeremy got a kick out of watching us do it recently, so has started doing it on his own. We never got Matthew into doing it for some reason. Jeremy seems to be a bit more interested in the cats in general.
Hunter had his third thyroid level check and it is now normal for the current medication level. He's gaining some weight back, too. He's kind of a pain about taking the pills, getting good at spitting them back out unless I place it perfectly on the back of his tongue, but I think I prefer it to the iodine treatment option.

ZLATIBOR is a mountain of exquisite beauty. It has pleasant and mild climate, large clearings, exuberant pastures intersected with mountains with mountain streams and pine trees - which this mountain is named for.
The average hight is about 1000m above sea level.
Mountain and sea gulfs encounter here which speed up the curing and the recovering from large number of lung and heart illnesses, especially from illnesses of thyroid gland and anemia.
The Balkans is the historical name of a geographic region of southeastern Europe. The region takes its name from the Balkan Mountains, which run through the centre of Bulgaria into eastern Serbia. The region has a combined area of 550,000 km2 (212,000 sq mi) and a population of about 55 million people.
The ancient Greek name for the Balkan Peninsula was “the Peninsula of Haemus” (Χερσόνησος του Αίμου, Chersónisos tou Aímou).
The Balkans are adjoined by water on three sides: the Black Sea to the east and branches of the Mediterranean Sea to the south and west (including the Adriatic, Ionian, Aegean and Marmara seas).
The identity of the Balkans is dominated by its geographical position; historically the area was known as a crossroads of various cultures. It has been a juncture between the Latin and Greek bodies of the Roman Empire, the destination of a massive influx of pagan Slavs, an area where Orthodox and Catholic Christianity met, as well as the meeting point between Islam and Christianity.
The Balkans today is a very diverse ethno-linguistic region, being home to multiple Slavic, Romance, and Turkic languages, as well as Greek, Albanian, and others. Through its history many other ethnic groups with their own languages lived in the area, among them Thracians, Illyrians, Romans, Uzes, Pechenegs, Cumans, Avars, Celts, Germans, and various Germanic tribes.
The Balkan region was the first area of Europe to experience the arrival of farming cultures in the Neolithic era. The practices of growing grain and raising livestock arrived in the Balkans from the Fertile Crescent by way of Anatolia, and spread west and north into Pannonia and Central Europe.
In pre-classical and classical antiquity, this region was home to Greek city-states, Illyrians, Paeonians, Thracians, Epirotes, Mollosians, Thessalians, Dacians and other ancient groups. Later the Roman Empire conquered most of the region and spread Roman culture and the Latin language but significant parts still remained under classical Greek influence. During the Middle Ages, the Balkans became the stage for a series of wars between the Byzantine, Bulgarian and Serbian Empires.
Très bonne nouvelle pour Pistache : depuis l'augmentation de son traitement il y a un mois, ses valeurs thyroïdiennes se sont normalisées (même si à la limite supérieure) et elle est repassée tout juste au-dessus de 3kg. C'est toujours trop peu, mais ça fait du bien de savoir que son poids est remonté plutôt qu'une fois de plus descendu.
Very good news for Pistache: since the increase in her treatment a month ago, her thyroid values have normalized (even if at the upper limit) and she is again just over 3kg. It's still too little, but it's good to know that her weight has gone up rather than once again down.
Well, here is my last picture of Buba in this year's 52-weeks-for-dogs project. But don't worry, Frau K. will take over Buba portraiture duties in the next year, while I will switch over to Candor.
(As you can see, Candor is already waiting in the wings...)
2020 is going to be an exciting year for the pack... because it's time to say goodbye to our old hunting grounds, the valleys and the hills of our so called Siebengebirge ('7 mountains'), for spring next year we're going to move to a new home!
I'm looking forward to sharing the experience with the group... and of course I'm open to every bit of advice regarding moving with dogs... ;)
p.s.: I'll do my best to comment and write more, and more often. The search for a new home, my thyroid surgery and numerous nasty bits and pieces of trouble and bother have taken their toll on my activities this year... but things are starting to look up :)
Hi to all my Flickr Follower Friends and other Flickr folk who visit my stream. I haven't posted anything in a year, like most countries the lockdowns here in England were quite tough, as they had to be so it was hard to keep being creative. I stayed at home most of the year other than food shopping. I grew vegetables, designed patterns and dressmade and became quite accomplished on my piano at long last. For my 51st birthday hubby bought me a baby grand white piano. I did do some photography over the year but not much. I concentrated on my family and supported my boys as they both had to work, I stayed at home as I have no Thyroid due to a tumour a few years back and I have to be careful. I'm lucky though as I spent the whole year growing vegetables and having my boys at home which has been a privilege and a blessing. Hubby and I worked really hard on our garden and turned a five year project into a 1 year stay at home coronavirus project. Sadly, through this coronavirus we have lost a few people we know not only to coronavirus but through being in lockdown itself. Such a sad balancing act. Anyway, yesterday I picked my first crop of the year, radishes, I have a vegetable cart to collect pumpkins and squashes and potatoes and carry plants about, Daisy loves to ride in it and yesterday was caught stealing the radishes off the back of the cart. I thought I'd get my camera out again now the Spring is finally here and my first few images are mainly of naughty Daisy. I will try and post regularly and catch up with all your images as and when I can. But I have quite the vegetable garden which takes some work and I am learning jazz piano, cooking dinners, walking Daisy and looking after my my precious boys, hoping your all well and safe and your losses have not been too heavy. Here's to a brighter future

