Ok ...I actually hate these....but I will do it just for you Gary! LOL
I was tagged by: GARY
I guess the object is to come up with 10 things that my contacts do not know about me! So here it goes!!!!!
1. I absolutely hate talking about myself, never liked it, never will, I guess that stems from being a mother and a wife...I have better things to talk about, so this will be very difficult for me, so much so, that I debated on not doing it at all, but I finally decided to do it anyway.
2. I have thyroid disease, so I forget alot of things. I don't remember alot of my days as a child through highschool, so things have stuck, but not many...I do however remember that I hated high school, I hated the people games teenagers play, still despise mind games...just say what you mean and then leave it the hell alone!
3. I'm a straight forward type of person...in other words if you ask me something...I'm going to tell you! So, don't ask me if you look fat in your clothes...cuz....well, you know!
4. I wrote a thriller/horror novel (495 pages) and had it copyrighted 5 years ago, although it is still sitting on my desk collecting dust, because I'm too damn lazy to edit it! I love to write, just hate the editing part...I'm not good at it! LMAO
5. OMG...I'm only on 5!! I only truely like one author... John Saul
I only read horror, its the only damn thing that keeps my attention long enough to finish a book. I love horror movies (not slasher movies...there is a difference.) My favorite shows on TV are Supernatural, Medium, Heros, Lost, Ghost Whisperer and House!
I'm a supernatural freak and would absolutely love to stay in an acclaimed haunted place for a while! LMAO...I would probably piss myself if something really happened!
6. Lets see....I'm running out...lol I'll go back in time...I lifted weights all through high school (and practically looked like a guy) for the girls basketball team. I was leading rebounder my junior and senior year and started both JV and Varisty...and no I'm not that tall...I'm 5'7...I was just one of the meanest on the court. I fouled out of almost every game...geeze...to me...girls basketball was a high contact sport...hehehehehehehehehe
7. In high school and college I had a job as a Bouncer at a club and yes I can still lay grown men out , but people don't fight with with fists anymore and I refuse to weapons, don't like them...if you can't lay me out with a fist...you're not worth fighting! So needless to say...I don't do that anymore unless really pushed and it takes a lot to piss me off, I'm very laid back and usually nothing gets to me! I quit lifting weights for bulk after high school, but kept lifing until the age of 24.
8. Out of college, I never used my degree...I became a live-in nanny for years with the same family...the money was better and I kept my club job on the weekends.
9. I twirled baton from the age of the 3 until out of high school, won competitions and was a majorette in high school and yes...I can still twirl the damn thing!
10. Thank God I'm on 10~ I'm stuck though....lol
Ok...I'll go here...I have a special needs daughter who is my miracle rock! She keeps me hopping that's for sure! She was diagnosed with Kabuki Syndrome combined with high functioning Charge Syndrome, ontop of Aspergers. There are some months we practically live at childrens hospital with all the Dr and therapy appts. She had open heart surgery at the age of 5 months, she has had eye surgery and many ear surgeries (just for tubes.) She's moderately deaf and we used sign language to communicate because her hearing was like she was hearing under water! We never knew she couldn't hear until she was four because she taught herself to read lips. She finally started speaking at the age of 4 and 1/2 after hearing aids. She has no depth perception...which means everything looks flat! stairs look like ramps, curbs aren't there and she memorizes every step she takes! Ok...there are too many other things to list, so we'll just say...she is mainstreamed in a regular 6th grade room, learning everything the other kids are and she is a "B" - "C" student...which in turn to me...means she's an "A" Kid!!!!!
OK...so now you know 10 things about me that would have never known...now its my turn to tag 5 people. HMMMMMM
So I'll tag....

