[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 620264, member: 1550"] Thanks to all for the advice. We are in the process of finding out if I have Hashimotos, but have to wait until March 5 to see an Endocrinologist who will do all the fun testing :) Actually, Lucy, I eat VERY healthy. I'm close to a vegan, but get plenty of protein with fat free milk products, especially Greek yogurt...yummy!!! I have a lot of beans and green beans too. I don't eat hardly any junk food at all and have small meals. I work out at least five days a week. Maybe this is why I have a low thyroid without many symptoms. It is not that bad yet. My TSH level was 10.5. I did not think I could possibly have this after I lost so much on Weight Watchers, but I guess I do. I can relate to the sensitivity to hot and cold temps, which is NOT FUN here in the US, Wisconsin where it has been below 0 almost every day this winter. At least it feels like it has. I do not have a particular problem with fatigue and have had anxiety and depression all of my life and it is not worse now than it has been, which means it has been controllable on my medication. I take generic Synthroid and have been told that the name brand is better. When I see the Endo. doctor I am going to ask if he will write a script for Synthroid and add "name brand only for medical purposes." In the past, when doctors have done that, it has forced insurance companies to pay for the name brand medication. Otherwise it will be hard for us to pay the name brand out of pocket...but maybe...we'll see. I am not one to shun medicine for just natural cures. I want to see my thyroid go to normal. Since I have been eating tons and tons of super foods and exercising my rear end off (literally...lol) my lifestyle could not be more healthy, yet my thyroid is low and my cholestral is a bit high (they say it will go down when my thyroid is under control). And I am one who WILL shun any saturated fat. Oh, well. [/QUOTE]
