I started working there in April (was supposed to be an internship, but since they didn't have a meteorologist on staff it didn't qualify as an internship). I really enjoy it b/c it involves forecasting across the country and I've gained a ton of experience with weather outside of CT. Nice Wizzy. Where is the job?

Hamden has some very nice areas, but this town is a fiscal crisis within a fiscal crisis and the taxes are absurd relative to neighboring towns. North Haven or Wallingford are better options for taxes, snow and severe. Congrats on the gig btw! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#NoPoles Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 I scheduled myself my 6months dentist appointment and my yearly physical less than a week apart...apparently i subconsciously enjoy torturing myself. My blood work came back relatively great, my D3 is elevated. Im not taking any special supplements, only a multi vitamin so it was suggested i take it every other day instead of every day... But somewhere between last years bloodwork and this years, my thyroid broke im really not a big fan of taking pills, but this is something that can't fix itself...so for the first time in my life im on a longterm pill...kinda sad it has come to this...

I seem to have a cholesterol issue despite not having a bad diet. Family hereditary FTL. I'm trying to not take a pill and further reduce it through exercise and diet. Will see how this goes. On the other hand, I don't want to fall over and die, so there's that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry about your not so good thyroid. If it's any consolation, I take 5 pills a day. 2 for my Chronic Leukemia and 3 for my High Blood Pressure. I also take a multi-vitamin and a long-term inhaler for asthma. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to hear that My blood pressure was fine, cholesterol was elevated, but the doctor said my bad cholesterol is low and it's the good cholesterol that's elevated, so not to worry about it...Scott, I was told if I cut back on the starchy carbs, it would help keep my bad cholesterol numbers in the good range. Maybe that could help you? Liver enzymes were great. Vitamin levels were great except for D3. I guess too much Vitamin D will actually pull calcium out of your bones, which I was not aware of.

Do some digging around on thepaleomom.com She has a lot of stuff on diet for autoimmune conditions including all of the thyroid related ones. I'm not convinced your thyroid is permanently broken. Make sure you're getting some seafood and maybe even consider some seaweed veggies (kelp or those dulce flakes). Iodine, zinc, and selenium are important for thyroid function. I used to take a multi too, but I'm not a fan anymore. Just try to get all of your nutrients from food since they tend to have other cofactors naturally with them that help to increase absorption. I don't like the Frankenstein levels of certain vitains and mineral in multis and you just piss a lot of them away anyway. And yeah....I'd limit the gluten, sugar, and starchy carbs for awhile. What's your diagnosis? Hypo? Hashimoto's? Just my $0.02. Good luck. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 Wintry morning. Cold and snowing. About an inch of currier and Ives fluff on the car. Driving to Morrisville to get tires, went through a couple very narrow bands of moderate to even heavy snow that lasted all of a half mile to mile each. Very localized and varied from one spot to the next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
