I can hardly believe this, and wonder if I will eventually get off meds altogether. That would truly be a miracle :-) I have no thyroid gland left since it attacked itself during a nasty bout of thyroiditis many years ago......

Curiouser and curiouser. > > and the K9's ================================= Positive vibes just seem to be emanating lately. Be blessed and give thanks. I want a dog like yours. :-D Always believe in miracles because they happen every second of every day all around you. Peace be with you and I am happy to hear about your thyroid. Now go into positive mode and utilize some creative visualization and regrow a healthy thyroid. -- Peace, love and light, Don Quai " Spirit sleeps in the mineral, breathes in the vegetable, dreams in the animal and wakes in man.

Guest guest Posted November 17, 2006 Report Share Posted November 17, 2006 April, We test Free T3, Free T4 and TSH with every blood draw. Many labs use the wrong reference ranges when reporting results. Here are the proper reference ranges: http://www.labcorp.com/pdf/Pediatric_Reference_Ranges_Endocrinology_09 81.pdf We have seen our constipation issues disappear with proper thyroid support (which also requires adrenal support). The group I have used is not really for kids, but there is some good information there.
