Just want to say thank you for the links-I found an Australian site http://www.thyroid.org.au/ and am going to subscribe to it.

Just an update on my TSH level. If anyone out there reading this has Hashimoto's or any other thyroid condition take my advice-TAKE YOUR MEDICATION REGULARLY..not every other day or when you remember...

I saw my dr again today and the last blood test i did was so high it was off the scale. He told me he's never seen it before. I agreed that i'd make a 100%effort to take the meds every day and then asess. If the tsh level doesn't go back down to 7, it's off to a specialist...

I no longer have a functioning thyroid.

What was my error-not investigating further and finding out more on Hashimoto's and not really realizing how my thyroid affects my body. It's not that i didn't/don''t care but was not really informed(either by further investigation on my own or by the dr)on the side effects. I was just told to take my medication....

So my goal for the next 6 weeks...take my medication. I'd like to see if i can eventually stabilize my weight etc.


Thanks again ladies
