@TannisRoot: I'm giving my cat a liquid medicine twice a day. As Al_B mentioned surgery is also an option, but it carries a risk of cutting out too much thyroid tissue and getting the opposite problem. But I'm considering it. There's also (

In any case it will take a while before she gets back to her normal weight of uh 5,5kg. Right now she's very skinny. But she started eating regularly again and beginning to look better. I think she spent another of her 9 lives.
On a completely different note: I finished watching Archer's 8th season. And unlike the Miami Vice themed season 5 I had some unexpected problems getting into this film noir distraction. Mainly because it was less funny and much darker than anything before, without reflecting much on it. While Archer himself was more relatable this time around, many other characters fell short. Instead Barry came back yet again, which I always held to be the most boring nemesis.

My condolences Harvester, and anyone else experiencing illness of family and pets.
I'm going through bunch of medical tests now (racking up those bills) as I've been suffering from chronic fatigue for a few years now :|

Man, that must suck. 😕
Let them check your potassium level. It's not limited to cats, to be fatigued from a low level.

Damn, Harvester, sorry to hear about your wife. And sorry about your chronic fatigue, Koob.
Some people here have genuine problems, but lets not let that get in the way of me complaining about my first world problems, shall we? I'm on week 2 of my 6 week summer vacation and I'm bored! I should've booked a trip or something. At least I've got plenty of time to get some shit done! So that's what I'm doing. Every day I get up at 8:15 and go for a morning jog. Then shower, breakfast, and after that I try to spend at least an hour getting something done in Unity. I'm also gonna remaster some of my old animations and put them on youtube, clear my Steam backlog, clean this place up, and bake something. I've also upgraded my apartment a bit, bought new lamps. And I've found a buyer for my old apartment so I'm in the middle of that whole process.

Same here, henke. Although for me it's mostly clearing out my Steam and non-Steam backlog and trying to get some shit done in Dromed.

Henke, you still need to do that freaky 3D VR version of a Pac-Man ghost, don't you? That should while away a morning.

I'm guessing this thread doesn't have to be all doom and gloom, some "status updates" should be positive and include personal success stories too. Or just fun stuff.
Me, I've been working out like a madman, and whipping my diet into shape too. Trying to lose 30 pounds by fall.

:D My backpain didn't kill me today! And I washed the feet of a young ballerina (from cat puke). And then we danced to 99 Luftballons.

I've been undergoing a series of tests and so far nothing is found so I'm stuck with the generic "chronic fatigue" label aka you feel like crap and we don't know why. I did have a low white blood cell count tho, but that just raises more questions than answers. Also low sodium, surprise given I am pretty generous with salt and definitely opposite of sweet tooth.
Maybe it really is just in my head and my brain is borked...

Motherboard fried on a 7-month-old $1500 laptop today. =(
7 months is really too early for motherboards to be frying out.
I believe this isn't under a special warranty, just the factory one which used to be 1 year back in the day so I must have thought companies still did that. But it seems it's only for 30 days. And I honestly thought I bought the 2-year warranty but it seems I bought that for something else & not this one because I can't find the receipt email for it (but can find all the other receipt emails).
So I guess that means I'll have to bite the bullet for a $600+ motherboard + repair is probably another $200 + shipping... Blech.
