> Makes me wonder!! When I was in hospital last year and moaning about my weight, my pdoc did another thyroid test and 'disovered' that my T3 and T4 were indeed low (whatever that means) I began prescribed medication but had to stop it after a few weeks due to medical insurance issues.
Medical insurance doesn't cover thyroid hormone treatment? I'm aghast.
> A year later, despite cardio and weight-type exercise 5 times a week, despite healthy (give or take) eating (Oh, and no other meds) - I remain tired, I remain sleepy, I remainc cotton-wool brained and exhausted. Most of all, I remain stubbornly overweight. My body is taking shape but the weight will not budge.
