Re: the rest of my blood work numbers.

Mark,

The main symptom of low thyroid is fatigue. Also, you may gain weight. It

is not uncommon for diabetics to become hypothyroid. Also, thyroid is

thyroid and there is no defiance between thyroid in a man or a woman.

Subject: the rest of my blood work numbers.

mostly all good news but one thing. the A1C of course still 5.9. LDL they

said in March couldn't be measured and now it comes in at 135. the HDL was

31 and now it is 48. total cholesterol was 486 and now it is 236. my

tryglirides was 1400 and now 244. all the other stuff showed normal, but it

did say that my thyroid function levels are low. it said they will recheck

it in 90 days. now my wife takes thyroids meds and I think it is the lazy

kind. I actually know nothing about our thyroid except it is important for

life. so what does this news maybe mean? where exactly is our thyroid? plus

how does it make one feel if it isn't working as it should? I suppose I

could go look on the net and read all I would ever wish to know about the

thyroid, but I believe those most who have a problem with it and how it

makes them feel. the rest of my results pleased the saw bones. now I have to

maintain the lower readings and not allow them to get out of control again.

ok, so then can I take a over the counter type of medicine or will it be a

doctor kind of pill? read a lot yesterday on the net about it and I do seem to

have a lot of the things it causes and have had for maybe 3 months best I can

tell. probably actually much longer kind of like diabetes. they always told me

being way over weight as I was most of my life would cause all kinds of health

issues up the trail, so I ignored them and figured it only happens to the other

guy and not me. always thought I had time and would have a worning so then I

could get with the program and fly right. why can't we be so smart at a early

age? why do we got to be block headed when we are young and think bad things

can't touch us? Why does wisdom only come to us in our later years of life? I

must know the answers to these very important questions so I can maybe stop some

one I know from heading down the same path.

Thyroid meds are always prescribed.

If you don't get the correct amount, it could be very dangerous to your

health.
