Ya think it would do something for a totally failed thyroid? You do know that the docs want to go by blood tests these days, and as long as they can get your levels into whatever their "book" says is "normal", they do not give a flying rip about how you feel, or your weight.
This is even if your weight was "normal" for almost half your life! And if you still feel crummy, even though your TSH test is "within normal range", well then, who gives a flying rip. for they have covered their bums, according to "modern medicine:.
Sorry to be so cynical. Family problems have got me down. T'is the season for those, you know?
I am walking in your boots, no thyroid.
I know what your body/mind is torturing you with.
Every year the "fake" synthroid gets upped in dose as some of us just soak it up.
Not to mention having to hear the radiologists whine every year for the mammo due to the thick spots the meds cause in your breasts.
People can be unkind and when my hormone/thyroid levels are off leaving me feel to high or low I stay away the heck from all the outside agitators.
Funny before I lost my thyroid I wore a size 3. SO if they are going to put a warning for large sizes suppose the should put one on the anorexic sizes.
JMO No warning at all should be on clothing except that it is cheap and won't last through one wash. : P
Merry Christimas.....your not alone.
