I went to the doctor today to follow up on some things. Two things:

1. I'm potentially hyPERthyroid, not hyPO. Holy cow, I'm so glad that got cleared up! I was going to do all this stuff to help stimulate my thyroid and I would have made everything worse, probably! Geez Louise.

2. I'm an entire inch taller than I thought I was. It makes me feel like a different person, because I was right on the high end of petite and I really liked being certified "petite." Now I'm technically no longer petite. Did I grow?

Anyway, I'm going to do my breast pampering routine today. It's a good day for it, too, because it's hot out. So it'll be nice to be topless for a while.

Im going to look into getting my thyroid checked too.
So how do they treat HYPER? I was told a few years back i was symptonmatic of hyper too.

I've been doing research all afternoon. I'm not liking what I'm seeing! Radioactive iodine, removal of the thyroid... yikes!

Right now, only one of the two hormones they're concerned about is elevated. The other one has normal levels. So I'm okay for now, but they want me to get tested again in two weeks. If the levels of the one are still high, they want me to see a specialist.

Meanwhile, I found this: http://www.ithyroid.com/hypert_recovery_story.htm Fascinating! But reading this has also made me confused about whether my estrogen or progesterone is high. I thought it was my estrogen, but now I'm not sure... argh! Why does everything in the body have to be connected?

What the hell, ive just sent myself an email to remind me to have mine checked too as thryoid is highly implicated in SIBO too.

The ONLY approach to dealing with thryoid is going to be surgical or chemical.
We need to read more on beating it with diet.
Il take a lot at your link too
