Marco Thylo February Searches for Dear Thyroid

Marco Thylo is a thyroid humor column based on the searches Dear Thyroid came up on for the previous month, written by Joanna Isbill and Katie Schwartz. We do fly in some news at the bottom of each post when we have news. So, there’s that.

Joanna Isbill

  1. Jokes about the thyroid: We LOVE jokes about the thyroid. You tell. We laugh.
  1. 2010 hypothryoid: 2010, the year of the jacked butterfly gland.  It’s only March and we’ve already forgotten all our New Year’s Resolutions. Thank you, thymentia.
  1. Any positive outcomes of having your thyroid out?: Is that supposed to be a joke about the thyroid?
  1. Bladder torture:  The new torture method of choice. Waterboarding is a thing of the past.
  1. Blogspot.com thyroid men:  Male bloggers who dress up like butterflies?  Sweet.  What better way to create awareness for thyroid diseases and cancers?

Katie Schwartz

  1. Erotic Signs#II=20: Is that code for creating erotic thyroid porn. Let’s think of thylicious porn titles, shall we? “Pulp Sex Drive-less”, “Swollen Hal”, “On Hairless Pond”. Care to add yours, too?
  1. “Whoopi Goldberg”, sneeze, pee, doctor: I haven’t spoken with Whoopi’s people, but if she’s looking for a sneeze and pee doctor, I doubt she’d be posting about it. Oops, I was wrong. Whoopi is speaking out about bladder control issues. BRAVO, GIRL! Can I get a, whoop-whoop?! Bladder control is an issue for millions of women and men. The fact that she’s willing to discuss it; well that’s just fabulous, and gives us the courage to speak up and out about our respective diseases.
  1. Blood Backordered for Thyroid: Question… Forgive me, I’m confused. How do you back order blood? “Hey, can I get blood from Jack Brimmer from 20-years ago? I’d like to check his thyroid results? Can you spare a vial?”
  1. Broadcast your Ass: Unfortunately, many of us are forced to do so, thanks to thyroid disease. We will continue broadcasting our bold and beautiful asses!

Thylicious News!

Denver Coffee Break Co-Thyvent from 10AM to 4PM in Morse Park. Please click for details. This is an offline meet up co-hosted by Coffee Break and Dear Thyroid, and a wonderful opportunity to connect with other thyroid patients.

Please continue adding your locations to the Dear Thyroid Forums for Local Meet-ups. We have someone joining us who will be coordinating local meet-ups and bringing patients together for offline support. Your patience is greatly appreciated. We are making this happen. And, and, and, you can check out what other patients have said about their meet ups.

Have you submitted your photo for the Dear Thyroid Flickr Pool this month “Reinventing Ourselves“? If not, please do. We’d love your visual story and to know what reinventing yourself means to you.

If you missed Liz’s column today, please check it out. Liz discusses how HTKYA came to be, and the science behind nutrition. Additionally, she discusses myths and misconceptions surrounding how nutrition is perceived by Western medicine. She makes outstanding points and its well worth the read.

Mary Shomon is considering a 3-day thyroid seminar in Tampa with one-on-one thyroid coaching sessions. If you’re interested, please connect with her; this is a terrific thyopportunity!

Dial A Disease Wheel Word Mash-Up Game

dearthyroid | February 13th, 2010 | 30 Comments »

dial a disease literary game

Yesterday via Twitter and Facebook, we played a word mash-up game: Whatever your diseases are, combine them into one word. Example: Hashimoto’s + Fibro = Hashibro.

Below, you’ll see that the game morphed into a glandly lit-a-thon that included symptoms and issues thyroid patients face, but in word mash-up style.

Shan McKenzie Thycolepsy, thytzheimers, thymnesia, Hashibesity, letharoiditis, thymentia, glandaphopic, glandanoid, thysolated, thyagnosed, hyperglandanoid, hypomental, schizohashineouroitis, phlemstipated, hivespitations, constitration, confuguments, clutsomoto’s, apatharoid, hypervated……. Thytango Thyversation

Hans-Dieter Honscheid Thyropath, Thyromaniac…. Thypercalifragilistic-endo-alidociou

Ana Prpic Thyfriends

Ciara Maher MISthyagnosis

Robyn Davis Hahn Friendo

Today, @HDInOregon came up with Thylympics (thyilliant!)

How about having our very own Thylympics (that’s a handsome looking word, isn’t it?)… we could have disciplines like “Endo chasing”… or “Sleep Walking” … or how about “Eye Balling” for the Grave’s specialist among us?… can you come up with more?

Enter your word mash-ups for the Dear Thyroid Glossary (with proper credit) and your Thylympics entries; it’s V-day weekend, why not have a little glandly fun?!

Marco Thylo… Is Back!

Thyroid humor, thyroid humor column, Marco Thylo, Joanna Isbill, Katie Schwartz, humor writers

Thanks to Joanna Isbill, we’re bringing Marco Thylo back; our thyroid humor column. The name “Marco Thylo” was coined by @HypoGirl.

