Frankie sitting under my office lamp. His eyes are a deep navy blue and I can never capture the true beauty of them - because he blinks or turns away. In this case, the lighting was just not right.
She starts to do well and I lower her diuretics, but then the problems with the toxic fumes from the neighbours will get us and I'm too slow to get her inside. And she deteriorates immediately. I was on the phone when it happened about 4 days ago. She is back on maximum dose diuretics as a result.
I have now relocated all the cats to a temporary home until I can find us a home to move to. I sleep there and feed them but I don't have internet access. I only moved them last night.
I had Josie's blood tested on Saturday. They were good. Her thyroid is 35. Over 60 is hyperthyroid. Her T4 in march was 87. She still needs her heart medication. I'm hoping that in the new environment, her heart thickening may reverse. (it is unlikely)
Ideally her T4 should be under 30. There is a chance that over 30 is pre hyperthyroid.
I put this triptych together of our three cats who after terrible beginnings in their lives are all doing well even though Lily has recently developed thyroid problems.
Lily has one blue and one golden eye. Tommy is a ginger tom and Zelda has green eyes. All of them are in my pets album.
I experimented with a digital pencil sketch on Lily's image and converted the other two to mono.
This is shaping up to be a real doozy of a week...
I have an appointment for an emergency root canal tomorrow afternoon, then more fasting blood tests for diabetes, thyroid test, and cancer checks early on Wednesday morning.
Hopefully, Hit Girl and Nurse Misery here have got my back. :/
Fucus vesiculosus, known by the common name bladder wrack or bladderwrack, is a seaweed found on the coasts of the North Sea, the western Baltic Sea, and the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, also known by the common names black tang, rockweed, bladder fucus, sea oak, black tany, cut weed, dyers fucus, red fucus, and rock wrack. It was the original source of iodine, discovered in 1811, and was used extensively to treat goitre, a swelling of the thyroid gland related to iodine deficiency.
I have been sickly nowadays and also very busy making arrangement for my mother's assistant living home. Yesterday, she finally moved to the assistant living home about 200 miles from Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear plant. I still need to do some legal works for my mother. I hope I will be able to reunite with my family in the U.S.A. soon.
The situation of nuclear disaster here is getting worse.
On April 19th, the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) notified the Board of Education and related institutions in Fukushima Prefecture to raise annual radiation exposure limit from 1mSv to 20 mSv.
20 mSv per year is comparable to the legally recognized dose for inducing leukemia in nuclear power plant workers. It is also comparable to the maximum dose allowed for nuclear power plant workers in Germany.
If the government allows 20 mSv per year for the children. Most likely many of them will get thyroid cancer in the future like the children in Chernobyl.

The International Commission on Radiological Protection recommends that all radiation exposure be kept as low as achievable, and for the public, on top of background radiation and any medical procedures, should not exceed 1 mSv per year.
For nuclear industry workers, they recommend a maximum permissible annual dose of 20 mSv averaged over five years, with no more than 50 mSv in any one year.
However, on April 19th, the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) notified the Board of Education and related institutions in Fukushima Prefecture to raise annual radiation exposure limit from 1mSv to 20 mSv. This is way to high for the children.

Bonkers on the bed soon after I gave him his nightly medicine (anti-seizure and thyroid medicines, if I remember correctly). We give the cats medicine using a large syringe for oral dosages, some Bonkers drools a little bit of it sometimes...
Anyway, he looked a little lonely when I took his picture. The other four cats are downstairs and he wants us (Naomi and me) to go upstairs with him.
Here is the "Franken Puss" - snoozing away. He is a gentle old boy. He is on medication for life (Hyper Thyroidism). He is 15 years old - a lynx point siamese cross. Gentle and Regal Looking. I took him from a mission shelter at age 6. I will look after my old boys forever and ever. My late sister, Elizabeth was with me - and she named them both when we were driving back from Mission.
Frankie misses my beloved Bugsy, he looks for him still. It breaks my heart.

