Guest guest Posted September 4, 2004 Report Share Posted September 4, 2004 Hi, all, I saw a new doctor yesterday. What a pompous A$$! Oh my gosh Fresh out of residency - I thought that would be a bonus - new ideas, maybe less concerned with actual numbers. NOT! He must have told me 6 times that my levels were in the normal range. " It doesn't matter which end of the range - it's still normal. " Ugh. He strongly feels that I have sleep apnea - hmm, didn't know that caused a goiter. So, I'm on my own until November, when I'll be able to see yet another doctor (I have a little bit of hope - it's a woman). Anyway, has anyone heard of Thyax? I just ran across a link to it - http://www.progressivehealth.com/catalog/displayitem.asp?product=2 - it says " Thyax can help your body produce more thyroxine to naturally stimulate your thyroid function " . One month supply is $29.95 - any thoughts, opinions, experiences? Thanks, Jodi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 4, 2004 Report Share Posted September 4, 2004 Hey, I've had the tests done - just about a month ago, I think. TSH - 1.27 (0.3 - 5.0) MIU/ML> Free T3 - 3.32 (1.7 - 3.7) pg/ml Free Thyroxine - 1.0 (0.7 - 1.9) NG/DL Antimicrosomal AB - 0.23 <= 0.90 negative 0.91 - 1.09 suggest repeat >= 1.10 positive Thyroglobulin AB - 0.06 <= 0.90 negative 0.91 - 1.09 suggest repeat >= 1.10 positive My biggest complaint right now is the fatigue, followed closely by a growing goiter, weight gain (and inability to lose) and lots of other things. I've never heard of Anoka I live central IL - in the town that I grew up in. I hated my name in grade school - no one else was named Jodi. Not even a Jody (except on Family Affair, LOL).
