[QUOTE="JoKalsbeek, post: 2280109, member: 401801"] Give a shout whenever you get around to it, I'll still be here. And yeah, it's Hashi's, has been for over 15 years now. And no, didn't get a complete blood panel. TSH 0.18, free T4 was 16,7. I'm on 100 micrograms of levothyroxine a day now, down from 125. (Used to be 175micrograms 4 years ago, so I guess this is progress?) Doc shot off a new form to me before I could ask for a complete work up though, but still. She promised when I'd get my next thyroid check (4 weeks, little less) she'll go over other things too. The new form includes liver function and iron, so we'll get that covered. And it seems to have sunk in that this isn't a vanity thing. She's willing enough to help, it seems, which is good. Nice not to be brushed off, like the endo would've. Just seems like there's a whole lot clashing with even more other stuff, from pre-existing conditions to triggers to foods and, and, and.... I have to figure it out by looking at the tip of my nose or something. I'm making things up as I go along, feels like. So every bit of info I can get is welcome. And no, nothing glib about it. I know you're sincere, and it helps to be heard. Thank you. Jo [/QUOTE]
