I had forgotten about how much "utilize" sucks. Ban it!

HA! I'm so with you on all of these!

Cool, thanks I never knew this!

So much UGH in the original article.

Ugh what the heck is Crystal Hefner filling out that survey for? There are so many things that you should not tweet.

Thanks for your advice!

Congrats on going into remission! It's weird, I've also struggled with eating disorders too. I used to go off my medication to lose weight, which left me with some crappy side effects. I haven't had the iodine treatment but my doctor is trying to see if I'll get into remission right now. The labs aren't super…

I so rarely meet people with Graves! How long have you had it? I'm assuming you take medication for it and haven't had the iodine treatment?

Whew! I am so with you.

Clearly you are some kind of connoisseur of sexy men. Thanks for the list, especially Gael ;)

Dood I am with you.

AAhahahahaa cracked up at this!

Ah I get what you mean. I think you will get past it, especially once you start seeing your endo. It puts you at ease to have an expert validating your symptoms and assuring you that your thyroid condition is what's causing them. I had the benefit of being diagnosed as a kid and I was blissfully ignorant of most of…

That makes sense. And I hadn't thought of doing the pick-me-up as a routine right after therapy, but I think I'll have to make that a habit now. Thanks.

Thanks for your kind words! It sounds like you've had a positive experience with therapy and that's good to hear. And that reframing does help, I had honestly never thought of it that way before. It's like I'm not more messed up than I was before, but I'm just more aware of the anxiety and depression now.

LOL. Good to know that farting or burping will cure whatever crazy thing WebMD says you have! But ugh, that's kind of irresponsible of your doctor to go for that long insisting she knew what she was doing. Sounds like you're on the right track now. And I'm sure you're not a hypochondriac, but it does sound like you…

I don't have any experience with this (except the anxiety-ridden part) but I'm so, so sorry. I think you know that you should go see a doctor, and you should do that when you're ready. And even though the job may not be what you want, it may be a good excuse to get out of the house and busy yourself. Sometimes just…

Nothing to be afraid of at all! I've had Graves' disease (hyperthyroid) basically my whole life and I'm telling you that seeing an actual endocrinologist is the best thing for it. Like, my PCP knows what hyperthyroidism is, but my endocrinologist knows everything about it. Which is good because it's kind of obscure.…

Get it girl!