On the first Saturday of every month, Joanna Isbill and I will be writing Marco Thylo. We’ll be taking the top 10 searches from the previous month and writing our snarky responses. Why? Because life in the Gland Canyon can get a little intense, we need a laugh, a little relief from our thyrama.

Written by Joanna Isbill

Babes taking a piss on poise pads: Are bringing sexy back?

Doctors who ate specialists: Well that explains where all the good endocrinologists have gone.  Dr. Cannibalarella, you are the bane of our existence!

Farmer Wisconsin thyroid:  What, was hell going to freeze over before our endos informed us there is a farmer in Wisconsin growing thyroids?!  And I thought I was going to have to live without a thyroid for the rest of my life.  Darlin’, you just give me a call when it’s harvest time and I’ll shoot up to Wisconsin to pick up my gland.  Now will you have a curbside market, or should I just knock on your front door?

How many years does a thyroid patient leave: Well, sugar britches, that just depends.  If the doctor ate her endocrinologist, she might never come back.  But if our farmer in Wisconsin harvests that crop of thyroids soon, you go ahead and turn the front porch light on and get ready to welcome home your long lost lover.

Glazed and confused my gym partner is a monkey:  Honey, we’re glazed and confused, too, but it’s not because we have monkeys for gym partners.  It’s because many of us spend days at the gym, just think about a Big Mac, and gain ten pounds.  Why don’t you leave the monkey at home with the ganja that you are clearly smoking and invest in a human trainer?  Mm k, pumpkin?

Sweat dripping breasts erotical: What hyperthyroid or Graves’ patient wouldn’t agree: profuse, uncontrollable sweaty breasts to the point of needing to change shirts 3-4 times a day isn’t hot, hot, hot?! Even better when paired with their hearts pounding out of their chests, it sure is erotical. Boy, I tell you, speaking from experience, those days were awesome; why just getting out of bed would yield buckets of sweat, enough to be the envy of any third world country in need of a little H2o. By the way, I hate to be a pain in the ass, but erotical isn’t a word. Erotically and erotic are words.

Ate tuna sandwich thyroid imaging with uptake: Dude, you were allowed to eat during your scan and tuna no less?! Would love the name of your shitendo—def want to pass his/her name along to other patients. Really knows his/her stuff. Must be at the top of their game, yo! Really savvy.

Docs fucking patients: Like this is new?! Shrinks have been bangin’ their patients for years. Not all, just a select few. The ones who really care about their patients overall wellbeing, so sweet, right?

Endo pain every day: In my rectal gland.

Freakish vaginas: Word to the Graves’ girls! That’s right; our snatch packages are riddled in polka dots. Wanna bend me?

Care to add your humorous thyroid touch to this week’s column?

Next Sunday, How To Kick Your Thyroid’s Ass will be back.

Katie Schwartz Column Dear Thyroid, Marco Thylo, Dear Thyroid Updates

To our American readers, Happy Thygiving. may your thyroids gland calmly in the canyon today.

Before we get started, that sounds so seminaree, please pardon the rather jacked font issues we’re having on the site. I think the site’s hyperthyroid. One day, the font is Georgia, the next it’s Times New Roman. We are in the process of resolving these issues. Kindly give us a few days. Thank you for your patience. My apologies for the inconvenience.

We are still continuing our Dear Thyroid Local Meet Ups. In fact, we’ve added two new cities. The online support and community that we’ve created as a family is outstanding. Offline support has enormous power, too. It brings us closer to each other and makes us feel less alone, evidenced by the Pembroke, MA meet up. Please join us. Email Katie@dearthyroid.com and provide me with your location and email address. I will connect you with Dear Thyroidians in your city. One meet up can lead to monthly meet ups and support groups. How exciting is that?!

We’ve just launched “Wearing My Disease On My Sleeve™“, an endeavor that we believe will further our collective objective, to drag our asses out of the Thyloset, empower ourselves and change the face of thyroid diseases and cancers. I believe in us, and our collective power to invoke change. Who wants in?!

We’ve revised our “About Us” page, which includes our Positioning Statement and our Mission Statement. I digress, please forgive the jacked font and spacing issues, we’re working on it.

We have a very exciting new kind of Meet Up that we’re deploying, created by two of our very own community members, Lolly and Billie. They’ll be sharing with us shortly.

In December, we are launching a really exciting Blog Tour hosted by Dear Thyroid called “Thyoliday Blues and Truths”. We’ll be introducing the community to some kick ass bloggers in the thyroid disease and thyroid cancer communities. If you’re interested in participating, we’d love to have you! Please email katie@dearthyroid.com for details. (Special Thanks to our good friend @leahjones for this thytastic idea.)

Searches to be posted next week. As you can see, lots of change in the Gland Canyon continues, but it’s pretty damn good change, donchya think?

Love,

Me
