Thyroid issues are simple to fix, that's why I've always laughed at this explanation. For as long as he's supposedly been dealing with this, his thyroid should have just been taken out a long time ago. Find your dose of synthroid with the added benefit of having some performance enhancing wiggle room with that TUE and move on. If he's truly been fighting thyroid issues for this long he's either being managed by a quack or not following his doctor's recommendations. 

Also, "thyroid issues" isn't a diagnosis. What condition does he actually have? I know, I know, none of my business.... but again the whole story has always smelled strongly of BS.

Someone should have explained that to my wife. She has been dealing with Thyroid issues for over 30 years and it changes all the time. i have learned how to recognize it by the mood swings. Her synthroid levels change as well. As far as just taking out the Thyroid, that is not always a fix or an option. It does sound like you or someone close o you is dealing with Thyroid issues but all are not the same.

A 50 something female with hypothyroidism and ever changing hormone levels of all kinds is not the situation Anderson is dealing with. And even in your situation, you recognize the signs and adjust accordingly, move on with life. 

I've asked before what Anderson's specific diagnosis is but either way the notion that this is derailing his career is just not believable. These conditions with varying symptoms just end up being the catch all thing that everything gets blamed on. 

I agree with alot you say, just was noting its not always an easy answer, and I surly don't believe Thyroid is all of Jason's issues.

Interesting. You actually can respect a man who can’t defend himself against a woman without hitting her? Protect yourself, de-escalate the situation, leave if necessary. If you hit her as retaliation for being hit either you’ve kept your cool and have made a deliberate choice to hit her, or you’ve lost control. Neither are good. Either you’re an asshole or you lack a level of self control appropriate for an adult male. I’m not sure which is worse. In either case hat kind of guy isn’t my kind of guy. That’s the kind of guy who I wouldn’t piss on if he was on fire.

My friend was at a restaurant in suburban Atlanta. Nice part of town. 

Woman comes over and asks him his name. He says "Hey I'm Bradley, you're pretty but i am married and my wife does not like when I talk to other women when she's not around" (I was there, this is exactly what he said, verbatim). 

She grabs him by the arm, pulls and pulls and pulls... yanks him from the booth and starts yelling belligerently. Tells everyone that he yelled at her and slapped her! Calls the police and says he hit her, etc etc. ...We all stood there because what can we do? 

We are full grown men and "you don't hit women"

She picks up a mug off a different table and slams him with it. 

After the 2nd hit, which broke the mug, my other friend hit her pretty damn hard, and her boyfriend got hit even harder. is my friend that hit her "an asshole or you lack a level of self control appropriate for an adult male" ? as you put it. 

Now he has a fake eye, cant ride, and due to brain injury he has other cognitive issues, cant drive his car after dark, etc. In the winter, I have to pick him up from work out of guilt for not laying the bitch out... Your experience is not the only experience nor is it the one everyone in the world should use to meter their own behaviors.

I’m sorry about what happened to your friend. This woman didn’t just smack your friend Brad, she assaulted him with a weapon. There’s a massive chasm between this a the guy who beats his wife after she smacks him in the heat of an argument. Your friend was acting in defence of a third party in a situation where he was suffering serious injury. I’m glad he intervened. It’s a tough situation because the ideal is to protect yourself and stop the threat before she can do damage but if you can’t prove that there’s an imminent threat then you risk legal repercussions yourself. Kind of a no win situation and it sucks. 

I don’t presume to have an answer for every situation. As a rule, don’t hit women - especially your partner. Unfortunately there may be the occasional crazy person who creates an exception to this rule. Your friend seems to have found one such situation. If someone attacks you with a weapon all bets are off and you do what you must. 

Your anger is understandable. Just remember that not all women are crazy and don’t let the crazy ones shape your view of women in general. I hope the best for both you and your friend. 

The rule I live by is to never hit a woman, unless someone's life is in danger.  Then I'll use the minimum amount of force necessary to diffuse the situation, WHATEVER that may be.

The main reason men shouldn't hit women is that we can do incredible damage to a woman without realizing it, especially when very, very angry, and as most of you know, women know how to make a man very, very, very angry.

A woman starting something, or throwing the first punch is not justification to hit back.

Who knows what really happened. I'm just happy to have another top guy eventually back at the races. We're 2rds in and we've already lost Tomac, Jcoop and possibly Sexton.

What I do know is you can't "believe all women" or trust the official "report".

And slice/dice followed by a lifelong drug subscription are the catch-all solutions for doctors.


You are a doctor?

What kind of insanity is it to be normalizing the removal of a key gland as a “simple fix” for hormonal issues, on a public motocross forum, when you acknowledge yourself you don’t know the diagnosis, and how ever-changing and different hormonal situations are?

PSA kids. Health comes from nature and movement, not letters next to a name used to imply credibility and keep you from looking at the industry behind them.

Yeah, people with hypothyroidism were totally better off before synthroid. All they had to do was go for a nature walk instead of spending $50/year on a generic drug that kept them from dying of myxedena coma. 

If you don't like modern medicine, great, feel free to never come visit, but I'm very much over people thinking the doctors are the problem with the system. I get paid an hourly rate and my life is much easier if nobody ever shows up. I don't go looking for patients. The surgeon's cut on the cost of a thyroidectomy is next to nothing. If us doctors wanted to get rich there's much easier ways to do it, and hilariously enough one of the most common ways is to start peddling homeopathic garbage to people who have it all figured out. People eat it up when you offer them that delicious confirmation bias when you have those letters behind your name.

Spill the beans on the natural way to fix the thyroid.  My wife has tried a million naturopathic ways and nothing has worked out side of the naturethroid pill that is expensive as hell and hard to get sometimes.

It may be a similar product.  Has your wife tried Thytrophin PMG?  It's a glandular from Standard Process.

PMG (Protomorphogen) is more advanced than a standard glandular.

They're a good company that was founded in 1929.

I don't have any experience with this particular product, but I've used a couple of their products for years.  So has my family.

I hope you're wife figures things out and gets well!

I was 25 and engaged to a beautiful blonde chick. The first years was great. The 2nd year the cracks started showing up. At the time I got a job with FMF in Cali. 

She wanted to go to the kibuts in Isreal to visit her brother. I moved to LA. I'd work and send money to her every month. She'd make excuses why she could not come to LA. Anyways, after a season I flew home to SA. She would arrive from abroad a week after me.

I was faithful to her and when I picked her up at the airport, I could only think of one thing. I needed to get my end away even if it meant pulling over in the African wilderness to do the deed. She was very reserved and wanted to know nothing about it.

Anyways, at home we used to shower together but this time was different. I'll keep this short. A couple days later I walk in on her getting dressed and saw big scabs on her knees (carpet burns) We ended up arguing and eventually she confessed that some dude boned her the day before she flew home.

I took all her shit and dumped it on the pavement and called her mom to come pick her up. I jumped on my CR250 and hit the woods (we lived in a small rural town with surrounding forrests) Been on the bike was my happy place.

Anyways, i get back home after calming down only to get picked up by the cops for assault. I never laid a hand on the bitch.

Fortunately my folks had a cleaning lady who worked for them who also lived on the property ( myself and my chick lived in the garden cottage)

The cleaning lady had seen nd heard everything that went down and vouched for me. Eventually the charge was dropped but just about everyone in our small town had heard the story and had their own opinion. 

I had dudes wanting to fuck me up. The bitch was going around bad mouthing me .

That tore me up on the inside but thankfully I had my job at FMF and been a "now" single race mechanic was great. It still took a long time for the emotional hurt to heal.
