That was meant to be a lovely time planting them.
Poor old Pam was laden down with hayfever, I do fear for her ear in retrospect.

But I don't think she would have been too polite to tell me to naff off.

I like the little faces and have a lot pansies but don't grow them in any special place, just let them self seed. Just about everything in my gardens does it's own thing which is just as well, if I don't feel well most of it looks after it's self. The pic is the photo I took because my grand-daughter she said it looked like a clown face, but they can all look a bit different and a lot of different clours at times. I bet your grand-daughter is very proud of the beautiful flowers she helped plant, regardless of where that was ;-)
Don't panic Aggie I won't go anywhere, just wondered what the poster had in mind. Apart from Vit C at times I only take what I'm given in a script from my GP. After all this time of being put on different brands of thyroid meds I think (BIG think) my new GP and I are getting my dose close to right.
I hope poor old Pam is over her hayfever, I have friends that get it very bad and they really have a terrible time with it.

Hi Everyone,
Thought I'd pop in and let you all know how I am going on the Canadian Meds from Alan.
I have been taking them since 14th of July, 100mg a day, started on 100 on one day, and 50 the next. Slowly worked up to 100mg a day. Am feeling soooo much better. More energy, and, no more sore eyes, think Im almost back to where I was before the 'Powers that be" changed our medication on us. A big thank you to Alan and Thyroid Support, and everyone on here

Good one Barbelon.



Where would we be without that man. 


I sometimes wonder about taking an extra half pill now and then - like you on 100 mcg a day, but somedays feel like I need a good swift kick up the slats to keep me going. Come nighttime tho I get me second wind and have recently been forcing myself to be in bed before 11. Something rare for me.

That's great Barbelon. How long did it take from your eyes to start coming right after you started on the Canadian. I can't wait for my GP to get with it and give me a script for it. The trouble is that with me only being with her for a few months I'm having to go through a lot of the tests again so she can figure out whats going on. Even though the past two clinics I was with while trying to get this sorted are meant to past on my records they can't have because she has no records of heaps of test I've had. In the mean time my eyes are still very sore, have no energy and generally feel like crap most of the time. I am better on the Synthroid than others I was given over the past 3 years, when I didn't have enough energy to stand long enough to cook myself a meal.
Cold and raining here today, yuk.

waves to all the gals and guy
Beautiful day here in the south.
Nahh Aggie nothing you said at all. I rudely told someone to go lick a cats..... bum but in not such nice words hehehe
I enjoyed our chat and i hope we get to do it again.
Been trying to organise some media and the like for this thyroid petition hand over. Have a few going to show their support so that will be great.
Southland people reading this please let me know if you will come to the petition hand over and the Saturday meeting is an open one. Open to all and anyone interested in drug interaction or generic replacements. Allan Campbell will be super cool to listen to and to chat with.
I miss ya all on trademe but be back soon.

I will try to get onto the Canadian Eltrox A.S.A.P, But I'm pretty sure my GP will want to wait until after the results next time, I have them on or about the 24th. Having talked to her about going on it a couple of months ago she did say that it's not good to change to a different band unless it's absolutely necessary, which I understand. With not having a lot of my med records from many years before and after I was diagnosed with thyroid problems I think she wants to get things sorted for herself first. I will ask for a script for them however. If she won't give me one I might ask Allan if he could phone her and explain what's been happening with a lot of people. I just don't like putting more on to his helpfull busy shoulders.
Can you see our Pam saying anything about a cats butt, they must have the wrong person Ha Ha.
Can't be there in person for the petition hand over Pam but will send strong vibes on the day.
I tried sending this, this morning but something went hay wire and G/ups went off line.
Trying again.
Hope it doesn't come up twice.
Aggie did you wag your finger at me when you wrote A.S.A.P. I'm sure I saw you do that.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~WAVES FINGER AGAIN at Mudda >>>>>>>> you should be able to ask, no tell, the doctor what you are going to take, I do, but then I guess I am just about the senior thyroidian, grumpy old girl


Woops, just burnt the fish while I am telling you what to do.

That last finger wave really frightened me, so I got ready to go down and face my GP and be strong. Jumped into the car, with you sitting on my shoulder waving finger, AND the battery was flat and it's only 4 months old. Lovely son will come and take it out for me after work and the place I got it from will replace it( I've rung them) It will have to be Friday now before I can see GP, so your off my shoulder for now. :-)
Are you able to see the little faces we put in our posts, mine are just red crosses, don't know what I've done.
If you reply, please don't do it while your cooking.;-(

Don't go there Mudda, you know we are on the only successful med we can take.
Love your pansy, my Gran used to say pansies for thoughts. I bought two boxes of them this year. Wanted the pink ones in the hanging baskets on the patio and other colours in the garden. Came home and grandpa and little miss 4 1/2 had had a lovely time, all completely wrong but they are still beautiful. Best pansies and polyanthus we have grown for a long time. Good variety in both. Just love the pansy faces.
