My endo doesnt believe hairloss is directly correlated with thyroid levels unles they are WAY HIGH. I'm already on a good pill for hair and a testosterone blocker.

What are we rehearsing???? I've been out of the loop!!!!

I know for the set of blood work they did back in January they tested the other stuff too I believe. I do know that one of the numbers was a little low I think....I want to say the T3 and that was a couple of years ago. It was a different dr then and he ordered a thyroid scan which was normal...

ABout the calcium. Would that just be any supplemets? Or things like milk, cheese, etc? If so, what about b'fast? I'm never happy! :p Also, is it normal to have a reading of 4.2 but have no noticeable symptoms?

Not at all planning to go off the BCP since it's hair friendly and I DO NOT want kids. Going off would probably cause shedding for me. The same doctor (an endo) is prescribing all this so I'm sure he's aware of the dosing of the thyroid meds and the BCP. I just don't want anything to interact...

Hi all. I've been off the forum awhile due to work but have always felt this is a good place to come for info so here I am. I hope everyone is doing well. Several mos ago, I found out my thyroid was slowing down. My TSH was 2.2 which was creeping up for me as it had been below 2.0. I was...

I didn't get the PM. Just email me: [email protected]

Scanning as I type. Page 79 is just a picture....no info. PM me with your email and I"ll get these to you.

....Cathe doesn't just shut this forum down. I feel bad for her if she read this stuff because though I can't speak for her, I can only imagine how she feels watching something she cares deeply about and has created for US, being torn apart. I mean really people...WHY does there always have to...

I think it does have something to do with the duration. I really like the HIIT workouts because they are 30 min or less. The intensity doesn't bother me...not saying it isn't hard :p but I don't mind. I think it's more like "do I REALLY want to do this 55 min workout?" Like the other poster...

My workouts have been less than optimal lately. It's kind of hit and miss. I'll be starting the STS/ cardio 3 month rotation for the 3rd time next Monday. I'll get started and MIGHT make it through week 1 before something happens. I try to get up at 5am and work out but it's so easy to talk...

Nevermind....just read it can reduce the effectiveness of BCP. That counts me out! I have GOT to get a tubal!

I was reading up on this but wanted some actual experiences as well. I'm thinking of adding this to my supplement list because I'm currently taking 2 medications, one for hormones and one for insulin resistance and am afraid I may have to begin antibiotics again for Lyme. Anyway, That's A LOT...

Stupid ? but where can you find the Brazil nut. I looked at one grocery store and couldn't find them.

That's great...but I know I read somewhere that Selenium shouldn't be taken for long periods. Has you dr said anything about that?

Me too. I need one that wil be good to use with Cathe's med balls that can turn into kettlebells.

This is probably a stupid ? but.....everything I have read says to give up the obvious things (breads, cakes, cookies, pasta, etc.). But it also says you have to really read labels. I looked at a few things in the pantry I already have, such as chilli and soup, and nothing said the actual word...

I've wonderd about the gluten though I don't have bad symptoms. I am insulin resistent though. Only found that through blood work. I would have NO idea how to start trying to eat gluten free. I don't cook much, don't have the time, so I just don't know. I'd like to try though. I've had...

Thanks so much Denise. It sounds like you really have it down. Hopefully I'll be able to get to that point one day. I'm going to start with the basics and see what happens. I may be satisfied with those results, if any. That way, I won't have to worry about being so careful with labels, only...

I never would have thought that.......one bad decision in my life would have caused so much regret. I would never......hurt an animal. I always.....try to change my eating and be consistent but continue to fail. I hope to..... lose the extra weight I have and no longer be insulin...
