Guest guest Posted July 13, 2003 Report Share Posted July 13, 2003 Thanks, . I am starting to feel sluggish, and notice my weight creeping up. I wonder if the body feels the drop in FT4 and FT3 a little later? Maybe someone can let me know how this works (so new to this). I woke up today with yet another swollen gland, this time in the front of my neck, I'm guessing above the thyroid. It is a little tender. Are lumps in the neck associated with Graves'? Maybe I have something else going on. I'm going back to the GP Monday to see if the folliculitis is gone. I am not having much fun this summer :-( P.S. I found a new endo, but need to make the appointment. Hopefully he will know what he's doing with the ATD. Urgh.
