      Thank you! Your a sweetie. I know what you mean when you say your oldest child has to help out a lot. I'm just glad I finally get in to see the endocrinologist. My doc said it would take 4 months because he was overbooked, but once he looked at my blood work he got me in right away. I just want to feel human again! So many thing I took for granted! I don't know how your doing it or how anyone does it without help. Thanks again and keep me posted on your progress! Jacqueline

      When they finally caught mine. I was gaining partly cause I would get so tired I would go to the store and eat a whole box of cookies to get the energy to get thru the rest of the day. Don't worry once they get your thyroid under control and you loose the baby weight you will find yourself again. Eat only healthy food from now on no tylenol or alcohol cause PTU messes with your liver. Just know your not alone we have all gone thru the rabbit hole and came out the other side. I've had GD for over 30yrs feel free to ask anything and welcome to a site of information and support and friends. Hugs Mary
