Re: Re: and more test results just like Terry's -

Thanks - It's really hard not to analyze every little symptom but

thanks for the reminder that these fluctuations can be normal while our

bodies are trying to stabilize - I keep forgetting that. I'll try not to

worry unless the labs say to. And that the hair thing is normal-ish. All I

can say is it's a good thing I had lots of hair to start with. And it does

seem to be getting a little less the past few days so maybe that is a good

trend too. I'm not sure I would have any hair left if this continued for 6-8

months though!

Two things I'm thinking of - one: I was feeling really kind of hypo and then

I thought, well, hey, there is almost no iodine in my diet, maybe I should

add some in - so I tried some turkey sandwich meat (which was bad for me

when I was hyper) and started adding a little more sea salt to my foods -

and that made me feel really hyper again for a couple of days, so maybe it

was just too much too soon. The other thing is that I worked my first

full-time week last week - I work at home - in addition to being a

stay-at-home mom to a busy 2 1/2 year old - and that was really too much -

and too much like my old work-a-holic habits too - perhaps this little hyper

phase was a sign to knock that off.

So yes, I need to find what works for me - work-wise and food-wise - and see

if that can keep my labs in normal range. And next time I get labs it will

be on a day that I'm feeling really good (I hope) and not two days after I

load up on iodine.

Thanks again
