LOW THYROID IN WOMEN

ATTENTION LADIES....



I just wanted to get this out there in case anyone has had the same issues as me with their thyroid...
I have a goiter on my thyroid, and have felt like crap for years...I have seen every kind of doctor and specialist out there to no avail. My thyroid tests out normal, and doctors just shrug me off when I tell them of my symptoms...soooo

I decided to investigate on my own...I found this product at a local health food store, and have begun my own treatment...I will update as I see more change....So far it is amazing...I posted the Amazon link for it, as it is waaaaay cheaper...half price of what I paid for it. 


Made in Green Bay... One of the symptoms of low thyroid is thinning hair....and I am starting to get thinning on the top....EEEEEK..I have actually resorted to filling in bald spots with mascara...
 Approximately 40% of the world’s population remains at risk for iodine deficiency.....

Recent FDA findings found table salt makers are now failing to add iodine in quantities sufficient to support optimal health.I do not use table salt, and processed foods do not use iodized salt I found...
Iodine is critical to healthy thyroid function.Inadequate iodine intake causes weight gain, low energy, depression, cardiovascular disease, cognitive decline, and a variety of cancers.
Iodine is vital to breast health in older women, with low intake correlated to increased risks for breast cancer and fibrocystic breast disease.

Salt used in cooking loses up to 62.4% of its iodine content
Are you using Kosher or sea salt?.... they contain little or no iodine





Slept for over 16 hours straight the second night after starting these...I think my body temp is finally evening out...felt great...‪#‎sosleepdeprived‬...my feet are always ice cold, and my torso and head are on fire..

Symptoms of Hypothyroidism...
Severe fatigue, loss of energy
Weight gain, difficulty losing weight
Depression and depressed mood
Joint and muscle pain, headaches
Dry skin, brittle nails
Brittle hair, itchy scalp, hair loss
Irregular periods, PMS symptoms
Breast milk formation
Calcium metabolism difficulties
Difficulty tolerating cold and lower body temperature
Constipation
Sleeping more than average
Diminished sex drive
Puffiness in face and extremities
Hoarseness
Bruising/clotting problems
Elevated levels of LDL (the “bad” cholesterol) and heightened risk of heart disease
Allergies that suddenly appear or get worse
Persistent cold sores, boils, or breakouts
Tingling sensation in wrists and hands that mimics carpal tunnel syndrome
Memory loss, fuzzy thinking, difficulty following conversation or train of thought
Slowness or slurring of speech

Beautiful Realistic Rose Tattoo's

So....I swore I would never get a tattoo.....
Then.....
They came up with this awesome technique of not using that big black outline!!!
They are called no line watercolor tattoo's

The tattoo process remains the same, same techniques and tools are used but the focus is on simulating the watercolor effect. 


The watercolor style is created using splatters, blurs, shades. 

There are no defined shapes and no outlines, watercolor tattoos allowing the artist to take on a different approach to the “traditional” tattoo.

Here are just some of the designs I am considering....



A traditional tattoo will outlast a watercolor one, but eventually even the traditional tattoo will need a touch up as well. 

No matter what tattoo you want, you’ll probably have to get it “touched up”. 

With watercolor tattoos, however, you’ll probably just want to get them touched up sooner.














And now the hunt is on for an artist to make me one!!...and where to put it...and how many roses...do I want leaves? OH DEAR!
