Happy Valentine's Day, all.  I'm sure there are plenty of those "I have a heart on" shirt being dusted off for today.  Personally, earlier I wore one of my favorite '70s shirts (the terry one that used to belong to my dad) and my black velvet pants from Ben, pared with stupid heavy brown boots, although now I'm wearing an oversized Nordic sweater

Hey there,

I'm sorry you're still feeling upset about the hypothyroidism. I can understand that if you didn't really know much about it before, but actually something like 80% of women end up with it eventually- and it has nothing to do with being "sick" at all. I'm sure there are plenty of things that can scare you on webmd, but the truth of the matter is that you have been as sick as you're going to be. Taking the meds only makes you BETTER, so you're not some sick woman who Ben has been tricked into marrying. And chances are if he married someone else, she eventually would have thyroid disease at some point in her life too.

I don't want to minimize your feelings about it, but I also don't want you to get overly stressed out about something that is so treatable and common.

I don't know how much this helped but it was my intention to help the perspective!

Thanks so much for this reply. I got a lot out of it and feel better. I think part of it was getting this out of my system instead of keeping it bottled up, but without what you told me, the worry would still persist because there is so much I don't know. I didn't feel like you were minimizing as much as clearing up my misconceptions. As for webMD, it can scare the heck out of me sometimes, like everything is a crisis. I think another eason I was feeling out of sorts is I was coming down sick. I was sick all weekend, although Friday night everything went great for our V-day celebration. Today i went to the doctor and confirmed I have strep. Yay. Lots of Italian ice adn stuff for me. :)

Stripper DVD

Have you watched the strip tease excercise or is the plastic wrap still on it? I thought about buying it and ended up with the MTV yoga dvd. I prefer Inhale which aired on Oxygen channel. I don't know if it still does, it did come on at 6:00am but I'm never home in time to see it. I have like 5 different excercise dvds that I've never used. I like finding reasons not to do them, like oh I don't have enough room. Which would be true except all I'd have to do is move the coffee table a few feet. I just found out that cleaing, quite vigeriously also can count as excercise. So maybe I should scrubb all the floors, the bathroom, and kitchen twice a week. Talk about fun, nothing screams fun like house cleaning, and I don't have kids to clean up after, just Bart thought sometimes I think he's a kid. I wish you well with the medicine. Don't be like me a forget to take it like you should. I forget alot, lack of sleep or something. Dare I say its probably because I haven't been wearing my Bi-pap mask while sleeping?

I have it and have never watched. The DVD player needs cleaned, so i'd need to watch it on teh computer until I get the DVD player fixed, which may or may not give enough space. I wish I did enough housework to count it as exercise. I *hate* cleaning.

So far meds have been easy to remember. I put them out where I see them or else I would forget. Forgetting your mask? Sounds serious? What's it for? Sleep apnea?
