What made you happy today?

The dermatologist said that nothing needs to be cut off of my body.

Got a lot of bottles of kombucha bottled today. 24 in this last batch. I can go back to 2 bottles a day, some days.

Is that any good? I've heard about it but am not sure

It's kind of fizzy. It can taste good or bad depending on what you put in it. I just avoid it because my endocrinologist told me it's not good for my thyroid. I've been in remission from Graves' disease for close to ten years now, but I'd like to keep it that way.

My bantam hen laid her 102nd consecutive egg today! I have been able to track her since Sept 30 when she resumed after a dry spell. She has far outstripped all of her former egg laying records. I told her to take a break, but she always seems to favor the winter months!

Did he say why it's not good for your thyroid? Fermented food has good probiotics in it. Interesting

Try a bottle from the store. I like this brand

the best. It comes in lots of flavors; I like the strawberry one, especially. It's about $3.59 a bottle. I like my home made stuff (much) better, and I can make it for about $1 a bottle.

Ditto, why, did he say?

Graves' disease is a form of hyperthyroidism. Apparently it can stimulate your metabolism, which my thyroid was already going overboard on, so, not good for me. I found out I had Graves' disease after an ambulance ride because I got off of my exercise bike one day and my heart didn't slow down. After 20 minutes of lying on the floor with my heart still running at about 140, I ended up calling 911.

The people at the emergency room thought I was bonkers because my heart finally slowed down when I got there, but they took a bunch of blood and still thought I was faking it after my heart rate went from 60 to 180 while I was calmly thumbing through a magazine. The bloodwork showed the problem, though.

Interesting. Glad you found out the problem, though
