Baby Chicks..

We put 22 Araucauna chicken eggs in an incubator exactly 22 days ago. This morning when I looked in, we had 2 new baby chicks! It is now almost 11 PM and we are up to 7 new babies. This is the first time we have tried to incubate eggs. The chicks are adorable. I have been turning the eggs three times a day and kept the temperature and humidity levels up. So exciting! I will try to post pics. tomorrow.
Good night all...

thyroid issues.....still

Just heard from my Doc. today, have to lower my meds. again, Synthroid. I did add Cytomel a month ago, and I think this might be helping.

I am learning so much about Graves Disease and the many factors that go into treating it properly. Your Adrenal Glands are affected by thyroid disease too, so in order to get the best out of your medicine for your thyroid, you need to have your adrenal glands working. These glands are affected by stress, and can become fatigued.

Well, I will give the new dosage a month and see how that goes, I am also taking iron, Vitamin D and B vitamins.

I am reading everything I can about natural thyroid Hormones, I might go that route if I am not feeling better. A lot of information out there on the web though! I just bought the book, "Stop The Thyroid Madness." I do recommend this to anyone who is trying to live well with Thyroid issues. Also all of Mary Shomon's books are excellent.
