Guest guest Posted December 19, 2002 Report Share Posted December 19, 2002 Dear Jeanie, I'm glad to hear you sorted out a major problem. My mother has thyroid problems, so I know how difficult achieving proper thyroid hormone levels can be. I hope sorting this out helps you have a happier holiday. Finally, you might consider trying L-glutamine. I can certainly understand your frustration with your doctor, but I also know how mercury can make people unusually irritable at times. If you are low in it, glutamine can help with this allot. - > & all, I just found out from my internist that my bone-head Dr. > (another one) has been over medicating me.