This morning, Bonkers beat Assam's record for age (to the best that we can determine given the guess as to when Assam was born). We think Assam was born in September of 1998 and she died on 9 May 2017. Bonkers was born in September of 1999 and has just surpassed Assam's age (a little over 18 /12 years old). In about a week, he will surpass the amount of time he lived with us compared to Assam (we got her about a week before we got Bonkers).
Overall, Bonkers is doing well for his age. He takes thyroid and anti-seizure medicine twice a day as well as insulin twice a day, and sees the vet once a week for kidney treatments. He's healthier than Assam was at the same age. With lots of luck, he'll be around for a lot longer (we sincerely hope).
(When I said "he takes," I really meant "he is given" - he doesn't have a choice...)

Leo enjoyed the lovely day yesterday hanging out on the sunny side of the house.
His blood work came back, and has revealed a hyper-thyroid.
I started him on medication this a.m.
He has lost 3 lbs since December!!
.
The concern is that the hyper-thyroid might be masking more serious kidney problems.
We'll have to do more testing in about a month to see where we're at. The medication might need adjusting, and like I said, we have to keep a close eye on those kidneys.

Just a snapshot from St. Petersburg, Florida, where I went for surgery this week. I'm now light several large parathyroid tumors and part of my thyroid gland. But got a clean bill of health post surgery, so lot's to be thankful for
Our fluffy girl Tilly went over the rainbow bridge at 3:10pm, on Thursday the 10th of January, 2019. She had been suffering from an over active thyroid gland, high blood pressure, heart murmur and had a cancerous growth in her belly. My wife and I made the decision to put her to sleep as she had stopped grooming herself and started to lose weight even though she was eating quite well.
Tilly came to us at about four years of age after her owner left her behind when he closed his factory.
She was always an indoor cat and was happy to stay in the kitchen and dining room.
She is now buried in the backyard garden.
The above photo was taken on the 16th of July, 2017.
Baby was doing his best mountain lion imitation yesterday at the vet office. He growled and hissed like never before.
He had some blood work done and found out his thyroid is malfunctioning. He will be on thyroid medicine for life now.
I was trying to calm him down after all the poking and prodding, but he was having none of it. And guess what!!! We get to do this all over again in six weeks, lol.
Callie was a good girl riding in the Uber to the Vet for a 6 month checkup. Her thyroid and kidney scores were once again elevated, so we will be adjusting her medication and trying to keep her on a special renal supportive diet. 18.5 years of age, she is still doing quite well, despite these fairly typical challenges most feline elders face.
Unfortunately Sophie is unwell at the moment. She has lost about a kilo, which is alot for a cat due to a thyroid problem. Fortunately, our pet insurance will pay for Radio Active Iodine Treatment which will cure it completely. She seems brighter this morning however. Some people have criticized us for taking treatment this far. They think it's too much fuss for just a cat. But if you take on a pet you take on the responsibility for a living creature. The vet doesn't think she is suffering at the moment, and that is key to our decision to give her a chance of full recovery.
Ray has been having issues with his mouth recently so we took him to the vet today. He has a massive ulcer under his tongue which the vet said maybe treatable with antibiotics. Sadly there is a chance that it may be cancerous.. She has also given him pain relief. None of this has stopped Ray eating, probably because he has thyroid issues as well (he also has a heart murmur). We will see how he gets on and have a follow up appointment with the vet in a couple of weeks time, unless he deteriorates, Ray is 17 years old so age is not on his side. Fingers crossed that the meds work.
Sorry I haven't been visiting for a few weeks but I have been extremely tired. I found out the cause and I have to have my thyroid gland removed in a few weeks. Hopefully, I will start to get some energy then and not be too tired to go on Flickr.
I hope you have all been keeping well and enjoying yourselves.

