in June (22nd) on low dose and worked up to the 75. they say this is a low dose

to have such a high ft3. It has been almost 10 weeks since starting, so I am

hoping I will clear soon.

pain off and on here and there. I deal with daily head pain from a neck problem

and maybe from TMJ too.

me the test would not be accurate on this BP medication. So do I need to get off

the BP medication and test again. with increased BP I am a bit leary about going

on Florinef. I know I would need to increase my potassium first.
