Guest guest Posted April 19, 2001 Report Share Posted April 19, 2001 Nan, It's so good to see you having time to post more often! You have been sorely missed! And, it's good to know that your turtle-paced weight loss may have an easy medical solution. You've worked so hard, you deserve a lucky break. I hope that the thyroid medications you'll be taking will start taking those pounds right off! Be SURE to keep us posted! Terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 19, 2001 Report Share Posted April 19, 2001 : I knew that hair loss was a sign of thyroid dysfunction, but I had never heard the eybrow thing. Having a level drawn can't hurt.Good luck.

Guest guest Posted April 21, 2001 Report Share Posted April 21, 2001 Did learn something new tho ( pay attn) .....people , particularly women, with thyroid problems will have eyebrows that go about only half way across. She pointed out mine, they do start normal at the inner edge, and about half way thin to almost nothing. Hmmmm, I don't have that problem, never had, even with all my thyroid problems, although my levels were never abnormal. I had cysts on my thyroid and had two separate surgeries to remove most of my thyroid. I have a small portion left and am on 0.125 mg daily. My eyebrows have always been "normal". in Tucson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 21, 2001 Report Share Posted April 21, 2001 Hi ! Long time so "see" ! I was quoting what my very young female doctor said....I had never heard of this before either. But them my thyroid level was 59, WAY TOO HIGH.And I had not been on meds for over 30 years like I should have been (and would have been but for a quack doc who said if I wasn't having any symptoms I didn't need it. How've you been girl??

Guest guest Posted April 21, 2001 Report Share Posted April 21, 2001 Thanks Robin...I've had brain fog lately, and especially this morning! The good old withdrawal headache set in about 3 a.m. and I can't even type with one hand let alone two,lol. And caffiene withdrawal isn't helping much. hugs, Nan (Alias Ms. Magoo)Please Support Macular Degeneration And Other Vision Loss Researchhttp://members.aol.com/danlrob/MDpeople/www.puppymillrescue.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 20, 2003 Report Share Posted March 20, 2003 Hi, Brat. To whom are you addressing that you have Graves'? Is that news, or have you had it for some time? Just curious. I may have to go through more thorough thyroid testing soon, and am wondering. Hugs, MM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
