It's not a big deal if that's all it is. A tiny pill everyday keeps it in check and the plus side?

So request an antibody blood test too.Grumpy Chairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17719618593765537673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8023503051242263219.post-3114438522811030192008-04-25T23:25:00.000-07:002008-04-25T23:25:00.000-07:00I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism (eventually Ha...I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism (eventually Hashimoto's Thyroiditis) in 1997. I felt totally crappy for years prior--until I was sleeping 20 hours a day. I kid you not. Because I had other health issues, it got blown off by my doc. Finally, got a thyroid test and was out of whack. I had to switch endos to get one that wasn't a total ass. But finally got to feeling somewhat normal.<BR/><BR/>When you get the medication, if you have thyroid problems, it's like someone giving you a wake-up shot. Amazing.<BR/><BR/>Did I lose weight? Not much. I had gained 100 pounds by the time they diagnosed me. But some folks find it easier to lose after getting the dose in proper range.<BR/><BR/>Maybe you don't have any thyroid issue. Maybe you do. Trust me, it's betteer to KNOW and be able to address it.<BR/><BR/>Oh, and avoid soy. Bad for the thyroid.<BR/><BR/>The PrincessPrincess Dieter aka Mirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01121450857817115011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8023503051242263219.post-38670873737104395842008-04-25T17:19:00.000-07:002008-04-25T17:19:00.000-07:00I definitely think that is progress!
