Guest guest Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 When you mention having your thyroid checked...I do hope it was an endocrinologist who checked it and did the T3 T4 T7 tests. They are super important. I say this because a " quack " doctor misread mine a long time ago and treated me the wrong way ... and I almost died. Had to have my thyroid gland killed with radio=active iodine. I was probably one of the first to have it done. It didn't take well enough the first time and so had to have it done again. It was so new that they didn't have enough data to lower its rate, or kill it, so they killed it the next time. I just have to take Thyroid for the rest of my life.

Guest guest Posted January 11, 2007 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 Luanna , they just took blood to test my thyroid. The problem is my doctor wont do as he says " frivolous " testing to see what is going on besides low iron. I have tried so many times to donate blood at the Red Cross with my husband but my iron is low even the doctor there said I might have an absorption problem. I have been looking into another doctor. Thanks for sharing with me, education is the key. Steph Access over 1 million songs - Music Unlimited. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
