Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant.
I found my missing vape. It was under the couch.
I think what I shall do (I have been pondering) is just let my doc test my thyroid in a month. I have found what I think is the correct amount of natural thyroid to add to this other stuff. Maybe it will come out great, maybe it will come out terrible, but if it does, I'm just going to say: "It's my life. I'm going back to natural thyroid only at MY dosage for 10 years and I DON'T need you to prescribe it to me, and I will get another specialist to do it, or I will purchase it legally elsewhere. You can remain my doctor, or not, but I'm not doing thyroid testing unless *I* feel totally weird, because I actually am a STRONG believer in the fact that *I* know my body and what is good for it when it comes to meds. And, by the way, as a hyper metabolizer, and yes I have the gene, you are FAR from the first doctor I have had this conversation with. I'm not typical. I have, however, had the kind of life that allows me to know whether I am okay, or I am NOT okay. Because before all this OMG OSTEOPEROSIS HEART ATTACK noise, I was not only fine, everyone was fine with how I was."
Health seems to be a moving target deese days.
Plus if like things were really good at killing me off in the way they should, I think I would have been a first trimester miscarriage.

And... mine turned up in the couch cushions.
rookie mistake.
rookie mistake.
These optimism like thingies are making me feel like you all think I should have been a first trimester miscarriage!
That sucks. I wonder what life would have been like as a first trimester miscarriage. I also wonder what my MOM's life would have been like without my willingness to challenge her at every turn, tell her off when needed, DEFY her to the ends of the earth (like when as a teen I was like running away she grabbed a handful of hair to stop me running away like, which you should not do to a teenager in a rage, said teenager-- if at all like her mom I can admit it but I was all HORMONES then I had an excuse-- is not going to be all politely like "Sure thing, Mom, you have a fistful of my hair so I will be happy to sit down and talk," it was more like, "Hair, huh? (Censored) to you, I'm OUTTA here, you can sit down and have a polite conversation with my hair, it will grow back.")
I do have a giant bald spot I discovered to my horror by chance in a fitting room near Me the other day, I bet it was that fistful of hair, I mean, my scalp bled and stuff, maybe it DIDN'T grow back. That's a relief actually, I was starting to wonder if I was gonna need Rogaine or a Wig and personally I think wigs are cooler only not in the TEMPERATURE sense.
Where was I going with this? Oh right, like what would my mom have been like without my "tempering" her (or we each other to be ENTIRELY fair)???
Probably a lot like a former first lady who will remain nameless, only my mom would have rehoused her consciousness into a robot person and her boobs would have lasers for self defense and she'd be like "NO!" on space force and just tell the aliens to get lost.
This is usually why I am watching Meredith Grey at this fine time of the evening. But soon.

Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmm. m'okay......
In today's world, yeah, I'll believe that.
(pssssst. was that report from Fredo?)
I won't do that no more.
Honestly, Anna, I think people give you the optimistic rating because they want to reach out to you and show you that they care, and that they hope everything works out.
Reminds me of the time I worked with high risk adolescents. One girl threatened that she was running away from the school program. We thought we were so clever to tell her she couldn't run because she had on someone else's hoodie (which she wasn't supposed to do). She looked at us and pulled the hoodie off, ran out the door and down the street of the city with just a bra on. We chased her and tried to reason with her but nope.
Aww... That was moving. I almost cried but then I read the HOODIE story (you can't leave because of the hoodie??????) and then I cried laughing
I worked in an RTC for my first job (I wanted my first two jobs to be the hardest so I learned the most, and it worked.) I was way too nice to those girls at first, my team "head of residential services" only got respect for me after the RIOT when I sat those girls down in the living area and screamed at them for about an hour including how they had lost every privilege they had ever earned including the right to breathe without asking permission.
But even as a rookie, I don't think I would have used the "hoodie" excuse. To be fair, a lot of residents ran away by jumping out of second story windows we had to replace them all with plexiglass.
You are just lucky she returned the HOODIE first. I say bravo to that teen, she had a conscience.

Just to discuss something ProVari-related, this being the ProVarinati forum and all, here’s something illustrative of why ProVaris are so good at what they do, to wit:
Let’s say you have a borderline battery. Maybe it’s getting time to replace it, but it still has some life to it, it still charges properly, it’s just a little dodgy.
Well, one of the telltales that maybe this dodgy batt needs to be replaced, is when your ProVari cuts out, then resumes firing.
What this signifies is that said dodgy battery is falling below the minimum parameters needed for your ProVari to accept that the battery is safe to fire.
When the battery rebounds back up to where it is safe to fire, then fine, off you go again.
I just find it interesting that the chip is following along closely enough, that it can instantaneously get this right.
Of course, at some point, prior to total failure, it calculates that the battery sag is just too risky, and then it won’t fire it anymore.
I think this is the sort of thing people used to complain about with ProVaris:
“Why does my battery cut out at such and such a voltage?”
Because your battery sucks.
The other thing was the old 3.5V (or higher) and done thing.
People went mental over this.
They just could not get that the device would not fire if it would create a dangerous condition, for the vaper, or would damage the battery if it did manage to fire.
So, you have 3.7V left on the battery, why won’t it fire?
Because the chip is saving you from yourself.
It’s reading the condition of the battery; it’s reading how you are vaping, including whether (or not) the battery is recovering between hits, and it is pulling the plug.
Conservative? Yes, but this is why I love these things.
And my face does too.

Or your fooling yourself. That’s how I take it sometimes.
But, yeah, mostly people want the best for other people.
