Guest guest Posted April 8, 2007 Report Share Posted April 8, 2007 , Yes that is a very good question why my doc has left me with these levels like this. I am going to her next week with all my info and find out why. I found her on the Armour site before I had my surgery because I new I wanted to be on Armour. I didn't know any of this untill I joined this great group. I will let everyone know what I find out. Happy Easter, Bernetta -- Re: New Member > > Hi Peggy and Welcome!

Guest guest Posted April 8, 2007 Report Share Posted April 8, 2007 But levels of what? Do you know whether you've even had a Free T4 and a Free T3 run and what their values are? You need to know these things yourself and not accept that they are just " normal range " in someone else's words, including the doc's. What is normal for one person is not normal for another one. new member >i was diagnosed with hypothyroidism a year ago. i get my levels > checked every three months and they are with in normal range . i take > synthroid every day.

Being cold is a sign of hypo..you want to make sure your doc is running the proper tests and also find out what the doc considers normal? Exactly what is the dco trying to do by testing every 3 months? Has the meds increased at all? Kats3boys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 28, 2007 Report Share Posted April 28, 2007 Hi, My name is Sheila. I am 32 and have been diagnosed with Hashimoto's disease. I was diagnosed about 5 years ago. I am tired of everything, tired of just getting by and of always feeling tired and lazy. I am a stay at home mom with 2 kids (3 years and 9 months). I want to be the kind of mom that plays with her kids, but I am can't seem to get off the couch. When I do play with them it is only for a few minutes. Does anyone have any ideas on getting my energy up? My blood tests are coming back in the "normal" range. I am also clutzy like my hand eye coordination is off. I keep knocking things off tables, and I can never find the pen that I just put down. Sheila Ahhh...imagining that irresistible "new car" smell? Check out new cars at Yahoo! Autos.

Guest guest Posted April 29, 2007 Report Share Posted April 29, 2007 HI, I can totally relate. I have 3 girls, 7, 5, and 22months. I always dreamed of doing crafts with my kids and sewing them clothes. I hate it when we drive by the park and I have to say not today, I am soooo tired. I have finally found a little releif taking Iodoral and Armor thyroid, and Progesterone. Hope this might help a little. __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
