Guest guest Posted December 30, 2004 Report Share Posted December 30, 2004 Hi Mark, Oh my gawd I can't believe all the questions you asked and info you need! I am amazed! My doctor never explained my thyroid to me. She has my mother as a patient (whom has a thyroid problem as well) so when I went in a 1 1/2 yrs ago complaining of extreme fatigue the thyroid flag went off and she tested me for it. I have no idea if she checked any of the levels of any of the stuff you asked me. All I was told is yup it's low and you will need to take this med for the rest of your life and be tested every 6 months to see if the dose needs adjusting. Yes I experience dizziness a lot! I'm always tired as well but not nearly as tired as I was when I was first diagnosed. I do have 4 children I'm chasing all day so I always chuck it up to that. I know for sure I never had a saliva test done! As soon as my doctor is all moved into her new practice and seeing patients again (Jan 10) I'll be on the phone asking for all these tests and a copy of the results! Greatly thankful! Steph Hello Steph, Let me explain a little about the thryoid gland and why you need to get on top of your medication, and what I actually need before I would even attempt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
