Dear Thyroid: You suck.

Dec. 21, 2009 by Keiko Zoll

My appointment with Dr. G was a disaster. Despite the dosage increase, symptomatically, I've felt the worst I've felt so far (horrendous brain fog, lethargy, sleepiness, coldness in hands and feet - the usual). And yet the numbers say the inverse: my TSH was 0.024 - well in the … Read More »

Called me out.

Dec. 7, 2009 by Keiko Zoll

So I'm behind a few days worth of posts, but it's been an interesting few days. Larry and I (again) had another long discussion (read: late-night argument) about this rock and a hard place location I'm in where I need to find a job that actually stimulates and fulfills me but has … Read More »

Why all the hate on women’s health?

Nov. 20, 2009 by Keiko Zoll

I'm hoppin' mad about the state of women's health care in this country right now. Recently, a national task force has made recommendations made about mammograms in women over 40. Today, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) has made recommendations to … Read More »

A follow up to my last post, Call me a Bitter Bettie.On the Inspire.com RESOLVE boards, someone posted almost the exact same lament I had about Facebook status updates on Monday. There were 75 replies at last count to this discussion, so it's comforting to know there are a lot of … Read More »

A truly restorative weekend.

Nov. 9, 2009 by Keiko Zoll

The RESOLVE of the Bay State Annual Conference on Saturday was just amazing. I'm so glad Larry and I went - we did some seriously deep soul-searching, some crying (well, I did the crying), and engaged in some very cathartic dialogue with people who get it - who really understand … Read More »

Yes, I’m still here

Nov. 5, 2009 by Keiko Zoll

I've just been trying to regain steam to post- I don't want to let this journal fall to the wayside (like I've basically let my personal LJ just kind of putter around for the last 3 years). Anywho... here's what's new in life:2 weeks ago: Japan was amazing. 2 weeks, 7 cities, … Read More »
