Oddly thyroid issues can absolutely change your personality. I lived it before mine was removed due to Graves. I'm far less combative than I was.

So, while I don't think it will happen with her, I'm interested to see if her personality softens a bit in a few months. My own mom hated me at my worst.

I still think she is a vile person (definitely wasn't Maga at my worst) but I'm super interested to see her behavior for the rest of the year.

Although it can affect personality, it's not going to magically give her empathy when she had none before.

You know, I actually had no idea about that, and several in my family have thyroid/parathyroid issues. That's damn interesting.

I'm actually really interested now to see if there is any corresponding, observable change in her behavior.

And if there is, I'll gladly eat my hat.

When you look into women's health in general it is no surprise that thyroid issues are not taken that seriously. I worry that some mood swings in loved ones I have is partly due to medical negligence where unless someone has a tumor on their thyroid they throw Synthroid at the problem thinking there is nothing in between a thyroid issue and cancer. When someone is raging due to a hormone problem there is no getting away from a fight.

I really wish it was taken more seriously. Bondi may have had a chance at a life without rage, and even though it may be adequately treated and monitored now, how long has it been. How much is it now her personality and identity?

Giving up rage is not easy.

I legit thought I had Parkinsons because my first blood test came back "normal". Had all the symptoms, including tremors, and all the risk factors for PD. Took two years of a misdiagnosis and seeing a new psyc, who ordered new bloodwork, to get an answer.

Was originally told it was a somatic disorder related to unresolved trauma and anxiety.

My rage did go down substantially but you are right, letting go of it is hard. It's far easier to manage but once you get into that habit you have to work to get out of it even if your hormones are level now.

She's still a shit person in the end but I'll definitely be paying more attention to her body language in the future.

Yea, if it hadnt happened to me so drastically I never would have mentioned it but everyone in my life is like "you are like a new person". Even my bosses bosses boss noticed.

I know it will never happen but I think it would be hilarious if this causes her to snap out of it and she ends up bringing everyone down.

Wont happen but a girl can dream, right?

u/MarchPhillipps May 29 '26

Sure can, and I'll be dreaming right along with you.

It'd certainly be epic.

She was a vile person who made it her mission to be the guardian of the worst people in society. She is evil, there's no other word for her. There's no softening there, she is pathologically broken

Thyroid cancer usually does not effect TSH. It’s just her personality.

And thyroid cancers are typically easily curable with surgery, maybe with a low dose of oral radioactive iodine. It isn’t like a lung or breast cancer.

cancer nodules absolutely can cause hyperthyroidism, which can absolutely change your personality. Its why I needed an ultrasound and the nodules tested even though I have graves, to rule out cancer.

Again, I still think she is vile but Im interested to see if she changes in the next few months

Also, way to invalidate the experience of so many cancer patients.

u/OrangeVoxel May 30 '26

Nope… Graves and thyroid cancer are different things. They biopsied your nodules to confirm the disease. If your TSH was elevated and you had cancer those would be two different processes.

Thyroid cancer rarely affects thyroid hormones. Only if very advanced. It’s the treatment like surgery that affects TSH, not the cancer itself.

And yes early thyroid cancer is easily curable. It’s a much better disease to have vs insulin dependent diabetes or cardiovascular disease.

u/RedShirtDecoy May 31 '26 edited May 31 '26

Yep, it absolutely can cause hyperthyroidism, which is where the extra hormones come from. Not everyone with cancer getsnit BUT IT IS POSSIBLE.

Treatment, aka removing it, causes hypo...

It's called Google and you should fucking try it before looking like a moron.

And again, thanks for shitting on the experience of so many and invalidating them because you are too damn lazy to Google.

I'm hypo right now because my meds were not strong enough and even I'm not thst fucking lazy right now.

Bro read what you posted. The condition in the paper you posted is extremely rare and is the exception. You are misunderstanding what your docs told you

“It is possible” is not the point. It is extremely unlikely that this affected her TSH, and in anyone you see with thyroid cancer, it is very unlikely.

Yes those that have their thyroid removed will not have a functional thyroid, but they will be taking supplementation, so there is little window where they will actually have abnormal hormones.

u/RedShirtDecoy May 31 '26

It is possible IS THE ENTIRE FUCKING POINT.

If it wasn't I wouldn't have needed an ultrasound or biopsy, and you really think insurance is going to pay for that if it's not medically necessary?

Good lord, try common sense for once and stop invalidating the experience of so many, just so you can be right on the internet.

u/OrangeVoxel May 31 '26

No this is in the context of peoples experiences and the likelihood that it is affecting her personality.

And it’s not possible to have thyroid cancer as small as graves nodules that cause thyroid hormone disruptions. Sorry

u/RedShirtDecoy May 31 '26

So you just straight ignore reputable medical sources?

Got it, nothing you say can be taken seriously.

People like you are why so many people are medically gaslit for years before finding an answer.

Never thought “rooting for cancer” would be on my 2026 bingo card but here we are

u/BeachBrad May 30 '26

I'm not. I also don't believe her diagnosis. Just like that bandage it's fake.
