(found a small difference in symptoms).
I had dropped that Endo. Meanwhile I was off the meds. since they
had run out. I had been on a web site for RA for a while and one of
the Lads(he was over-weight) said he was jealous that I had had Hypo
and now didn't have it.(I had no symptoms of it at that time, so I figured
I was over it). I was tested a couple times since then and they said I
wasn't Hypo. (maybe I was in remission, which I never heard of
until I came upon a site saying Hypos go into remission, no one told
me that, if it's true). But about a yr. ago I was dxd. with it again so
there you go. I only gained about 10 lbs. and went back to normal
weight after being on the meds. My hands and feet are still cold in
our warm house, and I actually can't stand the cold even on the drugs. |
I have to add here that perhaps the drugs for Hypothyroid I am on
are working as they should, but I also have RA which also causes an
intolerance to cold, which RA drugs don't get rid of.
