Re: questions about hypo t treatment

[Guest guest]

Nil,

It is my understanding that the thyroid doesn't heal itself. Have you had

thyroid labs taken? You really need those in order to know where you are and

what you need to do. Otherwise, it's like shooting blind. You might end up

donig more harm than good. The temps are a guideline to let you knwo when

you are on enough HC so your body will tolerate thyroid if it needs it.

Rie

A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy

enough people to make it worth the effort. Herm Albright

Thanks . Hope things get better for you soon! I start talking T3, T4,

reverse T3, etc.,

etc. and my husband's face just glazes over with confusion. I was taking my

temp one day

and I just looked at him and said " don't even ask " . And so it goes...he loves

me and

supports me, but just doesn't understand. =:-)
