It is definitely her thyroid.
Which is good. Thyroid means a pill (or in her case, two pills). Thyroid doesn’t mean death. Yippee!!!!
She’s been on the pills for nearly a month now, and I’ve been seeing marked improvements for the last couple of weeks. At first it was just the fact that her breathing had improved, sounded less labored. Then just last week I noticed that her hair was coming back in, where it had all fallen out on the sides.
Stairs are still really hard on her, but I think that’s just a fact of her getting older. Aspirin helps, but she’s a turkey about taking it. Even with her thyroid pills, I have to crack them open, sprinkle them on her food, then pour beef broth into it and stir it all up to get her to take the pills.