J'ai été chez le vétérinaire avec elle mercredi pour son vaccin et pour lui faire raccourcir les griffes. Vu son âge, 14 ans, la vétérinaire a pris du sang après une séance manucure et pédicure très mouvementée, Poussy ayant décidé qu'elle n'était pas d'accord. Elles se sont mis à 4 après lui avoir mis un linge sur la tête pour couper ses ongles, c'est la 1ère fois qu'elle réagissait ainsi ! Mon ancien vétérinaire est décédé et lui, il faisait cela en 30 secondes !!!
Bref, les analyses signalent un problème de thyroïde que je dois surveiller et faire re-contrôler dans 3 ou 6 mois. Je ne sais pas si cela est dû à son âge ou autre chose.
Je vais me documenter sur cette maladie qui, selon les symptômes décrits par une assistante au téléphone le lendemain, ne semblent pas rassurants : vomissements, amaigrissement, diarrhée, grande soif, miaulements. A part la diarrhée, elle a parfois ces symptômes ... que j'ai attribués aux grandes chaleurs que nous avons eues cet été.
Cette visite chez le vétérinaire ne s'étant pas bien passée pour elle, Poussy me fait la tête et elle boude sérieusement, mais elle vient quand même dormir avec moi heureusement.
Ces nouvelles me perturbent un peu, mais je vais faire avec en espérant que ma Poussy vive longtemps, longtemps car elle est très précieuse à mon coeur.
Bon week-end à vous mes Ami(e)s
---
I have been to the vet with her Wednesday for its vaccine and to make it shorter claws. Given her age, 14, the vet took blood after an eventful manicure and pedicure session Poussy having decided that it was not okay. They are set to 4 after having put a towel over your head to cut his nails is the first time she reacted well! My previous vet and he died, he made it in 30 seconds!
In short, the analyzes indicate a thyroid problem that I must monitor and re-check in 3 or 6 months. I do not know if this is due to age or something else.
I'm reading about this disease that the symptoms described by an assistant on the phone the next day, does not seem reassuring: vomiting, weight loss, diarrhea, thirst, meowing. Apart from diarrhea, she sometimes has these symptoms ... I attributed to extreme heat we had this summer.
This visit to the vet who was not gone well for her, Poussy me head and she sulks seriously, but she is still sleep with me happily.
These new disturb me a bit, but I'm hoping to do with my Poussy live long, long time because she is very precious to my heart.
Enjoy your weekend my Friends

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.

I have Hashimoto's, an auto-immune disorder which is the cause of my hypothyroidism. Because Hashimoto's only attacks the thyroid and because COVID-19 is new, it is unknown if it puts me at a higher risk. Hypothyroidism is an endocrine disorder, and is related to diabetes. Thyroid disease can interfere with the body’s metabolism and can alter blood sugar levels which can increase the risk of developing diabetes. Having diabetes does put a person in the higher risk group.
Thursday, I went on a 2-mile walk. When I got back to my house, I had trouble breathing and was coughing. And because one of my co-workers had been in England 3 weeks ago, I went into panic mode. After a panicked phone call to my doctor, I texted my co-worker and found that they were not sick. After I calmed down, I realized that the pain in my lungs was the same as when I had bronchitis back in December. I could feel my bronchial tubes, a bizarre tight-feeling upside down Y in my chest. Using the inhaler my doctor gave me back in December helped relieve the tightness.

I have never seen or heard about this creature so I figured I would show you one!! Though to get a clear picture through the glass but here we are!
Mietze was sadly diagnosed with Hyperthyroidism at the end of October / beginning of November.
This was taken on the first day after she started feeling better, following her adverse reactions to Vidalta, an oral anti-thyroid drug.
Initially, she appeared to tolerate it, but after ten days she started vomiting (including blood). It's taken her around a month to return to her pre-Vidalta condition.
She is doing ok at the moment and was assessed for I131 (radioactive Iodine), which is another, possibly the only, conventional treatment option for her.
We are considering the options available to us and feed on demand (within reason), catering for her increased appetite, which is one of the more obvious signs of the condition.
I recieved an email with this advice, it sounds like good advice does anyone know for sure??

