I can only hope that my talking to others about my cancer will help them realize that it's not a death sentence.
My doctor started me on thyroid medicine a couple years ago.
I have taken Synthroid for years and the only time it caused any sleep issues was when I was getting too much.....caused pounding heart and severe sweating which kept me awake. Do you take your medication in the morning? If not, you may want to try that. I learned while interviewing pts pre-surgically, that many people are never told to take thyroid meds first thing in the morning with plenty of water and to not take other meds at the same time. Also many were never told to wait 1hr before eating otherwise there can be problems with it absorbing correctly.
It's national bean day! It almost slipped by me! I happened to see this online, I know some of us are looking for protein sources.
@JaneA Being a 'consumer' of Graft-versus-Host-Disease form a transplant, my colon definitely functions differently from before. However, what I cooked before I still do: Chili made with ground chicken or turkey - the fat drained off - whatever stewed or diced tomatoes I have on hand, and up to 5 varieties of beans (light and dark red kidney, Canellini, pinquito, pinto, small red, and seasoned with Amazing Taste Chili seasoning. It really is amazing. Very low fat, lots of protein, and fiber? Oh yeah.
