Hi Marie..

Happy to hear that your up and running again with your computer.. I

wondered where you were!

So, if you get those lab numbers back from the doc.. please post.

Remember to post them with the actual ranges.. for example..

Tsh is usually something like between .5 and 5.5 ... something like

that. With TSH anything above 3 is suspect of hypo and even 2..

although the lab range is up to 5.5.

The Am Assoc of Endocrinoligists have changed the range from 5.5 to

3.0... but for some reason the laboratory reports do not reflect

that new number and if your doc is not familiar with this she will

say you are normal.

Also with the Free T's... your numbers should be in the upper 1/3 of

the range... you could be just slipping over the minimum and not

know it.. she's telling you your normal.

.... I saw that someone here said they used silica pellets...

actually silica does work.. it is great for hair and nails.

Silica is aka: horsetail.. When I first had my hair loss issue I

went to an herbalist who recommended it... The hair did stop falling

out within a week.. although it is falling out again now.. that's

another story.

Hugs.. Dawn

Thanks Dawn,

I am going to call the office first thing tomorrow morning. I don't even know exactly what tests she ran. She didn't even know what tests to run. She was kind of at a loss herself as to what tests to run, she said from not having any other symptoms that she really didn't know what else to test for.

When I get everything back I will post them.

I am going to try the silica tablets. I just don't know where to get the ones that go under the tongue and how much I should take. She said she takes 15 pellets under the tongue. That's quite a bit!