Dr. Vinay Goyal is an MBBS,DRM,DNB (Intensivist and Thyroid specialist) having clinical experience of over 20 years. He has worked in institutions like Hinduja Hospital , Bombay Hospital , Saifee Hospital , Tata Memorial etc. Presently, he is heading our Nuclear Medicine Department and Thyroid clinic at Riddhivinayak Cardiac and Critical Centre, Malad (W).
The following message given by him, I feel makes a lot of sense and is important for all to know
The only portals of entry are the nostrils and mouth/throat. In a global epidemic of this nature, it's almost impossible to avoid coming into contact with H1N1 in spite of all precautions. Contact with H1N1 is not so much of a problem as proliferation is.
While you are still healthy and not showing any symptoms of H1N1 infection, in order to prevent proliferation, aggravation of symptoms and development of secondary infections, some very simple steps, not fully highlighted in most official communications, can be practiced (instead of focusing on how to stock N95 or Tamiflu):
1. Frequent hand-washing (well highlighted in all official communications).
2. "Hands-off-the-face" approach. Resist all temptations to touch any part of face (unless you want to eat, bathe or slap).
3. *Gargle twice a day with warm salt water (use Listerine if you don't trust salt)... *H1N1 takes 2-3 days after initial infection in the throat/ nasal cavity to proliferate and show characteristic symptoms. Simple gargling prevents proliferation. In a way, gargling with salt water has the same effect on a healthy individual that Tamiflu has on an infected o ne. Don't underestimate this simple, inexpensive and powerful preventative method.
4. Similar to 3 above, *clean your nostrils at least once every day with warm salt water. *Not everybody may be good at Jala Neti or Sutra Neti (very good Yoga asanas to clean nasal cavities), but *blowing the nose hard once a day and swabbing both nostrils with cotton buds dipped in warm salt water is very effective in bringing down viral population.* Neti pots and sinus rinse kits are available at the drug store and relatively inexpensive….under $15.
5. *Boost your natural immunity with foods that are rich in Vitamin C (Amla and other citrus fruits). *If you have to supplement with Vitamin C tablets, make sure that it also has Zinc to boost absorption.
6. *Drink as much of warm liquids (tea, coffee, etc) as you can. *Drinking warm liquids has the same effect as gargling, but in the reverse direction. They wash off proliferating viruses from the throat into the stomach where they cannot survive, proliferate or do any harm.
In this image: Poorly differentiated follicular thyroid cells shortly before launch. The cells were then exposed to microgravity aboard the International Space Station for the Cellbox-Thyroid investigation.
From the article: The multi-national efforts that go into research aboard the International Space Station show that working together can yield results with universal benefits. This is especially the case when talking about human health concerns such as cancer. Researchers make use of the microgravity environment aboard the space station to seek answers to questions about the nature of cancer cells. With the Microgravity on Human Thyroid Carcinoma Cells (Cellbox-Thyroid) study, recently conducted in orbit, the hope is to reveal answers that will help in the fight against thyroid cancer.
The American Cancer Society estimates about 62,980 cases of thyroid cancer in the U.S. for 2014. The thyroid is a gland in the neck that secretes hormones that help the body to regulate growth and development, metabolism, and body temperature. The Cellbox-Thyroid study is enabled through a collaborative effort between NanoRacks, Airbus Defense and Space, the German Aerospace Center (DLR) and the Center for the Advancement of Science in Space (CASIS) to facilitate the microgravity investigation aboard the space station.
“NanoRacks is hosting this German research study aboard the U.S. National Laboratory,” said Jeff Manber, CEO of NanoRacks. “It may well make critical advances in understanding and even delaying the onset of cancer in the thyroid.”

surgeon re-ultrasounded my neck and it looks like my thyroid cancer has recurred. I would like to read or make a mini comic on what you should physically do after getting bad news. I don't think you're supposed to run around buying things but it's what I've done every time.

Our slightly-built little Tabby cat passed peacefully away this morning; he was just over 15 years.
Although he'd had a Thyroid problem for some time, that was well controlled by medication.
The first sign of a serious downturn in his health occurred only yesterday evening, and we promptly rushed him to the Emergency After Hours Vet - who confirmed what we had already guessed: his time was now extremely limited.
He was given medication to help him through the night, but by this morning he was in an extremely bad way, and so it was that we made our way to the local Vet to say our goodbyes to him...!
Velcro was a very loving, very affectionate little cat who gave an awful lot of Love to anyone he came in contact with. He will be missed.
Rest in Peace, Little Guy, and thank you for being you...!

Thanks so much for the very kind and encouraging comments beneath this photo...! Your support is always greatly appreciated.

Over the past couple of months, I've been battling thyroid cancer. I haven't talked about it here, but it's been what I've been dealing with. I had surgery in March followed by radiation treatment here in May. I've found the best way for me to combat the side effects of the radiation (mainly just a sick/exhausted feeling) has been to get out and be in the woods. So on this particular day, I took a ten mile bike ride on the Great Allegheny Passage from Ohiopyle toward Connellsville. About four miles from Ohiopyle, I came across this nice unnamed falls which looked great thanks to some heavy recent rainfall. Made the perfect spot for a break! Shot with my Fuji X100S, which I started carrying with me on these ventures again. Love that little camera.
Right now bambi is having her thyroid removed,please pray all goes well.Here I am giving her some love !
.... or a bad case of thyroiditis?
(Of course, it may be more than coincidental that the thyroid is a butterfly shaped gland in the neck.)

