Several weeks back, I got a flurry of violation notices. I considered closing my account - my repins aren’t anything to get wound up about. I didn’t know which ones they were either.

I googled it on a hunch: yes, Pinterest uses AI extensively for content moderation. 🫥 (AI slop is a problem too.)

I can relate. I blamed stress, pre-existing conditions, and aging before the diagnosis. Then the lab results proved I had new problems. 🫠

Yep, TED remains a thorn. I’ll do RAI for the last of the cancer, but my Endo hopes my TED improves before radiation makes it worse.

Eye surgery sounds scary.

How have you been since your TT? Did you get your Levothyroxine/Synthroid dose right?

I plan on asking my Endo if the berserk hormones made any lasting damage to my major organs, muscles etc. when I see them next. It sure feels like that for me too!

I’m sorry. 🥺 I likewise believe stress at a bad job triggered my Graves/TED in winter 2023. My TT last month revealed thyroid cancer too. My body feels hyper-aged. Reddit has some support subreddits, but I’m still too tired to engage; and I’ve met plenty of women with Hashimoto’s, but never Graves’!

When I closed my FB account in 2016, I took unwanted male stalking into account as one of the big perks for leaving.

I’m sorry this cyber creep stalked you. And yep, blocking is the way to go.

☹️ *hugs* I seriously wish bad jobs didn’t make the world go round on this dumb timeline of ours.

Did you hang in there? O_O

😥 I wish healthy upper management and work environments weren’t such effin’ unicorns.

Good luck! 💜 I remember your talking about this ages ago, so I know it’s must be an uphill battle to navigate.

Modern medicine can be so cool up until you factor in its severe barriers. 🤮

I have successfully scurried myself home! I'm home, I'm home! 💗

The right music when you need it most really can save your sanity at the worst of times. 🖤

Sorry you’re feeling like this. I’m not great shakes at living with our dumbest timeline either. 😞

It appears so! Thanks! Literally just learned my liver dysfunction disappeared overnight. That means I just need to get my calcium back up and see an Endo team one last time… then I can be cleared scurry home and rest (while scheduling way too many medical follow-ups for the next 2-8 weeks). 🥹

OK, the opiod wore off and my meds are a bit messed up. I’m running out of veins on my arms/hands for venipuncture. The lab bills alone will be terrifying.

Meanwhile, I’m making mental notes on the team’s mistakes. It may tip in my favor for final billing. Argh.

All the same, health is priceless.

And this is dumb, but my suite number is my favorite combination of numbers, lol.

This is a good mood. Holy shit. This is beyond what I expected so soon. 🥲

My blood pressure is consistently back to normal. For the first time since this all started.

I needed this forever ago. 😭😭😭

We took out the sniper tower that was my thyroid.

Oh, and I didn’t have protubing eyes with my TED, so there’s a chance I can wear contacts again in as little as 3 months!

Btw, the world’s worst case of bedhead belongs to me. The iodide seeped all towards the back of my short pixie and so did some drainage from my incision site.

Hopefully I can wet it down and force it to lay flat again when it’s time to go. I meant to pack a comb, but forgot (b/c brain fog).

🧠🕳️

I slept poorly last night, but slept great in between interruptions by medical staff all day long. Deepest, restful ZzZzzzz’s.

I went from trembling and struggling with panic all morning from Graves’ anxiety… to feeling like myself for the first time since the autoimmune bodies hijacked me. 🥹🥹🥹

I was supposed to go to a shared ward but I masked up and explained that my asthma always plunges off into bronchitis and pneumonia land if I catch a germ.

I didn’t ask for it, but I got the most amazing private suite instead. Hope I’m not charged obscenely for it, but damn… it’s a sweet suite. 🥹

Always. I want the name of this menacing phenomenon. It’s so mean!

I prefer to turn off autocorrect! I think I have it set so my phone offers spelling corrections, but I get to select it or keep my own spellings.

But yeah, my spelling has gotten dumb and highly untrustworthy ovet the past 5 years. I never notice until after I post or hit “Send”. ✌🏻

leadshership… Wow, I was seeing red when I tapped that out in a fit of fury. 🤣 I remember rage-correcting the bad spelling a couple times and it still came out wrong!
