Default Thanks one and all...

I think I was in the process of having a 'Bill The Cat' moment...remember those freaked out cat things w/suction cups on car windows? NOW I WANT ONE! I mean, how many folks in the world can have first HYPO thyroid, CIDP/PN [auto-immune no less], BC, and now maybe Hashimoto's [auto-immune as well]? I guess all the tests will tell, but in the meantime, it's been [INTERNAL] vibration city.

Bob I DO think I've got good docs, the thing has been trying to get these independent 'critters' [see Garrison Kellior's 'Songs of the Cat' for context] to work together.. I have been in the process of 'gently' bringing my whip and chair to the forefront...I simply haven't been able to get them to TALK to each other...some docs are beyond 'Stars' in that they f/u every visit with letters to key 'keepers' of my care. Others, well, NOT! BTW 'Hashimoto's' is essentially a shut-down of the thyroid which processes all of those wonderful extra vitamins and minerals and amino acids we can consume [and, heaven knows what else, they seem to keep it in the secret 'code book' somewhere].

For me, the impetus was the addition by the Ocon of an 'estrogen blocker' to deter future BC.. That, plus the anti-seizure med for the CIDP/PN has been doing a number on my bones. 4 fractures in 2 years 2 months, plus a quadrupling of dental costs due to enamel loss is getting a tad 'RICH'! Instant 'crown' has NOT been in my vocabularly untill now.

As I've said before...IF it's not one thing, it's another? [THANK YOU SNL!]

Thak you all for the shoulder...It's truly a very nice thing to have and be near! - j
