Thank you, Father George!

It's not really, really bad. I am sloooooowly getting better.

I have never smoked a day in my life but still have scar tissue in my lungs. (Thank you mother for smoking around us kids non-stop throughout my childhood.) So I tend to get persistent coughing for a long time before my lungs finally clear up.

If I start to feel worse, feel feverish or excessively tired, I will not hesitate to visit a doctor.

My father has smoked all of my life, but he has never done it around me unless we are outside. My husband also Vapes, but he does it outside. Never inside our house.

People don't realize that smoking around kids really affects them!

I've always been that way, I don't eat before 1. My body hates food before then. I drink about a gallon of water until I eat. Then I eat until 7 pm. I eat massive amounts of food in that time. Sometimes I might have breakfast, but it's pretty rare.

I actually lost 10 lbs in 2 weeks from my rituxan infusion. I was having a lot of swelling because Graves disease has completely messed with my body. I was supposed to have a surgery, but they canceled it two days before so I wasn't allowed to have my infusion for about 8 months because it can cause extreme infections with surgeries. I was swollen from my head to my toes and I felt awful... My body feels so much better now!

Huh, that’s odd. That sucks. but then again I usually only eat like once or twice a day too. Not usually on purpose, I just usually forget/procrastinate eating till afternoon so then I’m not hungry till later. Sometimes I just snack

and awww I’m sorry! That sounds awful!!

I have been that way probably since I've been a teenager. My body just doesn't like mornings and can't function in the mornings.

DH is pretty much the same way he doesn't eat until dinner time. He snacks sometimes at work, but he's always moving. He probably walks 5 miles a day at work. He's always loading trucks and stuff, he has no time for eating.

When did you have the thyroidectomy? Are you still getting the Rituxan infusions?
That's tough having Grave's disease.

That's tough having Grave's disease.

I had my thyroidectomy 9 years ago. They fully remove my thyroid but somehow it has grown back a little they actually thought that I had cancer and I had to get a bunch of tests for it like ultrasounds and biopsy. It scared me... I just started the rituxan again about 3 weeks ago. Every 3 to 6 months I get two infusions of solumedrol and rituxan, It depends on how long it lasts. Once I start feeling bad they usually give me it.

I got thyroid eye disease from Graves disease so that is what the surgery was for. It was for an orbital decompression, I had already had one five years ago but it was unsuccessful. They canceled the surgery two days before and it caused a whole bunch of chaos with all my doctors. They all had a huge conference meeting and a lot of my doctors were not happy because their treatments were stopped for the surgery.

I'm just glad I'm back on treatment

huh, interesting. That makes sense. I think I’m the same actually or similar. I tried eating once in the morning recently and it made me kinda sick, wasn’t hungry at all, kinda nauseous, had to choke it down haha but I don’t think it’s just in the mornings. For me it’s mostly just when I first wake up I think. So I have to wait till I’ve been awake a little bit haha

And oh wow that’s a lot of moving and walking!! Makes sense though!! But I could never go that long without eating haha I get sick if I go all day or even sometimes more than like a few hours haha even if it’s just a snack I’ve gotta eat something.

That really sucks.

That really sucks.

I'm fine with it, it makes me stronger. The past few days I've had incredible energy, which I haven't seen for several months. I was in a pretty bad funk the past few months and I think it was my body's way of telling me that it didn't feel well.

My husband is one of those people that could eat all day long and never gains a pound.

My brother calls him an evolved tapeworm with arms and legs My family always picks on him and tells him that he needs to eat, but he literally eats everything! My kids are usually giving him their leftovers from their plates because they treat him like a garbage disposal

I bet you did! I LOVE that level of temperature. I could do without the drizzle though.

I was a slug yesterday trying to get lots of rest to recover from the stress from the surgery day and this stupid cold. My cold has a death grip on my lungs and I can't even sleep in my own bed. Every time I try to, I end up having a coughing attack. I seem to sleep better from a coughing perspective in a reclining position on the couch but I don't sleep well in the living room because that is where the wood stove is and I prefer a much cooler room for sleep.

Hope you get better soon!
