Ditto for pseudoepinephrine (Pseudafed). The danger is for

hyperthyroids, though, not for hypo-, although they do tend to raise

blood pressure for everyone.

want to hear something when I had knee surgery 4 years ago it took me

two months in bed to heal and I really could not understand it---well

I did find my old blood tests durning that time the ones you take pre-

op and guess what my tsh was .80

the doctor gave me an excuse that because I was white, blonde and

green eyed that I had a lower healing abiltiy--this he said before

the surgery and before the blood tests.

kind of weird --