I have low thyroid,so my doctor put me on thyroid hormones. If you've experieced that,then you know you can gain weight,and be very tired till the meds kick in. I kept wondering why I was gaining weight when I was eating the same as usual.
I felt like Miss Hippo here !
Taken two days after surgery. This doctor used stitches instead of staples. The scar is slightly smaller and a lot more comfortable.
Surgery took about 3 1/2 hours because my thyroid was very goitered and entangled in my neck. I also had a cyst that was growing on my esophagus. The Pathology report hasn't come back on the cyst results, but it's expected to be benign.
By thyroid and kidney problems, loss of "here Kelev", Tama didn't wanted and couldn't fight anymore. We miss our beautiful girl. We lost within one month our Kelev and Tama ... So proud and honored we had them both.
This is the reality of my life. Rheumatoid Arthritis. I've been diagnosed with it for about 5 years now. It was the second autoimmune disease that was discovered (the first being Hasimoto's Disease of the thyroid). They don't really know what triggers RA, all they've told me is that it's there in your DNA and something kickstarts it, like a bad cold. I do remember getting a really bad flu while I was living in the UK about a year before I noticed everything start, so maybe that was it. All I know is that my body hates me. My immune system doesn't function the way it should, it attacks my body because it can't distinguish between what's "me" and what's foreign - as far as my blood cells are concerned they're fighting the good fight, preventing my body from getting sick, but boy do they have it wrong!
At first I was half convinced they'd diagnosed me wrong, I barely had any symptoms, and then when things became apparent it was well managed by medications as it'd been caught early on.
But it seems my body too readily adjusts with medications. What was once effective suddenly doesn't cut the mustard anymore. When I left for my lengthy holiday in Canada I was feeling the best I had in years, but during the duration of my stay everything reversed itself. I wasn't getting the specialist treatment I needed and things got out of control. And it was certainly a shock to the system I can tell you. There were days that it was agony to get out of bed and put my feet on the floor. I just couldn't stand up. Getting up from a seat would take me numerous attempts and lots of psyching myself up, dependent on armrests to pull myself up. I was having trouble with everyday activities. Getting dressed and brushing my hair was sometimes a chore. I'd have to take stairs one at a time. Forget about going faster than a snail's pace when walking. Opening a jar? Forget it!
All those little things that people take for granted. And I hated having to ask people to help me. I tried to hide it from people as much as I could, didn't want them to know the extent of how bad things were. I hated feeling like a cripple and being dependent on someone else. I hated not being able to join in fun things that other people would organise. Even now I'm amazed at the support and patience of my ex-boyfriend as he helped me through this time when I was away from home and not sure how to cope with it all, even though I tried to hide it as much as possible from him too because I didn't want him to get frustrated with me.
It took me over a year of specialist 'attention' to get to the stage where I could even think about starting to work again once I arrived back home in Australia. I say attention loosely as I'd only ever see the specialist once every 3 months or so as she monitored my progress with different medications - hmmm, that one isn't doing what we'd like it to, so let's gradually take you off that and start you on this and see how we go.... that one doesn't work? Making you feel sick with all the side effects? Ok, we'll put you on this one, but before you can start that you'll need to go on a trial of this drug and see if you meet the requirements necessary to start this particular treatment.
But finally we've found something that's doing the best of them so far. Things still aren't 100%, and there's all the inevitable side effects to deal with, but it's a very far cry from where I started! I can now bend my knees and have a full grip (before i could only half close my fist because the swelling on my joints was so very bad), i can move without pain and the swelling has gone down. My energy levels might still wax and wane, but I can actually go out and do things and not get too tired and sore and don't need to spend the next day suffering from my 'excess'.
But it's a bit of a love/hate relationship with the medication that allows me this new freedom. I expect that diabetics are in much the same boat. Injections. And I HATE NEEDLES!!!! It's only once a fortnight, but I face the day of the injection with much dread. My father was talking to a friend that's a diabetic and he said that as it's a daily ritual for him he's completely used to it and can do it in a flash, but he felt that if he was in my situation when there is as long a break inbetween doses he'd be as traumatised as I feel. It's self-administered, but ever since the first time I did it and almost blacked out I always make sure that someone's there with me when I do it. In the end that person (my father) has become the person to push the needle because he was getting too frustrated with me psyching myself up to do it! The button to press to inject the med is quite stiff, and each time I'd pace my breathing and press down on it I'd find out that I didn't actually manage to do it and would have to start the whole process again. Call me a coward, but as I said I HATE needles, and the anticipation of the pain is just as bad as the pain itself!
But this is pretty much the story of my life from here on in. RA is for life. It's just a matter of managing it and not allowing it to progress and cause disfigurement. So far I've been lucky on that score, although my joints have little 'nibbles' in them that will never heal. I've heard various reports in the papers about Australian and UK research that says they've found a cure, but I'll believe that when I see it! I personally would be surprised if the pharmaceutical companies would allow such a thing to go on sale when they can make so much money on drugs to manage the disease. And trust me, there's a LOT of money in managing this condition! You'd be shocked how much just a single injection costs!
But still I'll live in hope that one day I won't need to do these hated injections ever again!

