Hey Wee!
Yes, as a matter of fact I've been supplementing with a woman's glandular. But...it can't be used alone. In my research I discovered that even the Chinese practitioners of traditional Chinese medicine have their hypo-thyroid patients on thyroid/hormone. So there is no way around it for me.
I am also using Secretagogue-One. I'm doing better, leaning out steadily...in fact I just bought some clothes...and discovered when they arrived that they are in fact a tad too loose...meaning I'm down another size.
Past couple of weeks have been tough. On Mother's Day...the 'mother-of-my-heart' died. I was devastated as it was sudden and I never really got over losing her husband Sully (my mentor) and their daughter Mary...so to have Jean go was a rough blow to my heart. She was 86, but when you are not ready to lose someone you love and adore...it makes no difference.
The good news is: I was reunited with my three 'brothers-of-my-heart' and their now adult kids. I was very, very close to the family and losing contact with them was hard on me. But those who live or have lived with an abusive spouse know how easy it is to let yourself become secluded to keep the peace. Being reunited with my 'other' family at this time has been a blessing. I'm having a really hard time watching my beloved sister-in-law fade.
It's awful to say...but I often wish it was her brother (my husband) with the brain tumor and not her.
She's the most wonderful kind and giving person I know...he's such a selfish b*astard compared to her.)
(BTW...Sen. Kennedy was just diagnosed with the same condition/type of tumor my sis-in-law has.)
Anyhow...I've been getting in my lifting, MA and hiking when I can. My middle son and his family are here for another week, they arrived the day after Jean's funeral. So having my grandies here has been keeping me from turning into myself over the loss of Jean...and that's a good thing.
I go back for blood work again soon. I think I'm going to let Kim send me to the specialist. We've upped my Armour. I feel a lot better...but I'm still dragging badly mid-day most days and it's driving me nuts!
Oh! BTW...I've been kicking butt with my bo staff work and I start my broad sword work soon! My son laughed his ass off and shook his head, "Jeez mom,
another weapon?" Heh...I guess when you grow up with a mom that can kick your butt with firearms, recurves and compound bows and you finally whip her butt (took them both well into their teens)...I guess it's a bit amusing to find out that she took on new weapons training!
Off to lift...have a good 'un.
