High cholesterol is a symptom of hypothyroidism. Of course, the drug

companies keep that a big secret or they'd have no one to prescribe

statins to!

Looks like even your liver labs are improving, so all the milk thistle

and liver treatments are working too. You ARE improving, you just have

to realize this is a SLOOOOW process. (What I tell DH EVERY day).

Right but I didn't think that it would correct so quickly or

dramatically, especially while my T3 and T4 are still so low. I don't

know whether it's Armour, supplements, diet or combination but I'm not

complaining. I could almost hear my Dad's jaw hit the floor when I

told him.

Except that I haven't been using the liver support stuff b/c I was

feeling so bad and eliminated it along with lots of other stuff for a

while. I just bought plain milk thistle 350mg this weekend which I

will add in soon instead of the liver support formula that I was on

before.

It is definitely a long, slow process. I'm going to add that next

1/8, probably tonight, and stres-dose some tomorrow to help me through

it. I'm hoping for better sleep as your DH experienced when you added

the later 1/8 grain for him b/c I'm sleeping like crap. I've also been

very dizzy for the past three days despite good temps, BP and the rest.
