Guest guest Posted September 12, 2004 Report Share Posted September 12, 2004 Jan - thanks for that info! I had no idea it was still around. I guess the HMO doc was pushing the brand that gave her the biggest kick back! I was totally lied to. Amazing. Good to meet you too! Looking forward to the Oct. meeting. Hopefully I'll have some good news about my med by then. Just started today and so far, so good, as far as I can tell. Talked to my cousin in KC who went through hypo hell a few years back. Really crashed after moving from Chicago to KC. She got a referral from her gyn to an endo in KC who gave her Armour!!! She said she was better in just a week, and continued to progress. I am so happy for her. I have now forgotten the endo's name, but have emailed her to get it. I'd like to pass it on to the group that would cover KS and MO, in case they are looking for this type of doc. My cousin said she is great and is very highly thought of. How would I get the info to those folks? Sara PS - off topic ?s - is there a way to get rid of these #*!!*@**# Yahoo ads that appear all the time? and, how do I post so that the lines don't keep truncating so weirdly? I see that you can post with your own typeface. I'm on an iMac and use IntExplorer. > Both Nasalide and Beconase are glucocorticoids. I am not sure exactly how they interact with thyroid hormones, but they do so in similar fashion to cortisol. > > Nasalide is still on the market, but under a generic name. Strangely enough, it is still considered to be a brand name drug by my insurance company, because it is the one made by the original manufacturer, Bausch and Lomb. It is now called " flunisolide. " > > Walgreen's did not have it, but I found some at CVS. > > It was great meeting you in person! I like being able to put a face with a name.

Guest guest Posted September 14, 2004 Report Share Posted September 14, 2004 Speaking of meetings... how would you feel about having the October 18th meeting at the same place? Panera was a pretty easy spot to get to, and had plenty of parking. Does that sound okay? Cathryn > Jan - thanks for that info! I had no idea it was still around.

Guest guest Posted September 16, 2004 Report Share Posted September 16, 2004 oh, that's right. I didn't like having to leave either. I think the Corner Bakery is a much better idea. That's basically just up the road. Cat > Actually, I found out where the Corner Bakery is. I was looking too far north. It is actually at 4019 Villanova, in the shopping center on the southeast corner of Preston and Northwest Highway. But Panera was good, too. The only thing I did not like was that they closed so early. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 16, 2004 Report Share Posted September 16, 2004 I've already called them, they close at 9:00pm, as opposed to 8:00pm at Panera. Cat > I don't know what time they close either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 16, 2004 Report Share Posted September 16, 2004 Okay. Now tell us the real reason you got 86'd from the other place and had to find a new location.

Guest guest Posted September 17, 2004 Report Share Posted September 17, 2004 Cathryn was actually quite well behaved. . . . .but then she not only had her husband there, but also her MOTHER! Now if you want to see a rowdy thyroid group, go to Seattle. They have a meeting every month, including a "spa day" every now and then with facials and massages. . . .the group has been taken over by three hypers. . . .Buffy the Vampire Slayer, KarlaJeanBean and RubyRedLara. . . .

Guest guest Posted September 17, 2004 Report Share Posted September 17, 2004 No, if they were on Armour, they would not be too worried about the covers. . . .
