					<description>Christine, please start doing yourself on strong Vitamin B complex. I was all over the place with my diabetes type 2 diagnosis and now have self diagnosed hypothyroidism. I was extremely stressed and my memory was like a sieve. I have calmed down, am sleeping better already and working on remembering more now that I am on the vitamins.</description>

					<description>I am asthmatic, hypothyroid, have diabetes 2, and unable to focus, all of which make me depressed. I hardly eat desserts, rarely drink soda, and when I do, I dilute it with a lot of water, which makes it tasteless. I am a visual artist, doing portraits in brushed charcoal. Ever since being diagnosed with Diabetes after more than 10 yrs of  my right thyroidectomy and left one earlier, I have lost a lot of focus. As a result, I do not accept any commissions anymore, being unable to complete my work. I spend way too much on meications and lab, and have to be supported by my 72 year old mother. I cry myself to sleeo every now and then, as I feel helpless. I do not want to go to tha doctor anymore, and at 45, I feel me and my life are worthless.</description>

					<description>Donna - hypothyrodism weight gain is mostly water - not fat - so very difficult to lose any weight.  Can you get Free t3 and Free t4 tests.  Ths TSH does not give you a good reading and you are probably undermedicated.  I got this from MedHelp in their forum.</description>

					<description>I was diagnosed with Hashimoto Hypothyroidism in 2004 and started on synthroid and have been taking it ever since.  I had put on weight and was eating may 500-600 calories a day my endo told me to keep my calories under or at 1000 a day. So I kept going down in calories to lose weight and never did. I think this advise was bad and caused me to ruin my pancreas insulin function. So I was diagnosed with Type 2 in July of 2011 and have been taking Metformin and I have adema and take a water pill for that.  Slowly losing weight 1 pound a month but my A1C is climbing but my blood sugar testing is in the 97-99 range in the morning ( only when uninterrupted sleep). blood sugar is higher when you have interrupted or not enough sleep. I was put on Metformin with a fasting blood sugar of 110. Had borderline gestational diabetes when pregnant. Diabetes runs in family also the thyroid problem and my dad has the adema issue. Hereditary. Just had tests run blood sugar readings are great but now cholesterol is up and the free TSH 4 is thru the roof. Had high blood pressure readings and fast heart rate. AIC highest yet.  Taking the metformin always watch what I eat and still count calories keep it at 1000 or just a little over. To get the low reading in the morning eat 10 raw Almonds right before you go to bed.  The high readings in the morning that you are getting is the length of time between meals is too long so your pancreas dumps the stored insulin into your liver and kidneys which gives you the high reading.  I cut my synthroid dose in half and the heart rate is way down and blood pressure is good. I feel pretty good so far will report after my tests in May. Our lives are not easy and I used to be a size 3 prior to thyroid problem I am just now back into my size 8's. This just sucks but got to deal. Make peace with yourself. Have you ever seen a skinny person with Hypothyroidism? Never.  The endo's will keep trying to tell you to lose weight it is an impossibility as with these endocrine issues comes the bone and joint issues and arthritis which keeps you from being able to exercise.  Try and make peace and love yourself for who you are now. People will be cruel and tell you that you are fat. My daughter and my dad have told me that and it just hurts. Do they think I am choosing to be this weight? That is a big no.  If this is done to you chalk it up to their ignorance to your condition.  Take care and love yourself even if no one else does! Prayers to all with this affliction :-)</description>

					<description>Hypothyroidism I am finding is a tricky little bugger. I was off and on both Synthroid and Thyroid (natural) and suffered side effects from both. Increased joint and muscle pain, stiffness, feeling hungry and insomnia. Finding the right dose, the right doctor, is like searching for a needle in a haystack. After suffering alarming symptoms, I am back on the Synthroid, except that I am still tired -- still have the extreme dry skin, hives, and hair loss. I feel that Hashimoto's needs to be studied more. Even with treatment the antibodies wreak havoc on the body, and the effects go well beyond damaging the thyroid. 

It doesn't help that endocrinologists can't even agree on what constitutes normal range, and that the impression is that hypothyroid is easy to treat. Nothing could be further from the truth! Taking your little pill every day may not and probably WILL not be enough. I know now that I have to educate myself, teach myself and learn from others experiences so as to get the most optimum treatment for my health. DV I will live another 20-25 years, and hopefully feeling as good as I possibly can.</description>

					<description>Hi, I was diagnosed with Hypothyroidsm in 2003 despite a good initial response  to the low dose of levothyroxine for the first 6 months,  the symptoms gradually returned over a period of about a year.   The 50 pounds I managed to lose with low carb diet &#38; exercise have slowly returned along with the other symptoms; always cold, chronic fatigue &#38; lethargy, hair loss etc. Every annual check I plead with my Dr. to prescribe a higher dose of meds just so I can feel better, but they only treat the blood results not my symptoms !  Today after a routine visit due to an ear infection, the Dr. thinks I may have Diabetes.  My brother has type 2 (no hypothyroidism) My sister &#38; Mother both have the Hypothyroidsm but not diabetes (yet !)  So many of the symptoms are also confused with my recent Menopause symptoms I feel as if I am going mad and just want to feel fit &#38; well again.</description>

					<description>Well your blog may be inactive, but maybe this is a topic to reinvigorate your blog now? Maybe? In any case this is just what I needed. Right now I'm experimenting with different themes, and have to reenter the styles each time I change the theme. Even after I settle on one theme, if I ever decide to change it, I have to read the code again. This plugin now effectively removes all that pain and suffering! Great stuff. I'll go install it right now.</description>

Glad you like the dim state. By class dependency I just meant you don't need to manually add the overlabel class to the labels you want to use the script on. It works, but I'm definitely a novice when it comes to jQuery. I would be interested to see how you might use your existing plugin to integrate a dim state. I've used your plugin many times, so thanks for your work.

