Gees, I wish my thyroid would shrivel up.  It has caused me no end of
trouble.  After being sick for more than 5 years I don't remember what it
was like to be healthy.  I wish they'd just cut the damned thing out in the
first place instead of nuking it four times just to end up taking a
supplement forever and having blood tests every 2 months.  Any idea how I
can convince mine to shrivel up and be useless instead of fluctuating
madly?
