- I am so disappointed right now! I had labs drawn 2 weeks ago, and was praying that they would come back showing that I could atleast decrease my MMI dose. I called to get results and just spoke with the nurse because my Dr. is out of town. All I...
- Hi there, this is sort of a continuation of the same problem I mentioned previously,only now I have new labs which have left me even more confused. I started loosing hair like crazy back in January or Febuary, shortly after my Dr. called to tell me...
- Hi all, Labs I had drawn on the 12th came back normal. I don't have results yet, but have requested a copy, before this last set came back normal I was hypo. I've been having bad hair loss since January, my question is why am I still experiencing...
- I know this has been somewhat of a hot topic in the past, but I would like to try dose splitting three times a day. I'm currently on 5mg of MMI and split the dose 2.5mg am and pm. Now I would like to try splitting it three times a day. Based on...
- well here I am finally posting labs, as I get them drawn, they take about a week for the endo to call and change my meds, then about 14 days for me to get the results, so here are my latest labs, and I'm loosing tons of hair. My labs seem...
- I got to thinking last night, or worried rather. If the time comes and I have to opt for Thyroidectomy over staying on ATD's, does the fact that my thyroid is pretty enlarged i.e. I have a goiter, rule out the possibility of having surgery? Will...
- I should have asked this a long time ago, but I got to thinking. I'm going to see my endo in about an hour, and I know he's going to want to set me up with an Iodine uptake scan. Are there any reasons not to do it? Like does it raise anti-bodies...
- So I wake up every mourning now with puffy bags under my eyes. Is it TED, Hypo, or just to be expected? They do seem to resolve once I'm up for awhile. Also, I think I've asked this before, but I forgot. How often should they be checking my labs?
- Has anyone tried Accupuncture for Graves? I thought I should ask before I just go off willy nilly and try it. If you have, did it help? Or darn near kill ya. Would you recommend it, or should I save my money for Christmas?
- Since the Office called and said my labs are "almost normal." at what point can I start taking Selenium with the T3's and all, and how much should I take? Also, since I'm worried I may be getting over medicated how will I know if I start to go...
- So got "test results." sort of. Getting actual lab values out of these people is like pulling teeth from an alagator! They seem like they mean well though. As many of you know, I often post labs here without a reference range. It's not from...
- Has anyone heard of Olive Leaf Extract? I sort of read a flyer on it, and started taking it yesterday. Supposedly it is a powerfull antioxidant. Then I started wondering, should I be taking antioxidants since this is auto-immune? Or do I not...
- So, it's weird. I've never really had a sweet-tooth, and ever since I developed Hyper symptoms I constantly crave sugar, cookies, oreos (I love Oreos) candy, especially Reeces, and chocolate. I don't know why, except that I've lost so much weight,...
- the nurse just called and said they want to up my MMI to 20mg. She said I can take it twice a day. She said my free T3's were 8.7. and this is high. I've only been on MMI for two weeks, how would you guys divide up the 20mg dose? Would you do 2...
- Are turtlenecks as out of vogue as the fanny pack? I hope not. Especially since it's winter. Everytime I see someone wearing a fanny pack it's a dead giveway to me that they are hiding a weapon. Usually thinking their doing a great job of...