					<description>I know this is long after this thread has died down, but I was wonder if you could give an update on your diabetes/thyroidism situation. What worked, what didn't and how you are doing? I am a type II metabolic poster boy and am self-diagnosing for hypotyroidism and asking my doctor to have me tested. It amazes me that this possibility has not been ventured by any of my doctors to date. It sure helps to be informed and thanks for this post.</description>

I like the dim state a lot.  I never considered doing that.

But I'm not sure what you mean by "the class dependency".  The version that's been developed here uses CSS for styling.  I wouldn't want to remove that feature.

I'm also curious as to why you choose to link the label and the input control by DOM ordering (using "prev") when there is already a semantically meaningful link between them in the label's "for" tag.

One more thing, I just realized, too.  Yours looks as though it will act very oddly if JS is off.  Have you tested that?</description>

<p>I&#8217;m also curious as to why you choose to link the label and the input control by DOM ordering (using &#8220;prev&#8221;) when there is already a semantically meaningful link between them in the label&#8217;s &#8220;for&#8221; tag.</p>
<p>One more thing, I just realized, too.  Yours looks as though it will act very oddly if JS is off.  Have you tested that?</p>

					<description>Hi everyone,

I know that many of you have Hypothyroid and Type 2 diabetes.

Hashimoto's is an autoimmune disorder, which will eventually branch out to other parts of your body regardless of whether you take a replacement thyroid hormone.
I am 36 and was diagnosed at 23 with Hashimoto's. Now, I have symptoms of late onset Type 1 diabetes and Celiac disease.
The connection is scary because the autoimmune disease will eventually affect, by brain and other parts of my body.

We need to understand that gluten exacerbates autoimmune disorders and is often the cause.</description>

					<description>If you're having issues with jQuery UI Datepicker and using this technique insert "change( hide_label )" before ".focus( hide_label ).blur( show_label ).each( hide_label ).each( show_label );" and it will solve your issues.</description>

					<description>I wish I had some wisdom to offer...I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's in September of 2009. I went to the Doctor (internist) with pain in my upper left abdomen (in the area of my pancreas), and he tested me for a whole host of things. My TSH and other bloodwork was normal (except for elevated bilirubin),  but my antibodies were 980! I was also experiencing achy joints, cold ALL of the time, extreme dry skin, occasional panic attacks (once or twice a year), and what I like to refer to as "the fog". I was excited to find out that all of these things were not just a part of being me. I was given a prescription and sent home. My excitement was short lived. After being on  a beginning dose of 50 mg for 4 weeks, my pain was gone, my skin was getting better, and I had more energy...but I felt like I was going crazy! The room would start spinning and I was having panic attacks every day! When I went back for my follow up appointment, the Doctor thought I probably just needed a higher dose. So I started taking 75's and then 88's. After 9 weeks of total compliance (taking meds every day) the spinning and anxiety were getting even worse. I couldn't go anywhere... Finally I just called the Doctor in tears and he told me to go off them and see what happens. I went off them for 2 months, but never fully returned to how I was before I started the meds, aka MY normal. The fog was constant, and my vision was somewhat blurry, and the aches and pains of course came back full force. I guess reactions to thyroid meds is rare, and side effects usually go away with time, but 9 weeks! I just feel like there is something else going on with me, and I'm thinking maybe Diabetes may be the answer. I am hesitant to try anything right now because of the side effects. I am not overweight, but I used to be. After the birth of my 4th child I got depressed and put on alot of weight, and stayed heavy for about 2 years. I have always battled my weight because I LOVE food, but when I got up to 286, I knew I needed to do something. I started exercising and joined Weight watchers and lost 140 pounds (NO SURGERY!!) in a year and a half. I've kept it off for 5 years next month, but this thing with my thyroid etc. is really messing with my appetite. I am so confused and don't know what to do. I went to an endocrinologist to get a second opinion, and he told me I didn't need meds and gave me a bunch of (expensive) vitamins, herbs, etc., and had me do a detox. I lost weight, in fact got too skinny, and was still achy, tired, cold and foggy. I have searched the internet for all kinds of ideas, including diets, but I am frustrated. I would welcome any ideas. I am sorry this is such a long post, most of you probably didn't make it past the first few sentences. It just feels good to write this down and get it out of my system. Thank you for your help :)</description>

					<description>I haven't seen this, but it's not terribly surprising.  Do you have a test page somewhere?

Something like overlabel would make a good extension to the Datepicker, I think.  But I don't know that code at all to suggest how it might best be incorporated.</description>
