GMA! LOL Ummmm, yea. I am feeling much better and am taking my meds and the otc stuff that I decided to add to my usual vits, and not thinking about it apart from that. I can clear my ear now so I am hopeful about scuba in 36 days, even if I can't dive I don't think I will be needing a tube in my ear now. Did you see my post here about what I have added? What did you think? My supps now are:
kelp 1x, acidophilus 3x, multiv 1x, time control b+ 1x, primrose oil 3x, multimineral 1x, plus the t4. My nutrition atlas reads that the kelp and bcomplex may help the thyroidism and cholesterol, and the acidophilus may help with the cholesterol. I couldn't find the supp you mentioned to me, and I am not sure how many more pills I could swallow in a day anyhow. If my next blood tests aren't improved maybe I could buy it from you?

I am not being too strict with my diet right now, once I get the few issues stabilized, then we will be able to have some stuff to cut out. I plan on keeping cals between 1600 and 2000 (high pro)and continuing to time my eating every 3-4 hours.

I think your meals are better than you think they are...and Yes...I saw and like your supplementation.

As far as T3 versus T4 I told you that I'd update you soon.....both Mrs. Pain and I are less physically tired and more mentally alert (3 weeks for me, 2 for her)...it is however NOT helping with the mental/emotional fatique...although if you keep stupid people away from me...I'd say my moods have improved.

I have developed a little strange BO (I'm very sensitive to smell, and may be the only one who notices this)......but this usually happens to me when I tap fat stores.....I release stored toxins...someties even smell like coffee. So I know I'm burning fat now.

I have lost as of yesterday, 12 pounds since X-mas.....unfortunately the math says this is not all BF.....but the last 4.25 since T4 with a definate change/lowerig of VAT (visceral adipose tissue)....Mrs. P looks a little leaner in the torso also, but mainly just in the morning...

Keep it up Nat, it's all about attitude...and your a survivor/winner!

Does this mean that I can have some martinis this weekend?
I am trying to keep my meals somewhat clean but not going overboard simply because i will get less frustrated if I am not working my ass off for zero results.

Thanks for the update on you and the Misses. That is great news about the fat loss for you, and if she is looking slimmer in the torso, that's great for her too. How long are you planning on using the t3 for? Are you looking at this as a permenant medication or a temporary thing?

We both get retested at 4 weeks...and we are not sure yet......kelp and desicated thyroid only got us so far for a few years...and this "feels" much better......and may be psychologically addictive (Leaness is).....

Anyway.....you have to earn those Martinis, and you know it! (post and be good all week)

Okay- I didn't eat the fuscilli, and consider the detour bar swapped for an apple, tuna and mayo.
