hhhmmm… and all this time I thought I had just developed a new allergy to my cat, maybe there’s more to this ” title=”Confused” /> I’m a bit blond sometimes and don’t always connect the dots. Nobody ever said anything to me about puffiness. They didn’t mention bulging which is only slightly the case. but there is a distinct difference in bulging and puffy

To Suzie and the original post, I had RAI done about 5 years ago and as far as I’m concerned did not work. I wanted it removed completely but the Endo refused. Said I was too young (although had no problem getting an ablation done at the age of 25) HA! From what I’ve read it’s a regenerative organ and apparently mine grows like nobody business, constant med changes and always feeling ‘off’. If I could do it over I would insist that they remove it entirely. And I am currently looking for a Doc that will do this for me.

Good luck with yours and please remember nobody knows your body like you do so if something doesn’t feel right, Make them Listen!!!

I have lost a TON of hair and continue to loss some with each washing, I am not trying to intentionally product plug but honestly my mother-in-law gave me a bottle of Wen hair care (by Chaz Dean) and it has virtually eliminated my "shedding" it’s not as harsh on your hair and scalp and you don’t scrub it in. It’s also helped in that instead of washing every day I can now go 2-3 days between washing my hair.

As for the coloring I can’t help, I stopped a long time ago just because it was scary to rinse the color out and have a handfull of hair in the drain. I believe it was the harshness of the chemicals. I can tell you that they do make the above mentioned product for colored hair as well.

Good luck!

Sorry about the original post. As I started to write I started to get emotional (happening more and more lately) and then started to feel a bit down. Maybe I need to start depression meds again…

As for the weight, I’ve always been a big girl so I’m not aiming for anything drastic. In fact I’m pretty happy with myself and don’t personally have a problem with it; everybody else does.

I eat healthy I admittedly don’t exercise much because when I do I always seem to hurt myself. I walk my dogs regularly (2 great danes) but that’s about it. I eat healthy – more than most give me credit for. And I don’t eat much – quantity.

Things have just been overly difficult as of late. The job market around here is horrible and I am limited by my inability to stand for long periods of time. Now I have found that some family members think I am taking advantage of my husband because I haven’t found a job.

So once again I apologize, I think I just needed to vent to someone that doesn’t know me and doesn’t judge based off my appearance. I can’t / don’t vent to anyone because in our family dynamic I am the strong one. I am the one everyone else leans on. So thank you to everybody for letting me be weak and bending your ear.
