lily, that's fine. I just was concerned about using this BB for other than DB'ing. I was just curious about some suff having to do with HT. My H was diagnosed with it last April after a blood test when he went to Dr. for a cold/crud that seemed to just not go away. Since then, we have found out that the cause of that crud stuff was a mold growing in the walls of the classroom he was taking his EMT class in. If he hadn't gotten that crud, he wouldn't have been to the Dr. I guess blessing in disguise. He dropped his bomb on me on Feb 21st. as soon as he did that he seemed to go into a depression and MLC. Before that he was fine. weird. He seems to act as if this HT is nothing,because he says he feels just fine and refuses to be sick. (sounds like a man, huh??!!) He is taking the Levoxyl, however. He had another blood test in July and the Dr found that his thyroid hormone was still off and increased the med. He lost weight over the course of that EMT class which went from 9/01-2/02. He was not eating dinner 3 nights a week on purpose. he wanted to lose weight and lost 40#. Then when he was diagnosed with HT, it didn't make sense because usually from what I've heard, people gain weight with that. He is WAY better mentally/emotionally than he was back between 2/21-April. He was a real mess during that time, right after bomb. I know that HT causes depression too, so I didn't know if the HT was causing these MLC symptoms or if it was really MLC or both. How horrible for him. I will be getting him some selenium that you suggested. Is there anything else to look for as far as the progression of this HT or what we have to look forward to? Anymore insight? Thanks, Lisa
