Nah, it's real. I just think he had a "big heed" as we say up here.
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

It turns out I have an under active thyroid. I’m taking doctor approved dope and have dropped 10lbs in 4 weeks.

Doesn’t the dope make you eat more?

Nope it's genuine.

That's a lot. Glad you got it worked out though. Stupid, thyroid.

It's funny, I was eating better, drinking less, and exercising more and lost no weight (I started about 35lbs heavier that where I ought to be). I hadn't had a physical in 15 years so I finally went in. The blood test showed that my stupid thyroid was under active and therefore my metabolism was slow. I take this tiny pill when I wake up in the morning (levothyroxine) and that fills in the gap. I have long been reluctant to use drugs that I don't buy in a fake taxi cab from a guy named Tito but I think this was a good move. My blood pressure was a little high too so he had me get a home blood pressure kit to monitor it. As my weight has decreased, my blood pressure has dropped to a healthier level.

Glad to hear you found something. Did they have any reason why your thyroid isn't thyroiding as much as it should?

My wife has a BP kit. And Im like ok, what do you do with that info?

7-10% of adults over 40 get Hypothyroidism (underproduction of hormones). I am not really sure about the why part aside for the slow creep towards death we all go through.

Sounds good. I'm also reluctant to take meds, even ones sold in a back alley.

Yeah OTC pain killers for headaches and cold medicine is where I generally draw the line.

Speaking of old and painkillers I polled the ol' groin muscle tonight running out a grounder.
