    The THYROID Thread

    It took months to feel better. But now two years later I feel as normal as I think I'm ever going to feel. I really cannot complain. It is my own fault if I miss a dose, as long as I take what I'm supposed to I feel good. My endo monitors the calcium levels closely so that I don't get...

    Hang in there! I too had issue with my para thyroid and 2 years after my surgery I still have trouble with calcium. According to my doctors I may never be able to absorb calcium correctly anymore and the best thing I can do is take calcitriol and lots of calcium each day. If I miss a dose or...

    We made it through the storm! Never lost power and thankfully work has and continues to be closed so we have not left the house. It was scary at certain times with the winds causing trees to break but luckily I cannot complain of any major damage. I cannot say the same for some of our friends...

    Anyone near the hurricane please be safe. We are home with food and water all set. Just hoping not to lose power. Wishing I was somewhere warm and sunny, but I will enjoy being stuck home with my guys.

    I feel like I have dental issues but the dentist thinks it's all in my head. He cannot find anything wrong which is good. However, I feel like my teeth are loose or weak. I cannot explain it but when I bite into something hard like an apple, carrot or hard bread it pains me, like a nerve pain...

    This is so good to hear. Sometimes I think because I had the cancer so young it might come back and I might not make it through the next time. I am truly encouraged hearing about people who are 20 yrs out. Sorry to get off topic.

    I too have a calcium issue. My para thyroids were re-implanted during surgery but the Dr thinks it didn't take so well. I am on .25 mcg calcitriol and 1200 mg calcium daily. If I forget to take the calcium one day I get numbness in my hands, legs, feet, and back and my teeth feel loose. I...

    Hi All, hope you're doing well! I've been feeling good other than my tear duct situation. Made another appointment with my eye dr for early October. Don't think it will change much but it's not any better and it's embarrassing to carry around tissues and wipe my eyes all the time. And...

    LMP that stinks about Be Our Guest, hoping something opens up for you! I'm off to the surgeon tomorrow just so he can check my scar some more. At this point I'm done with perfecting it and hope he is too. I'm not interested in any more needles. We've had a tough time ttc which has me...

    Dining Reviews 7/9-7/17

    Yes it was an amazing trip! We love Kidani village and food is usually the highlight of our vacation. I have never tried the donuts at TL, will have to look into that next time. Two things I missed getting this time around were a dole whip and a candy apple. We just didn't seem to pass them...

    Dining Reviews 7/9-7/17

    Background - We were a family of 7 adults on the dining plan and 1 two yr old (child young enough not to need to dining plan). We stayed at AKV Kidani. 7/9 - Lunch at Kidani pool. The items on the DP were disappointing, only a turkey club or chicken salad. I realize it's a pool bar but...

    Grand Floridian Cafe or Captain's Grill?

    Sorry I didn't specify, CG was actually dinner. And we had steaks and pasta dishes. There were 7 adults and not one of us loved the food. It was good, but not the best we've had in Disney. GFC was lunch and as another poster mentioned it did take quite a long time to be seated even though...

    Grand Floridian Cafe or Captain's Grill?

    We were not impressed with the Captains Grill but enjoyed GF Cafe a lot. We felt the food was not impressive in Captains Grill and it was an effort for us to get there bc of the location so it just wasn't worth it. GF Cafe had terrific service, wait staff was friendly with our son and we were...

    Fulton's Crab House at DTD ~ yes or no?

    If you are a seafood lover you will enjoy the food a lot. My DH does not eat seafood and generally orders the steak, it has been hit or miss if he actually enjoys it. I have never had a bad experience with the seafood and I have ordered several different things over the years. We used to go...

    LMP - read your dining reviews and loved them! You mentioned something about FL water not mixing well with the cancer meds. Can you tell me more about that? I didn't notice anything specific during my trip last year but am curious what the effects are for you.

    This is really shocking to me. Have they changed again recently? We were there last July and the food and service was wonderful! I was nervous about the change when it first happened but have eaten there twice since and have been more than pleased. I am so sorry you had a bad experience. We...
