Guest guest Posted January 7, 2000 Report Share Posted January 7, 2000 Katharine, Please tell your friend she needs some T3. Her body probably isnt converting the T4 into usable T3.

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2000 Report Share Posted January 7, 2000 Lori, Thanks for the tip. I did hear that people like my friend were missing some other hormone but didn't know which. I will mention it to her. I think she can do better as far as doctors go too. Katharine Lori Fish wrote: > Katharine, > Please tell your friend she needs some T3.

I would have been a little more understanding but she was where she wasn't supposed to be when she wasn't supposed to be there. I tell you though, working keeps them busy and they can supply their own clothes! She is going to be saving for a car the next few months. in Bama http://hometown.aol.com/mdl1031/myhomepage/profile.html Surgery- RNY to DS revision on12/6 -377.5 12/17 - 346.5 ( minus 31lbs) 02/12-330.0 (minus 47.5 lbs) 05/12- 304.8 (minus 72.7 lbs)-BMI now 48 06/22- 290.8 (minus 86.7)BMI 46.