Formerly known as the Nevada Proving Grounds, the site was established on 11 January 1951 for the testing of nuclear devices, covering approximately 1,360 square miles (3,500 km2) of desert and mountainous terrain. Nuclear testing at the Nevada Test Site began with a 1-kiloton-of-TNT (4.2 TJ) bomb dropped on Frenchman Flat on 27 January 1951. Many of the iconic images of the nuclear era come from the NTS.
During the 1950s, the mushroom clouds from the 100 atmospheric tests could be seen for almost 100 mi (160 km). The city of Las Vegas experienced noticeable seismic effects, and the distant mushroom clouds, which could be seen from the downtown hotels, became tourist attractions. St. George, Utah, received the brunt of the fallout of above-ground nuclear testing in the Yucca Flats/Nevada Test Site. Winds routinely carried the fallout of these tests directly through St. George and southern Utah. Marked increases in cancers, such as leukemia, lymphoma, thyroid cancer, breast cancer, melanoma, bone cancer, brain tumors, and gastrointestinal tract cancers, were reported from the mid-1950s through 1980. The vast majority of nuclear tests, 828 in all, were underground.
From 1986 through 1994, two years after the United States put a hold on full-scale nuclear weapons testing, 536 anti-nuclear protests were held at the Nevada Test Site involving 37,488 participants and 15,740 arrests, according to government records.
Those arrested included the astronomer Carl Sagan and the actors Kris Kristofferson, Martin Sheen, and Robert Blake.
The Nevada Test Site contains 28 areas, 1,100 buildings, 400 miles (640 km) of paved roads, 300 miles of unpaved roads, ten heliports, and two airstrips.
The test site offers monthly public tours, often fully booked months in advance. Visitors are not allowed to bring in cameras, binoculars, or cell phones, nor are they permitted to pick up rocks for souvenirs.
While there are no longer any explosive tests of nuclear weapons at the site, there is still subcritical testing, used to determine the viability of the United States' aging nuclear arsenal. Additionally, the site is the location of the Area 5 Radioactive Waste Management Complex, which sorts and stores low-level radioactive waste that is not transuranic and has a half life not longer than 20 years. Bechtel Nevada Corporation (a joint venture of Lockheed Martin, Bechtel, and Johnson Controls) ran this complex until 2006. Several other companies won the bid for the contract since and combined to form a new company called National Security Technologies, LLC (a joint venture of Northrop Grumman, AECOM, CH2M Hill, and Nuclear Fuel Services). AECOM, known earlier as Holmes and Narver, held the Nevada Test Site contract for many years before Bechtel Nevada Corp. had it.
The Radiological/Nuclear WMD Incident Exercise Site (T-1), which replicates multiple terrorist radiological incidents with train, plane, automobile, truck, and helicopter props is located in Area 1, at the former site of tests EASY, SIMON, APPLE-2, and GALILEO.

Tigger's lab results are in. He doesn't have diabetes or thyroid problems. That leaves an intestinal disease which keeps him from absorbing nutrients, or cancer.
Please continue to pray for my kitty. He's a good boy and I'm not ready to lose him, but my funds are limited and chemo, should it be necessary, is out of the question. Pray that I have enough to cover whatever his treatment involves. I'd like to see him completely HEALED!
Thanks for your concern and good wishes, but especially your prayers.
Chris
Nearly twenty years of sinus problems and an upcoming thyroid surgery have me looking outside the box ( or - kennel, as it were ) for solutions to my problems! Now - this concept leaves me with a full head of hair and better looking to boot. Added bonus - my lovely wife, Windchiime, loves dogs, especially Golden Retrievers. Woohoo!

Pediment-shaped gold diadem, part of the Madytos Jewelry.
This group of jewelry is said to have come from a tomb at Madytos on the European side of the Hellespont, in the Thracian Chersonesos. The gold diadem is richly worked in repoussé with an elaborate floral pattern. Dionysos, the god of wine, and his wife, Ariadne, sit in the center; muses playing musical instruments perch among the vines and along the sides. The tiny figure of a muse playing a lyre also appears just above the crescent form on each of the boat-shaped earrings. The seed-like pendants of the earrings are identical to those on the elaborate necklace.
Amazing the detail on such a small scale, from the bead and egg and dart borders, to the little birds beneath the central characters.
Greek, ca. 330-300 BCE.
