One year in Australia and my chronic thyroid disease has resolved itself and my endocrinologist has successfully pulled me off medication.

@Hasufin not really, but they were willing to be less medication focused here and try

@hacks4pancakes I was going to joke about fluoride in our water but a quick Google _might_ suggest there's something there lol

[grumpasaurus@infosec.exchange]

@hacks4pancakes congratulations!

@hacks4pancakes
I had thyroid cancer.
I had no idea what your thyroid does for you.
Happy you are getting some relief.
I've had a bit of a journey myself

I have US Born but 1/2 Kiwi nieces who absolutely swear US food is basically poison and I can't really say they're wrong. They moved there in their teenage years and say they always feel less healthy when they have to return.

@hacks4pancakes yeah seriously. What was in the water in Chicago

[womble@infosec.exchange]

@hacks4pancakes there's Hashimoto's in my family, and I too have Questions.

@hacks4pancakes @gusseting less stress, better food?

[darwinwoodka@mastodon.social]

@hacks4pancakes

wow, how does that work?

[gusseting@mastodon.social]

@hacks4pancakes as a middle aged woman dealing with a laundry list of symptoms including fatigue, hairloss, bad concentration, muscle/joint pain + stiffness etc etc, kudos to you for getting a diagnosis + treatment and continuing on despite your symptoms.

[hacks4pancakes@infosec.exchange]

@gusseting the joint pain was probably the most debilitating

[hacks4pancakes@infosec.exchange]

@grumpasaurus a fuck ton of chlorine

[hacks4pancakes@infosec.exchange]

@AG100pct I’m so glad it’s treatable and you beat it. It ruins every aspect of your life

[grumpasaurus@infosec.exchange]

@hacks4pancakes no kidding

@hacks4pancakes I find travel ridiculously stressful, but every time I go to Europe my high blood pressure resolves itself within days.

I also have Questions.

[hacks4pancakes@infosec.exchange]

@darwinwoodka fuck if I know. I was sick for a decade

[d_rift@beige.party]

@hacks4pancakes Like what unlisted superfund site were you living on before; damn. Very glad it improved but that's kinda a huge change.

[hacks4pancakes@infosec.exchange]

@xssfox both countries fluoridate (at least until RFK bans it) and my teeth thank them

[me@f3d1.thom.cat]

@hacks4pancakes it's the footy

[hacks4pancakes@infosec.exchange]

@d_rift to be fair hyperthyroidism can resolve itself it’s not a medical miracle. But it was a ten year sticky battle for me
