[quote]Is your wife's thyroid being treated effectively? The military would only give me Synthroid, so I ordered some natural thyroid from England, then Canada, and wow, changed my life!! lol At least it let me get back in my size 1's and 3's. (Size before thyroid issues). When the military Dr found out, he banished me to an off base Endo....lol....who PRESCRIBED those thyroid treatments....[/quote] Yes, she is on Synthyroid (0.075mg), but it was prescribed by a civilian doctor. I don

In a way I'm glad the judge ruled this way. It's going to keep the issue in the forefront. Most citizens, in Arizona and nationwide, support the original Arizona law and the coming backlash against the opposition will not be so easily forgotten by the voters. It might even flush out a few of the less vocal illegal supporters.

My provider is a TPC and the wife provider is a civilian clinic (the military clinics are overcrowded in my area). She has it much better, her provider is open 8AM - 10PM, 365 days a year, no appointment. All her referrals have been to civilian practices. Interesting point about the thyroid and cancer link. My wife had colon cancer is 2006 (no

Tova I'm sorry for your experience too. I hate the "lawsuit" mentality, but perhaps you should speak to a lawyer, and get the names and statements of all that were present. Most women worry about breast cancer and to put knowing off for two more months (on top of the pain and damage of the botched procedure) that is just plain reckless. I hope you recover quickly and it turns out to be nothing in the end.

Pakistan is supporting the Taliban? No, say it isn't so. Didn't need a leak to know this. Bet he found a boatload of war crimes committed by the US and zero by the Taliban. Does this mean the left will cry that Obama is a war criminal, just like they did for Bush? Crikets... Execute the leaker (although I'm sure he'll get a cell like John Walker did), imprison those involved at wikileaks (for passing classified material) and be done, the MSM needs to get back to main task deflecting criticism
