Guest guest Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 concerning all of this talk about weight: I am 6'3 " and for the last 3-4 years have been going from 235lbs to 255lbs within a month to a month and a half, then back to 235lbs within the same amount of time. I walk all day and push a 350 lbs cart full of tools around with me... heck of a exercise program. and yes I eat like a horse but I have cut out a lot of the total crap I used to eat, like a whole box of zingers and a big ole pop for a " snack " . but if I stop all this exercise I know I would probably gain weight. Last night I found a blood chemistry paper from Oct 2006 taken before a surgery and it shows: mg/dl glucose 123 H mg/dl cholesterol 266 H H = high F = footnote ratio chol/hdl ratio 5.91 H F mg/dl ldl cholesterol 182 H mg/dl triglyceride 196 H uIU/ML TSH 3.942 everything else is within range, my cholesterol has come down a lot since then but is the chol/hdl ratio being at 5.91 mean I was already starting to go hypo or is the uIU/ML TSH of 3.942 the only thing concering this ? it was a lower number then. thanks, Mike.

Guest guest Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 you need to get recent labs, labs from 2006 are not going to tell you how your body is doing in the present. can you get new labs? nancie From: micthenel Sent: Tuesday, April 22, 2008 5:57 PM hypothyroidism Subject: weight: concerning all of this talk about weight: I am 6'3 " and for the last 3-4 years have been going from 235lbs to 255lbs within a month to a month and a half, then back to 235lbs within the same amount of time.

Guest guest Posted April 24, 2008 Report Share Posted April 24, 2008 Your chol/hdl ratio of 5.91 is not all that high; and IMHO may have a lot of explanations other than hypothyroidism. > > weight: > <hypothyroidism/message/37819;_ylc=X3oDMTJxanZ1Ymp\ nBF9TAzk3MzU5NzE1BGdycElkAzE0NTY2NARncnBzcElkAzE3MDkyNTEwODIEbXNnSWQDMzc4MTkEc2V\ jA2Rtc2cEc2xrA3Ztc2cEc3RpbWUDMTIwODkzNjU3OQ--> > > > > Posted by: " micthenel " micthenel@... > <mailto:micthenel@...?Subject=%20Re%3Aweight%3A> > micthenel <micthenel> > > > Tue Apr 22, 2008 5:57 pm (PDT) > > concerning all of this talk about weight: > I am 6'3 " and for the last 3-4 years have been going from 235lbs to > 255lbs within a month to a month and a half, then back to 235lbs > within the same amount of time.

Guest guest Posted April 24, 2008 Report Share Posted April 24, 2008 I just had new labs last month and they stuck me on synthroid 50mcg 1X day, but I was still feeling horible so I asked for a larger dose so now I am on 75 mcg 1x a day and go back for labs next month. thanks. > > you need to get recent labs, labs from 2006 are not going to tell you how your body is doing in the present. can you get new labs? > nancie > > > From: micthenel > Sent: Tuesday, April 22, 2008 5:57 PM > hypothyroidism > Subject: weight: > > > concerning all of this talk about weight: > I am 6'3 " and for the last 3-4 years have been going from 235lbs to > 255lbs within a month to a month and a half, then back to 235lbs > within the same amount of time.

Guest guest Posted April 24, 2008 Report Share Posted April 24, 2008 almost everyone on my grandmothers side of the family dies from heart problems or diabetes, so I'm up a creek with a hershey bar paddle as far as my long term health is concerned anyway. that test was from Oct of 2006, it was a lot higher on the test last month, I went in for a rock hard growth in my left armpit the size of a large plastic Easter egg, they said it was an infection and they put me on 3000 mg a day of 1 antibiotic and about another 1500 or so of another and 2 other pills, then did blood work and thats when they found I was hypo, and put me on synthroid the day the blood results came back, they made me take the antibiotics for a month which made me sick as hell. they were going to cut it all out and biopsi it until they found I was hypo, they said the lump would just eventually go away. and it has but it still hurts inside my armpit. anyway thanks for your input . > > Your chol/hdl ratio of 5.91 is not all that high; and IMHO may have a > lot of explanations other than hypothyroidism. > > > > > > > weight: > > <hypothyroidism/message/37819;_ylc=X3oDM TJxanZ1YmpnBF9TAzk3MzU5NzE1BGdycElkAzE0NTY2NARncnBzcElkAzE3MDkyNTEwODI EbXNnSWQDMzc4MTkEc2VjA2Rtc2cEc2xrA3Ztc2cEc3RpbWUDMTIwODkzNjU3OQ--> > > > > > > > > Posted by: " micthenel " micthenel@... > > <mailto:micthenel@...?Subject=%20Re%3Aweight%3A> > > micthenel <micthenel> > > > > > > Tue Apr 22, 2008 5:57 pm (PDT) > > > > concerning all of this talk about weight: > > I am 6'3 " and for the last 3-4 years have been going from 235lbs to > > 255lbs within a month to a month and a half, then back to 235lbs > > within the same amount of time.