After a day of driving through Yellowstone National Park last summer, we came back to Jackson Lake Lodge. Late that night we captured The Milkyway with The Grand Tetons in the distance. The sky was so dark yet so clear, I remember feeling like I could touch the stars and knowing that only our God could have created the skies and given the stars their names.
I was sick on this trip. My thyroid was constantly inflamed and we were waiting for answers and a consult to an endocrinologist in Fort Worth from my Face/Neck Doctor. I wondered the whole way into Moran, Wyoming where there was nothing (no hospitals, no urgent cares, no shopping, no restaurants) what I would do if I became increasingly symptomatic?
We have to trust the journey God puts in front of us. He has a plan and it is in His timing. We have to stay in our lane and remain faithful to the path He has set before us while trusting Him in each step of the journey.

jones has been feeling poorly these days, so I reduced his thyroid and we took him to the vet.
he seems healthy, but isn't adding weight.
today he kinda got back to his usual self...stealing paper towels off my bedside. and shredding them on the bed.
atta boy, jones!

Pops had his first check up today after three weeks on his thyroid medication - I am pleased to say the treatment is working. His kidney function is a bit high, as a result of this he has some new food and biccies! All being well (after a urine sample has been taken ...) Pops will hopefully continue to do well with his new regime. Here he is sitting wistfully on the windowsill waiting for the rain to stop ...
as we go thru life we face some darkness. I am in the darkness now as a problem I have been having with my eye, is boiling down to thyroid. The vision in my left eye is very blurry, and I do hope that I can find relief and that it can be helped. I also have light sensitivity, and working at the computer has become quite painful.
I do hope for healing thoughts and prayers as I face this uncertainty with my vision. Thank you.
In the darkness there is light.
Yes, I have been diagnosed after 6 months!! I have hyperthyroidism.
www.endocrineweb.com/conditions/hyperthyroidism/hyperthyr...
Following her unilateral thyroidectomy back in September, Mietze, it appears, has completely and permanently appropriated my bed; and with her thyroid levels having returned into the normal range, she now spends the best part of the day resting and lounging on my duvet.
Despite some initial and rather scary complications in the immediate aftermath of the procedure, Mietze is recovering well.
Took Ms Phoebe for a second opinion today. I wanted a thorough physical exam more than anything. The vet was super nice and met my expectations.
He commented on how incredibly healthy she is/looks for a 16 year old. He rechecked her thyroid, seems that the meds overcorrected the hyperthyroidism so we'll switch back to the original dosing before she got sick and recheck the levels in a few weeks.
He said she might have intestinal lymphoma base on history and recent symptoms and that she is benefiting from steroids. He agrees that it is way too invasive to put her through surgery/ biopsy at this age. So we will watch. Good experience overall, nice staff, and the fees are about 1/3 of the regular vet.
Thank you to everyone who has been asking about Ms Phoebe!

Lifers!
Yes, got the full profile, but without the degree of clarity he deserves!
Her tiredness and lack of appetite over the last 3 weeks have worried me a little. The vet has now found out that her thyroid medication is now too high, even though the dosage has been right for the last 2 years. Now i hope that she will soon become more active again. Fortunately, she has gained 300g in weight in the last 6 months.
Merci à ceux qui ont pris des nouvelles de Pistache.
Hier elle a eu une prise de sang, qui a l'étonnement général était très bon au niveau des valeurs thyroïdiennes. La dernière fois elles étaient mauvaises, mais je soupçonne qu'elle avait recraché son médicament (la prise de sang doit être faite 4 h après la prise du médicament).
Ca pourrait sembler être une bonne nouvelle, mais du coup ce n'est pas l'explication de son état : elle est déshydratée alors qu'elle boit beaucoup et a encore maigri (elle pèse 2kg390). Ses valeurs rénales sont parfaites elles aussi. Du coup il y a suspiçion de cancer. Je ne vais pas lui faire subir d'autres examens. Elle sera mise lundi sous cortisone en traitement palliatif. Bien entendu je ne la laisserai pas souffrir, mais là elle vient de faire un petit tour au jardin, donc tant qu'elle a la volonté de vivre on se battra ensemble. Maintenant la vétérinare était pessimiste, nous nous approchons inexorablement de la fin......
Thank you to those who have asked me news about Pistache.
Yesterday she had a blood test, which to everyone's astonishment was very good in terms of the thyroid values. The last time they were bad, but I suspect that she had spat out her medicine (the blood test must be done 4 hours after taking the medicine).
It might seem like good news, but now there isn’t any explanation of her condition: she is dehydrated even though she drinks a lot and has lost weight again (she weighs 2kg390). Her kidney values are also perfect. So there is suspicion of cancer. I'm not going to put her through more tests. She will be put on cortisone on Monday for palliative treatment. Of course I won't let her suffer, but she just came back from a little walk in the garden, so as long as she has the will to live, we'll fight together. Now the vet was pessimistic, we are inexorably approaching the end......
My sweet girl had a rough week so off we went to see the vet this morning. (Sorry Lucy, maybe tomorrow).
She's lost over a lb in the past month. I know part of it is missing her sister. Her thyroid values are off so we adjusted her methimazole dose, and she also has pancreatitis. I did not want to leave her so she got 2 shots and I'm hopeful this will help. She did eat better this afternoon.
I got her a new very soft bed when I was out doing errands this afternoon.. not as if she doesn't have a zillion beds but thought she would like something fresh and very soft. She loves it, and the price was right!
You can see how small Milu is next to big boy Kaiser. This also lets me know that she's unwell as she would never sleep near the other cats if she felt alright. The update is that she was kept in overnight - she was given laxatives and pain killers. She still hadn't eaten or passed a stool but the vet thought it best for her to come home as she was so stressed being there. Sure enough she ate a small amount on her return and went to the toilet. However, the bad news is that her thyroid levels are dangerously high so her medication has been change again. Unfortunately, the vet was not that positive so we will see how she goes over the next couple of days. Hopefully, she can turn a corner but it is a case of waiting to see what happens next to our sweet little girl
Having suffered with an overactive thyroid for many years, the medication just wasn't enough anymore. Very sadly missed R.I.P. Darling boy. 14 yrs and 4 months old. 1.8.2006 -31.12.2020

