nice gingerbread house

I just watched the "Captain Jack Harness"episode of Torchwood.

Damn.

Good for you for being a witness, askye.

matt keeps looking at your picture - we both like it. i wish we had figured out where you were going ti be Sat. I think it might have been fun

Hee. Yes, and I will definitely post a picture or two once I get them--my outfit Saturday was much fun.

I had the second-to-last disc of Doctor Who Season 3 at home for a week. I must have watched it four times and I'm still ready to watch all three episodes again. That was some mighty fine craic.

I am eating eggnog icecream from this place [link]

I buy my milk from them. Its in glass bottles. God I'm a yuppie.

Ginger, you're probably right that calling 911 would've been better. I just honestly didn't think of it at the time.

Susan, that's a pretty common reaction. I've had it myself - when in fact my place had been broken into. The thieves were long gone, thank heavens. All I can say now, is how glad I am that you are safe now. Poor little Annabel, though. Hope she gets over her fever quickly.

But he also said my TSH level was outside the "normal" range but still below the standard for treatment, and I know several people who have TSH levels nowhere near what he said was the standard for treatment who were immediately given meds.

Hil, I am one of those whose TSH levels were inside but on the higher end of the acceptible range, and yet get the meds prescribed. I'd advise you to find a D.O., especially if you can find an older one, who has been in practice for a few decades. I've never seen a specialist, and always had my g.p. prescribe the synthroid. Osteopaths are more likely to see the big picture than M.D.s. It's been said that M.D.s are trained to treat diseases, and D.O.s are trained to treat patients. The thing is, once upon a time, underactive thyroid was diagnosed by a cluster of symptoms rather than blood tests. You want a doctor who learned the art of diagnosing thyroid issues when it involved looking at a patient and talking to the person, rather than looking at some numbers on a piece of paper and comparing them to other numbers.

Once you are on the meds, another doctor will be ok prescribing refills based on what you've been taking plus perhaps a recheck of the TSH levels to see that they are still within the normal range, and therefore that the dosage needs no adjustment.

~ma to you and your's Nora. Not much I can think to say.

Is there anybody this week does agree with???

So far it hasn't killed me.

Of course, now that I say that - I'm screwed.

I blame Lee.

My sister's TSH levels were just about the same as mine, and her doctor prescribed synthroid. And I am outside the normal range -- I'm at 5.7. This doctor says standard treatment starts at 10.

I blame Lee.

HEY!
