> The thing that has me confused is that my total T3 is high normal and my free T4 is normal. I don't understand this. I could understand the high TSH if the T3 and/or T4 were low. So I am wondering if something else, like pituitary, is involved.You got me on that one. Sorry for going into all the basics then. Didn't mean to talk down to you - I just didn't understand what your issue was. Have you had a chance to ask your doctor that question?

> The past two weeks I have been dizzy, anxious, very oily skin, hair loss, no weight gain/loss though...Have you started taking any supplement or anything that might have caused these side effects? As you probably know, only the hair loss is typical for hypothyroid (that I know of anyway). How strange! Maybe when you know who gets back from daddy mode, he'll have some insights.
Wish I could help you more than that. Sometimes it's two steps forward and one step back I guess.
How frustrating for you though. Know that I'm thinking of you and hoping that you'll be feeling better soon.> Thanks so much for your continued concern and support. I know you have enough to deal with in your own life. God bless you.

> SimusI've been doing a bit better and I got a temporary (but full-time hours) job. The people seem very nice. There's the possibility of it becoming permanent though it probably still wouldn't be enough to live on. It's a an afternoon to evening job so I'll still have the mornings to interview for something better. So, all in all, a good first step.
Fortunately, this opportunity came after I'd already been feeling somewhat better so that i could do well on the interview. (Had it been a week earlier, I doubt I could have risen to the occasion.)
It's a long road sometimes I guess.
Please keep me posted on how you're doing.-K
