Hi Laura,
I think I will see an Endocrinologist, I have not done that and I
keep hearing they really know there stuff. What is La six? Never
heard of it. My biggest heardel is just the lack of wanting to do
anything. Like depression in a way.
How do they diagnios Hashimotos?
Thanks for your encouragement and advice.
Teresa

thyroid was removed since I was told it was the only way they would
be able to regulate my counts and all went well for about 5yrs but I
found I was getting bloated irritable tired and oh the hot flashes,
come to find out my counts were off again so we are now battling to
get them regulated. I had tried the generic pill for syn-thyroid but
it did not work at all. I now take the real deal synthriod which
makes a big difference, yes it is more expensive but worth every

helps but you do need to talk to your doctor and see if it would be
appropriate for you. I also take la six to keep the bloating away..
be patient it takes time when things change or go wrong it takes time
for them to get back into normal.. Know that you are not alone with
this and there are more women out there who have
