Hi Sandy,

I'm so happy you're feeling better -- wonderful for you and it's

encouraging to hear good news!

But I'm very sorry to learn that your bird hasn't turned up yet -- I'd

been wondering. I know how sad it is to lose a beloved pet.

Anyway, hang in there! Good news/bad news seems like the norm

sometimes, eh?

Take care,

p.s. I think you may have tried to send me a message a few days ago,

but the post was empty.

> Since I've not really spoken to my Endo about the fact that if I

ever needed thyroid drugs instead of ATD's, what he'd suggest for me

to take. I told him it was the 100.00 question, and he said you could

have one of any thyroid drugs if you ever needed it. So I put him on

the spot and made him tell me what he'd prescribe. He told me he has

people who insist on Armour, and he gives it to them! I was

impressed! Told him he answered correctly! lol

> I've lost a little over 20 lbs, and his scales verified that today!

Yippie! I did tell him that I'd not been eating as much as I'd lost

my appetite over losing my bird, Gabby, and had been too busy combing

the neighborhood putting up flyers, and walking and whistling for her.

He said that this blood work would tell him what he needed to know,

and then he asked me: How would I feel about maybe stopping the ATD's,

and see how it went. I very quickly replied that If he'd test my TSI,

to see how the antibodies were doing, that I'd consider it. But, that

if the antibodies were still running amuck, nope, I'd just stick with

a 2.5 mg dosage and we'd see how well this goes.

> It's been August since I've had bloodwork done, but I do feel better

now than I have in a long long time. I'm almost feeling as if I'm

back to normal, but I'll still have to stay on Atenolol even if I can

stop the ATD's cuz of my blood pressure. But, we'll have to see how

the test results go.

> Well, I have to go pick up some dog food, and something to eat so I

have to get a move on. It's much later than I thought it would be!
