Hi Dawnrose, I have been away for 10 weeks in Europe, came back in November..
I will be checking in more often now.. Is MB here with us??
I was on another DS site that has now folded up since the new take over..why to change it when it was working fine, is still a mystery to me?? Anyway, I am still here..good to hear from you..
I have Hashi's, antibodies in the 1000's, I decided to start cutting down my dose of Armour by myself. I have an accelerated heartbeat, hair loss etc. At my last blood test my TSH from (0.00 something) to 3.8. I feel better..my hair was so thin, now thicker..I certainly don't speak for everyone..but I personally feel better on less meds.. We are all different..
Stay well..

Hi Sograteful,
I'm glad to see that you're still here. I'm so mad that they changed the website. I'm really grateful to have gotten help here from everyone before people stopped posting. Really sad. I wish I could help more people. I can only give advice based on my experience. Thanks for still being here!!

Hi have not been here for awhile. Still dealing with a hypothyroid 24 year old that will not order her own medicine after going to 4 their shippers. She looks bad.You can lead a horse to water but you can't make them drink it.

Hi bm63!

Good to hear from you! I hope your daughter will start to take her medication. She will feel so much better!! All you can do is keep encouraging her.

Hi...I'm here..too..My doctor increased my synthroid in October from 125 mcg to 137 mcg..It isn't covered by our Government senior citizen plan so I have to pay for the entire 90 pills. It was $26. Not bad..Glad I live in Canada

Hey Katie54!!

Nice to *see* you!! How do you feel with your increase?

I think I am slowly improving. I dont care for this new forum. I am roaming around in the dark here and come across people by accident..It just isn't working well for me..I am looking for Mbutterfly but I can't find her..do you know if she is still on the hypothyroidism group?

dawnrose0004 12/10/2016

No one likes this new forum. I think MB is still around. But maybe this forum is keeping her and others away? I guess we should start looking for a new website for support? I don't know. The people on the website helped me so much and it's a shame there isn't a lot of activity.

Hi Everyone. The old format is less fanciful but much more communal. All the best.