ZLATIBOR is a mountain of exquisite beauty. It has pleasant and mild climate, large clearings, exuberant pastures intersected with mountains with mountain streams and pine trees - which this mountain is named for.
The average hight is about 1000m above sea level.
Mountain and sea gulfs encounter here which speed up the curing and the recovering from large number of lung and heart illnesses, especially from illnesses of thyroid gland and anemia.
The Balkans is the historical name of a geographic region of southeastern Europe. The region takes its name from the Balkan Mountains, which run through the centre of Bulgaria into eastern Serbia. The region has a combined area of 550,000 km2 (212,000 sq mi) and a population of about 55 million people.
The ancient Greek name for the Balkan Peninsula was “the Peninsula of Haemus” (Χερσόνησος του Αίμου, Chersónisos tou Aímou).
The Balkans are adjoined by water on three sides: the Black Sea to the east and branches of the Mediterranean Sea to the south and west (including the Adriatic, Ionian, Aegean and Marmara seas).
The identity of the Balkans is dominated by its geographical position; historically the area was known as a crossroads of various cultures. It has been a juncture between the Latin and Greek bodies of the Roman Empire, the destination of a massive influx of pagan Slavs, an area where Orthodox and Catholic Christianity met, as well as the meeting point between Islam and Christianity.
The Balkans today is a very diverse ethno-linguistic region, being home to multiple Slavic, Romance, and Turkic languages, as well as Greek, Albanian, and others. Through its history many other ethnic groups with their own languages lived in the area, among them Thracians, Illyrians, Romans, Uzes, Pechenegs, Cumans, Avars, Celts, Germans, and various Germanic tribes.
The Balkan region was the first area of Europe to experience the arrival of farming cultures in the Neolithic era. The practices of growing grain and raising livestock arrived in the Balkans from the Fertile Crescent by way of Anatolia, and spread west and north into Pannonia and Central Europe.
In pre-classical and classical antiquity, this region was home to Greek city-states, Illyrians, Paeonians, Thracians, Epirotes, Mollosians, Thessalians, Dacians and other ancient groups. Later the Roman Empire conquered most of the region and spread Roman culture and the Latin language but significant parts still remained under classical Greek influence. During the Middle Ages, the Balkans became the stage for a series of wars between the Byzantine, Bulgarian and Serbian Empires.
wounds that seem the same over the years but mutate, but change, but hurt in a different way each day. They don't heal. They only change.
Here are pictures of Cosmo the cat taken during the month of March 2023 at home in Ypsilanti, Michigan. He is approaching his 17th birthday in early May, but last year, the vet noticed all sorts of old cat problems. He has cataracts, is on thyroid medicine and eating wet food - and that makes him very happy. Recently, he had a sore over his right eye. We are watching it and hoping it goes away.

A portrait of my buddy Boush (short for Taboushka) who was 20 years old in February, has few teeth, is deaf, has kidney and thyroid issues. He came to us as his previous long term owner was moving into a care home. If he did not get another home, the unthinkable was going to happen, so we took him in!
We were told he was not well but that was nearly two years ago. He has settled well and seems relatively fit. Despite his condition and seeing the vet regularly, he does not seem to moan much and is so giving and affectionate, a wonderful addition to the family.
Sadly Boush passed away on 09 Oct 2023, a great loss.
