@hacks4pancakes wooooooo!

[xssfox@cloudisland.nz]

@hacks4pancakes doesn't seem like Australia to be solving problems but we'll take the win

[jmax@mastodon.social]

@hacks4pancakes Yay for stopping a med as unnecessary!

[gusseting@mastodon.social]

@hacks4pancakes That sounds huge! Congrats!

[hacks4pancakes@infosec.exchange]

I have Questions.

[pixelpusher220@dmv.community]

@hacks4pancakes As a 3rd gen hypothy just waiting to join the first two with thyroid cancer...did your Aussie doc speculate on a reason? (if you wish to share of course)

[hacks4pancakes@infosec.exchange]

@gusseting I’ve been battling hashimotos for ten years. I almost died.

[hasufin@mastodon.social]

@hacks4pancakes As do I! Did your endocrinologist have any explanation?

[azninsect@kind.social]

@hacks4pancakes dont worry about it.

for a while anyway.

[hacks4pancakes@infosec.exchange]

@pixelpusher220 no, but I’d speculate the medical and pharma industry being less willing to try in America being a factor.

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.

[grumpasaurus@infosec.exchange]

@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.
