OK so i went to get blood drawn back in january and my blood work came out perfect except my thyroid hormone level was shot up the roof...the normal being .35-5.5 and mine was at 65. Being that high it was putting my other organs under stress and my hair was completely falling out and of course i thought it was because of surgery that my hair was falling out but anyways the DR. told me that it was leaning towards diabetes so guess were that sent me downhill my emotions were crazy and now i realize that back in december i was feeling really bad and unmotivated and now i know why because of my thyroid and by the way my weight had stalled alot too. So last week I went for blood work again and i went to my appointment last friday and GUESS WHAT I lost 16 pds in this past month since my last appt. in january and my thyroid level was very very good and it was all thanks to me for taking care of ME!! You know i was not taking my medication like i shoudl because i could not get it but going through that scare I realized that I need to take care of me and it paid off. SO now I am back at work after a week off and I weigh 218 and I started at 322 woo hoo yey for me.....sorry this is so long and with the whole run on's and all but i had to tell my friends from OH JUNE OF 2006... THanks for listening

That's great news Nancy. Probably a wow, no wonder moment too. I am glad it is working out so well for you. Does that mean that your risk of getting diabetes has lessened? Lori

As someone who has had thyroid issues since I was 17 (I'm 35 now) I can tell you having your levels off either way can MESS YOU UP! Glad to hear you're taking care of yourself. Keep it up! Carolyn

I should probably have my thyroid levels checked again as I've not had it done since way before surgery...glad to know you are getting it under control. Congrats on your weight loss. You are doing well...

Nancy- I am so glad to hear that just by taking care of you again, you were able to fend off any more thyroid problems. I need to get much better about my vitamins and this is a great reminder of what I could be doing to myself by not taking care of me. I am sorry that you had to go through that, but you have showed us that there really is a reason for doing what we are supposed to be doing. Take care girl!! Jeanna

It is scary to to see what can happen when we do not take care of ourselves. It really just proves that we MUST put our health first. I am really glad that you are taking care of yourself now. Good for you! Michelle
