I just read in magazine Brittany Spears is pushing high dose of thyroid meds to lose weight!!!!! What is wrong with her?

We all know what that can do to ourselves ...... it can be life threatening!  Well, she is pretty messed up and back in the hosp today I heard.  

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr such stupidity!

You know, a few months ago when my doc upped my dosage I started losing weight and all my friends jokingly said "hey, I want some of that thyroid medicine!"  And I thought to myself at the time "how is it that people don't abuse thyroid meds?"  I would never consider messing with it but I am really shocked that it isn't something big in Hollywood. Or maybe it is and we just don't hear about it. I can't even imagine.....

Hopefully she will get the treatment she needs, now.  She is so young and uninformed and needs help and support.  I am so blessed to have my children in good shape.  I hope she recovers, soon.
