No more identifying with those people in the Cymbalta ads.  I feel about 10 years younger and have already lost 5 lbs.  It's fucking awesome.  
 Anyway, if you're feeling totally bummed for no reason and have started to gain weight for no reason, get your thyroid checked.*
 
 *I wouldn't have gotten mine checked if it were not for Jillian Michaels' relating her experience in her book, which prompted me.

Synthroid was heaven sent.  It still is.  Though I don't get the 10 years younger and 5 pounds lighter thing any more. |
