Went over the tests,and he only ordered TSH and Free T4! I went off! Looking for new Doc now. My labs were TSH 0.28 0.40-5.50 Free T4 1.6 0.8-1.8 He said I was low on T4.

I have worked my butt off to lose weight, exercise strict diet,vitamins, boosters,wieghts,etc,haven't worked this hard in 12 years(have reunion in April.ARRRRGGGGGHHHH) I have lost 30 lbs. yea me.Only 80 to go.ugh. Well the good Dr. has decided that the weight loss is due to his wonderful skills as a Physician and Nothing to do with me. Freakin' EGO!!! After they pried my hands off his throat, I mentioned that I might have to find a new Doc. Oh should mention, Have had Hashi's for 16 years,Have been on Synthroid 15 of those (from .05 to 400) Have repeatedly asked for Armour.No go. Am a daily lurker here at this site for a couple months.Not real confident of adding to reccommendations,besides who needs my advice when we have Topper. Topper, you Rock! Thanks for listening!

Guest guest Posted October 20, 2004 Report Share Posted October 20, 2004 Tips?On weight loss?ME!!!???Honey,have you got the wrong gal!!!haha I'll tell you what I'm doing and if it helps at all,wonderful! If not we're no worse off,eh? First,work yourself into a complete panic when you get a call from people you haven't seen in 16 years and 110lbs and they want to do a reunion thing!!!OH MY GOD!!! There goes 3 lbs before you get off the phone. Next try to remember all sensible things you have ever learned of diet and nutrition, then think REUNION and throw all that out the window and proceed to only have diet Dr.Pepper,black coffee, and cigs for the next 7 days,throwing in a multi-vitamin on occasion for a little wicked variety. WAKE UP!!! On week 2, remember that these evil,nasty reunion people have been possessed by Satan himself to ever call you to begin with! Then ,Breathe, and start a "real"diet.For me this is supported by Healthy weight forum on the web and a picture of myself in1989. I do 1000 calories a day. Mostly Fish,Chicken,hard boiled eggs,veggies,as much whole foods as possible,wild or brown rice,etc... supplements are DAILY Green tea fat metabolizer to help speed fat burn Phase 2 carb blocker Power Green(antioxidents and veggies in one delicious? drink) Cortisol power block(stress and fat) Whey protein LIQUID Vitamin(major and trace minerals that hit the bloodstream) Light excersise,although I am feeling strong enough now that I am going to join Curves tonight. I started at 232 and am down to 202. 9 1/2 weeks. By the way,those evil,nasty possessed people are some of the men I served with in the Marine Corps.(and I have stopped wishing that they are all bald and have grown man boobs) Hope it helps!

Guest guest Posted October 20, 2004 Report Share Posted October 20, 2004 My dear, you had me rolling on the floor... I know this regime wont' work for everyone.... I'm glad that it worked for you... I'm one of the lucky ones... even though my dad is in the same house that he and my mom bought in '69, and I graduated in '75... no one has ever contacted me by mail (have had several phone number changes in three decades). I was not of the 'in' crowd and I guess no one ever bothered to try to track me down. It's not like it would have been hard to find me!! hehehehehe Next year will be 30 years... I wonder if they'll contact me for that one!! Balding heads and man boobs... I get think of a few class mates that I'd LOVE to see in that condition!!! heeheheheh To be a bit serious.. I'm glad that you kept up with the nutrition.. reducing the calories that far really isn't good for you nutritionally.... You are eating often, right? to keep your conversion up?

Guest guest Posted October 22, 2004 Report Share Posted October 22, 2004 Yes, well, maybe we could experiment on the doc to see whether he's going to think any of his former opinions are true, after he gets thyroid disease. Then, let's see, remember that treatment program we are going to implement, saved especially for medical professionals who will then become believers in the faith? Re: Lip Service Oh, c'mon, ..

Guest guest Posted October 22, 2004 Report Share Posted October 22, 2004 You mean the one where we jump their doses up and down and around and switch brands on them every couple of weeks and then tell them they can take it any old time of the day, doesnt' matter if they've eaten or not and then when they've gained about 200 pounds tell them that the only way to lose weight is to drink slim fast three times a day and eat no solid food? Okay... I'll get that typed up as a handout! *wink* Topper () On Fri, 22 Oct 2004 06:29:56 -0500 " " writes: Yes, well, maybe we could experiment on the doc to see whether he's going to think any of his former opinions are true, after he gets thyroid disease.

Guest guest Posted October 24, 2004 Report Share Posted October 24, 2004 Oh Topper, you gave the cut version of it, but yeh, that's part of it, yeh, a very small part of it. You were nicer today than I was.
