    i'll call the dr's office tomorrow. been taking readings twice a day since i started 10 days ago and am now seeing readings much, much lower. 107/61 this morning compared to 164/88 the first day. that's with a 2.5mg pill once a day. i think my thyroid meds are doing their part ;)
    Lucky girl! :thumbs:
    I take 60 MG a day plus a supplement and it’s still not normal.

    Heater core went out in the jeep (I think, pretty sure). Sucks.

    Could be as low as 80 bucks in parts (core and evaporator), but you have to take the damn dash apart/off to replace it. Shops want over a grand to do all that.

    Good thing it is summer. I have options...and time...

    I feel terrible. How did I miss all of this? What is your tsh? and what's 53 up from 2.5? I get the bp stuff.

    p.s. I knew I felt a disturbance in the force... and it was you.:D

    you mean to say you no longer practice your google-fu? :?:
    ''TSH stands for thyroid stimulating hormone. normal values are 0.5 to 5.0 mIU/L''

    I don't know if I want anything stimulating my thyroid hormone.:lol:

    p.s. sorry for not paying more attention to your thyroid issue. I hope everything is going well.:) keep me up to date.

    53???????? Holy High, Batman......no wonder you feel so lousy.....did you get a thyroid antibody test? That's next on my list of things to get done. My T4 is just a bit low, but has been for years and been ignored by my PCP, but now, all of a sudden, he wants to know if I am tired. NO, Doctor, only been telling you that for YEARS! Time for a specialist, I think. Hope yours drops VERY soon...
