Monday, the homeschool group, when to the Creation Museum in Petersburg, Ky. It is truly an awesome place to go to. Back in 1997 or 1998, I took my oldest dd to see Ken Ham speak about creation. At the time, he talked about building the museum and I knew then I wanted to go to see it when it was finished. I am so glad we did. It is worth the drive. Two of the show we saw were Men in White and The last Adam. If you go, do not pass those two up. It takes about all day to do everything and read everything. When I have the time, I will try and add some pics. of our trip.
After coming back from the museum and checking the caller Id. My doctors office phone number was on the id. Well that got me a little worried. I had an appt. last Thursday and she did blood work on me. Tuesday morning I called them back to see what was going on. The nurse told me that my labs were back. Ok, at this time I getting a little bit more worried. She said that the dr. wanted her to call me about my thyroid level. All my other labs came back normal. Blessing there! But my TSH level was a little high. 4.4 was the level. I am one who likes to check into things and find out what all that means. Because the nurse didn`t really go into it with me other than what pharmacy I wanted my meds called into. So I am looking all this stuff up on the web. and there are two different ranges they can go by. One of the ranges that most labs use( it is the old one) 0.5-5.0 and the new one(which they recommend) 0.3-3.0. I am not sure which one my dr when by. But anyway, looking it up did explain a lot of stuff to me. That is probably why I am sleepy all the time and just plain tired. I crave salty food. I crave just plain salt, vinegar and water. I mix it up drink it. Pickles and the juice. I would just eat that and nothing us. I have lost about 19 pounds. I am on a genric for synthroid. I started today. Hopefully it will help. I guess my thyroid is having to work harder to produce hormones my body needs. I guess the meds will help get it regulated so it doesn`t have to work so hard. I will know more when I go back to the dr. in 3 mos. I do have to go back in 3 weeks for more blood work to check the level. If it is not one thing, it is another. I am falling apart. lol
You are to funny ,you will be fine. I have hormone problems and they make me tired all the time as well. I also have Dysmenorrhea with is painfiul cycles ever month . And haven't been able to have more children and I have a large cycist on my right ovary . So to make a long story short I am having surgery this friday. So the doctor can try to see what is causing the pain and why I can't get pregant again . See you aren't falling apart .LOL God will take care of us and heal us and refresh our bodys and make us well again. He has a plan for us .We have to keep our faith and trust him . I am not going to hope you better, I am going to say that God takes care of his people ,and you are one of them. You will be add to my prayers .Have a blessed day, Shaune
I would say congrats on your weight loss because I need to lose weight, but not for the way your losing it. My husband is a naturopathic and he recommends the prescription for Armor instead of synthroid. It's gentler to your system. Once you start on synthroid you will never get off of it. Good luck!

thanks, I will check into. I really don`t want to take anything. It sure took me by surprise when they told me that. I had change the way I was eating. More healthier and staying away from fast food. My mom has thyroid trouble. She has hypothyroidism. The dr back in Dec. gave me an injection of medicine,not sure what it was, in my shoulder and I am wondering if that didn`t have something to do with my thyroid messing up.
