That is exactly when my thyroid hormone was found to be low again, with the

test on November 1st, and even though I live on the Tx Gulf Coast, where the

temps are more ambient (30s to 50s this time of yr), the dampness involved,

with wks of ongoing cloudiness and no sun, at times, makes it feel just as

cold as up North where I originally came from, in North Tx, where it can get

down below 0 at times, so I'm experiencing this too, as we've had some temps

in the 30s here, with a few sunless days, from time to time. I did up my

dose 15 little mgs on November 4th, and it seems to be helping some.
