dear nawchem,

THANKS for this super helpful info!

i had forgotten about thyroid issues ...in the past i had thought to order lab tests by mail, but in my state it is not allowed

...i will definitely look into this, and possibly see a doctor -

i especially want to say thank you for the ...solidarity, because, with the thyroid thing - AND working out,

i worked out LIKE A FIEND, in addition to the most disciplined dieting, and...

people would think i was exaggerating about how hard i was working out, how watchfully i was eating, etc -

sometimes a person really IS being as watchful and working as hard as they can......

i will update IF i find anything about my thyroid..........
