Hi Mike
Was wondering how you were doing? Glad to hear you are starting on thyroid meds--should really help relieve some of the fatigue. Those meds do take some time to kick in--about 4-6 weeks.

Novemeber will be here before you know it--and then what a great Christmas!!

I am ready to get out in my garden too!!

Hi Guys,  

I just started taking levothyroxin; my thyroid hormone levels are low.  One of the side affects is fatigue and hair loss.  I need a little more fatigue like a need a whole in the head but if that's what I have to do, so be it.  I bordering on depression so I'm  going to try to do some gardening; if I'm tired after that and that will be the case seeing as I'm tired before I start I'll at least feel that I accomplished something today.  That always makes me feel better.

I'm und. and I'm grateful but I have to do the 48 wks. I'll be off the victrellis Aug. 10 and my last shot will be oon Nov. 2nd.  What a celebration that will be.

Thanks for listening,

Mike
