Default That thyroid stuff does get scary, doesn't it?

Especially since tests are so easy to do, yet...not immediately thought of.
Do keep in mind tho? That neuro diagnostics are very complicated?
THIS is a web site that explains the basics of neuro exams and then some.. It's good to know what these folks are going to 'DO' to you before they do it, ya know? http://www.neuroexam.com/content.php?p=2
Read the intro and work your way thru....
In my case, I'd long standing 'hypo-thyroid' which changed a few years ago to Hashimoto's [essentially a dead] thyroid. It could have been due to current or past 'other' immune issues. I'll Never know, nor do I care, really. I only care that it's all being properly treated! Be SURE to get copies of your blood tests! They can tell you a lot when you really look at them-and in my own case? Looking at them myself avoided lots of prospective problems with aspects with 'metabolic' that I could do myself. There are nutrition and supplement forums here that can be of immense help? But, I warn you they are chock full of LOTS of info! Too much to take in all in one sitting-I assure you. But, truly good stuffs.
Hang in there and get your #'s up to a happy level. It DOES make a difference! 's - j
