       I think it is the same here too re: blood tests but some have to
       be done in a hospital sometimes. Eg. My proper thyroid one.  Not
       the normal basic blood test one but IF the result is not normal
       then I have to go for the more complicated thyroid test in a
       hospital.

       I don't think Mum or Kylie have ever had to go to a hospital for
       a blood test for their thyroid, perhaps they haven't ended to
       [emoji848] I will try and remember to ask Kylie when I talk to
       her next.

       Did your Mum or Kylie have a thyroidectomy ????  Oh my memory
       .......... or lack of it ..... an old age thing but also a
       possible Thyroidectomy thing !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Or so I read

       Mum had one of her thyroids taken out if my memory serves me
       correct, but she had Graves Disease, it causes the body to make
       too much thyroid hormone. Kylie had cancer nodules on her
       thyroid and had some radioactive medication to kill them off,
       she had to be in isolation for two weeks using her own eating
       and drinking utensils and her own bathroom etc. It was
       successful, but she is on some medication for it.

       We only have ONE thyroid so maybe your Mum had all of hers taken
       out or only half / one side of it and I DO remember we have
       talked about this before ..... I only needed ONE side taken out
       medically but the specialist told me I May need the other side
       out later on so in the long run it was better to have it ALL out
       in one go and take Thyroxin for ever !!!!!
       I remember Kylie and her problem too now that you say what
       happened. She never did get her thyroid out right but is on meds
       ? (((((((((Kylie)))))))))))
       That is why I had my thyroid out because of possible cancer
       nodules on one side I am sure  !

       Of course you are right, what was I thinking!!!!!!! Mum had her
       thyroid removed fully I believe, it was about 18 years ago now
       and I can't remember why now as she was on Thyroxine for years
       before that for her Graves Disease.
       No Kylie still has her thyroid, but she is on meds for it all
       and has it regularly checked.

       I have no idea if I feel better minus a thyroid or if I would
       feel better with my thyroid !!!!!!!!!!!!! Hahaha Too late now :)
       I had mine out ... must be 10 plus years ago ... cannot remember
       !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
       I do remember when Kylie first had problems with her thyroid and
       needed meds. and she did have a hard time getting the meds.
       sorted and suitable for her needs. Its hard I understand with
       thyroid problems but easier IF you have your thyroid removed
       !!!! Medical wise ! SO I was told :)))))))))))))))

       Hopefully you will have your thyroid medication sorted out
       before too much longer. How are you feeling now? Are you still
       very tired all the time?
       Thankfully Kylie is sorted with her meds now, at least she
       hasn't mentioned otherwise and she would have said so if there
       was a problem.

       I feel fine nowadays, I think I am just a bit bored and do not
       have much to do all day ! So I just sit around and feel tired
       doing that !!!!!!!!!!!!The wet, rainy and windy weather does not
       help any !!!!!!!
       Today I decided to clear out my old magazines.... I have about
       80 taking up space ( in the book case and on the spare chair !!!
       ) ... from various Op shops etc. !!! I intended to take them to
       the Rubbish dump today ......... but it kept raining so I sat
       down looking through them !!!!!!!!!!! Never even had a nana nap
       !!!!!!!!!!!!! I Might NOT dump ALL Of them
       :))))))))))))))))))))))))))))) Hahaha some of them have some
       interesting stuff in them.... All DIY and Housekeeping type
       mags. Maybe I just need another book case !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
       Your thyroid can play up in meno too. Wasn't Kylie having some
       meno problems earlier on ?

       No doubt you are very bored, you are used to being constantly
       busy with the kids and now they aren't there, what do you have
       to do?? You will have to find another hobby, one that is held
       inside and out of the cold. Start up some of this DIY stuff you
       have in your magazines.
       It was so cold here yesterday, it only got to 10C here during
       the day and the cold wind and rain made it feel much colder.
       Robert had to go out to the Drs for a check up, so we decided to
       go to have some lunch together while we were out. We went down
       to Westfields as we had to return one of suitcases as the handle
       broke when we were in Cairns, they are still under warrantee. So
       we went to the Bavarian restaurant for lunch and I had a
       delicious pork belly with mash potatoes, it was delish. At least
       I didn't have to cook tea as we didn't feel like anything.
       Menopause may have caused Kylie's thyroid problems, but I don't
       really think so myself, she is having little to no symptoms of
       meno. Belinda on the other hand is having a few problems, so I
       just remind her that she will make it through.
