Re: Little babies called T's--admittingly pushing the limit.

I rarely do labs. But last March, my free T3 was 5.something with

the top of the range being 4.2. I'd have to dig it up and my

computer area looks like the four hurricanes hit it. LOL. Nails are

That is so funny. I laughed out loud three times. Your book is

probably already there. You just need to put all your paperwork in

the right following order ..... (I hope you don't mind I'm teasing

you with writing a book ....).

> Nails are fine. Janie <

That's very interesting. You also have longstanding hypo and you are

on a high dose of Armour. Now, DNA thinks ridges in nails are due to

hypo. Can I be hypo with High Ft4 and Ft3 over high range? I thought

I had already pushed the little babies called T's admittingly over

their far ends limits. (you have the copyright of that one). Gosh,

I'm so confused..... as usual.
