I have Hashimotos, and it ain't no fun.

My Mom developed thyroid cancer at age 40 and they surgically removed the whole gland. Hormone replacement (Synthroid) for the most part leveled her out and she lived a long, mostly normal life afterward. Can Hashimotos be treated by thyroid removal? If that's the only thing the disease attacks, it looks like it would be a major improvement.

Sounds like Leah will have to decide - baby or a Top Fuel car? Best of luck to her and Tony.

If you zoom in a bit, me thinks there might be a little more than some baby making going on. Seems weird you'd do the bolt-on's before the baby, but hey! More power to her and Smoke.

I think most of the time Synthroid or equivlent is used, altho can remove the thyroid.

Ah, yes... The Practice Tree Nationals... of course. lol

Up here in the salt belt, when the "nice cars" are parked for the winter, there use to be a street race along the river road that leads to the power plant.

It was know as... The Winter Beater Winternationals. lol

We all have our struggles in life. Just some of us choose not to make them public.

I don't understand why she wants NHRA to give her an exemption for her absence during pregnancy. Isn't that a personal choice she's making?

 

[Nick Rienstra]

I’m sure she understands that a Covid like illness and pregnancy are two very different things right!?!??!??? You might miss a race or two with the flu but pregnancy is a 9 month journey. It seems totally out of line that a pregnant woman could get into her seat months down the road and win a championship. Maybe I’m missing something here? It’s also drawing unwanted media attention to a nonissue due to gender. She’s playing with political fire. I think she knows it too. Leah…Pleas don’t drag the NHRA through the political mud!
