BEAUTIFULLY said!! I have the very same view.... only right now in my life, I look at things much more differently. Hubby and I have been married for 16 1/2 years now. He is my "soul mate." I would cease to exist without him. Okay, that was a little dramatic, but it's how I feel... because I miss him SOOOOO much!! He is…

Okay! How good are you at interpreting tyroid test results? :smile: My TSH was 5.2, on the retest it was 4.82. From what I can find online, the normal range is 0.5 to 5.5, so I would fall in the "normal" range. Some would call normal 0.3 to 3.0, that would put me a tiny bit high. My Free T4 level was 1.15. Online says 0.7…

So, I went in to the doc today. All they did was another blood test. The first test was just the general screening they do at physicals. My TSH was 5.2, which is only marginally high. So they did another test today to get the T3, T4, and redo the TSH levels. Now, its back to waiting for these results to come back!

We have sunshine! Bright, beautiful, sunshine to bring on a HOT, HUMID, sticky kind of day!

I'm in central VA. I heard that they were worring about shorages, so filled up this afternoon since I was out anyway. It was 3.41 - which is actually lower than I've seen it here in a long time. The station wasn't overly busy. There was only one open pump (which I quickly snagged) but that's common for this station as gas…

We are complex, aren't we??? Do you all go to an endocrinologist or just your family doc? I'm thinking I might want to see if they will refer me to an endocrinologist. I really don't want my metabolism to speed up so much that I start losing weight -- I'm at the bottom end of "healthy weight" as it is. Not that that means…

I'm so happy for you! Having a child with autism is difficult enough, without all the added expenses that can come along with it! You have amazing faith!

I've read that. I guess I'll have to wait until Monday to see what my "numbers" are. With iodine deficiency, the hormone levels are still within normal though, right? So, if they are saying my "thyroid is low," that's not an iodine deficiency. do I have that right??? It's on my huge list of questions.

Hits way too close to home! My little guy is only 6, but is also non verbal with autism and LOVES Toy Story!!! I've had to call 911 twice for different times he's run off and we couldn't find him. It's the worst nighmare ever!!!

Here's another question for all you pros out there! Sore throat... is it a sign/symptom too? I just put this together today, and will ask the doc on Monday, but see if this makes any sense (or if I'm being a hypochondriac now!!!) In about May, I got a really bad sore throat. It felt like I had huge sores in my throat. It…

I did the same thing with a brownie yesterday! :blushing: We are all human! We make mistakes! I felt so yucky after eating it -- that was a GOOD thing!

Thanks everyone! You have made me feel better! I don't plan/expect to lose a lot of weight -- in reality, I don't have a lot to lose! (But if it wanted to selectively leave my tummy and thighs, that would be fine! :laugh: ) Part of me knows it's no big deal. It's just unexpected. I guess I should be super happy that there…

I had my annual physical last week. They did a routine blood draw. My doc called to say I have "low thyroid function." I have to go in on Monday to get all the details and figure out where I'm going from here. I've been online all day reading, and on the phone talking to family. There is no hypothyroidism that we know of…

Yep! P90X isn't designed to be a weight loss program specifically, although you will lose body fat! It's more specifically designed to build muscle. I started it last fall, then had a bad round of sinus infections that knocked me down and out! I am starting again August 18!! I can't wait!