Kleo in 12 1/2 now, getting up there in years. We noticed she'd lost some weight on her last Vet visit in May and just brought her back in to see if she'd lost more weight. She had. She'd lost almost a pound, a lot for a cat in just a few months. Her thyroid levels had gone down in those months and while they are borderline we're waiting on the results of another thyroid test to see if that's what is causing the loss. Getting old sucks. :(

In March 1979, an accident at the Three Mile Island nuclear facility near Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, led FDA to arrange emergency provisions of potassium iodide for one million residents to block thyroid uptake in the event of accidental release of radioactive iodine. The medicine never had to be used.

This is a very unusual case of metastatic papillary thyroid carcinoma. PTC metastases to lung are common, but this one grew entirely as an endobronchial lesion, mimicking a papilloma.

Tattoos and external piercings (earrings, nipple rings, clitoral barbells, etc) are for wimpy pussies. I invented this new path to REAL BADASSERY out of need. Internal piercings will soon become the rage. I set trends and now I’ve redefined Bad Ass for a new fearless generation. As soon as my underground surgeon get’s back in town, I’m getting a massive five-pronged multi-headed platinum barbell with titanium rivets internally stapled to connect the two pyramidal lobes of my thyroid gland. See below how it will kinda look. I can fondle it & squeeze extra hormonal juices into my blood stream. And the ladies love it!

Laura is very tired and ready to go the doctor to check out her thyroid levels. Suspect a problem with hypothyroid stuff
Well differentiated follicular thyroid carcinoma.The cells lining the follicles do not exhibit any features that are usually associated with malignancy.
When hypothyroidism commences, a number of factors take place, ordinarily little by little. The very first is lack of energy and ambition. You just look to get rid of drive for activities you’ve enjoyed in the earlier. You experience unusually tired and apathetic, but are unable to...

Psammoma bodies can occur anywhere there are papillary structures, including neoplasms (serous ovarian tumors, papillary carcinoma of the thyroid gland), reactive states (endosalpingiosis), and even normal tissues, as seen here in normal choroid plexus in an ovarian teratoma.

Extramediastinal (ectopic) thymomas are rare and may occur in the neck, trachea, thyroid, lung and pleura. This case is an example of a pleural based thymoma.
A higher magnification view of one of the pale staining areas shows round and spindle cells intermixed with very few lymphocytes.

This is an unusual variant of follicular neoplasm of the thyroid gland. It has been described in follicular adenomas, however, this lesion did show destructive capsular invasion.

This CT scan shows a large, ovoid, left sided mass that appears to be attached to the parietal pleura.
The thyroid is an important endocrine gland. It sits with its butterfly shape on the anterior neck region, lying on the larynx and trachea midway between the thyroid cartilage and the suprasternal notch, at the level of C5-T1 vertebrae. Thyroid is affected primarily by disease conditions which are variously classified and are not uncommon worldwide. They could lead to enlargement of the thyroid gland thereby earning the designation “goiter”. Globally, iodine deficiency has been identified as a major cause of goiter. This was a descriptive retrospective study of consecutive cases of thyroid specimen analyzed at the Histopathology Department of the Jos University Teaching Hospital, Jos, Nigeria, between January 2008 and December 2017. The aim of this work is to study thyroid disorders histologically, relating these findings to age and sex, and comparing same with previous reports.
The Hospital’s Medical records and the Histopathology Departments served as sources for extraction of patient’s data which included age, sex, and histological diagnosis. Archival slides were reviewed to confirm the diagnosis of the thyroid lesion.
Three hundred and eleven (311) cases of thyroid disease were diagnosed histologically at the Jos University Teaching Hospital during the study period. These lesions were broadly classified into developmental anomalies, hyperplasias, immune/inflammatory diseases, and neoplasm. They accounted for 1.9% (6 cases), 81.3% (253 cases), 3.9% (12 cases), and 12.9% (40 cases) of all cases respectively. The age range of the study population was 1 year to 70 years, with a mean age of 41.2±12.0 SD, and peak incidence at 30 years to 39 years. There were 25 males and 286 females making a male female (M/F) ratio of 1:10.2.
Thyroid disorders are essentially a female disease in our environment occurring commonly in the third and fourth decade of life.
