good endo in seattle
I just wanted to share my Endo here in Seattle, the guy is so through and really listens to what I'm concerned about / what I want to do. He didn't hesitate to prescribe me armour when I asked, he asks about my symptoms before looking at labs, he always tests tsh/t3/t4, and recently, once we got my numbers to the normal…

changes when you broke a bone?
I may be the minority for this, but I broke my ankle over the weekend and am still trying to find out my right dose. I don't go in again for another month to check levels, but I'm curious if anyone noticed changes in themselves while their body was trying to repair such a major injury? I'm so doped up I don't know if I'm…

symptoms worse during PMS?
I've always had pretty regular periods, with pms varying from minor to severe. Since stopping birth control 4 months back it has been better, but I always gain weight, my skin flips out a bit, and I'm tired/mood swings. I've been on armour for 2.5 weeks, the first week I was starting to feel better, losing weight and less…

anyone else gain weight rapidly?
Hey all, I was just diagnosed Saturday with hypo after battling with a slew of issues and most notably pretty intense gain over a year and a half. I started seeing the weight pile on in early 08 but I wasn't being the best about my choices and assumed it was from that (I went from weighing 165 to 190) but with being tall I…

loose skin?
I have a decent amount of weight to lose (83lbs) and had a girlfriend last year that had lost less then that (65), and ended up having to get surgery to remove excess skin on her stomach. I have been terrified since that I will have a massive excess of skin after I'm done losing weight. The one thing helping, it seems, is…
