Lee - you measure thyroid function in two ways: the actual levels of thyroid hormone circulating in the blood (T4) and the level of messenger being sent from the brain to the thyroid gland (thyroid stimulating hormone - TSH). The TSH goes the opposite direction of the T4 - when thyroid levels drop, the brain sends more and more TSH to the thyroid, trying to tell it to crank up production. When thyroid levels rise, the brain backs off and sends lee TSH. TSH is actually a more sensitive measure of thyroid status. "normal" range for TSH is 0.5 - 4.0, but many studies have shown that for most people, the "optimum" range is a TSH between 1.0 and 2.0 . Women having trouble conceiving because of hypothyroidism, for instance, are much more likely to conceive with a TSH of 1.5 than one of 3.5 - even though both are in the "normal" range.
Just concentrate on making her feel loved for now.
Well everyone Tommorow is my 7th aniversary. I can't really believe it. I never thought that we would make it to this point.
My W is really excited about it went out and bought a whole bunch of stuff for for it and then showed me. WOW i am very excited about this also.
We are actually going out of town to stay at a little resort. It should be very fun.
Everyone I would like to say thank you for all that you have done for me. I don't think I would have made it if it wasn't for everyone giving me such good advice, and careing.
Hoorrraaaay! Lee, I am so happy for you and your W. Hope your anniversary was wonderful!

Well everything went pretty good. We had a nice eveing at dinner and soaking in the hot tub.
While we were at dinner I said " I was pretty worried that we would not have made it to the 7th aniversary(sp)" My W said "well it just took a while to realize what a good Husband I have" So that felt really good. .
The only thing is those DIGS came up again. I feel bad about this. I didn't voice any of them but they still came up.
Goal.
1. To remove the DIGS from my thinking. Every time a dig coms up I will put up the stop sigh. I will not say any of them. I will know this is working when W says something nice the digs won't come to my mind.
