Hypothyroidism
You know I did some research today on it and you can actually have hypothyroidism without having elevated TSH levels. TSH is produced by the pituitary gland. If it's not working properly and release low levels of TSH you could still have a thyroid issue. It's best to have your doctor do a thyroid hormone test to measure you T3/T4 and compare that to your TSH test.
I'm going to talk to my doctor about seeing an endocrinologist if my levels aren't corrected in 6 weeks or so. I'm also gonna have my doc do the hormone tests too.
My bariatric doc was planning to do some more extensive thyroid tests, and I quit going in cuz of the $$$. I am considering going back in March, so perhaps we will pursue that then. I've invested so much already, so i need to think about that.
It is weird how little food I need; it's not like I sit on ass day in and day out or hit fast food joints or dowload chip bags into my mouth. I have not been stoopid with food for MANY years and practially an exercise freakazoid.
I hope you get it all figgered out as well. Would help you, fer shur.
Hi-jack...Hey Neecee...I watched Dr.Christaine Northrup the other day on PBS, she was doing a menopause thingy. I didn't catch it or she didn't expound on it, butt she said the ammt. of calories we need post menopause is insanely low...
I don't know where you are hormone wise, but it may be something to look at
Maybe we HAVE to buy her DVD to get all the info? lol...

Hey, i will...yup, she is one of the first people who made me realize how few we do need. Depressing, but thank god I do love exercise, or omg, what may have happened to me. She has a book - wisdom of menopause, i think? as I sit here - not sleeping - typing and the coffee pot is due to go off in 4.25 hours......but I'm not hormonal......
