      Glad you found Speedy the hamster safe and sound. When my kids were younger we had hamsters also. One day one of them got out of the cage and although we searched the whole house we could not find him. Two days later when I went down the basement to do the laundry there was our Hammy in the laundry basket. He somehow had gotten into the closet and must have slipped down the laundry shute and landed in the basket of towels in the basement. No harm done to the hamster but all of my towel had holes chewed in them.

      Glad your doctors finally listened to you in regards to your symptoms vs. the blood work.My doctor flatly refuses to do that stating the blood work says I am “euthyroid”, with a TSH of 4.3l. Doesn’t seem to matter that I now again, have the palpitations, hands shaking, can’t sit still, losing weight, running to bathroom 4-5 times a day and CANNOT stand the hot weather at all. She says it can’t be the thyroid so it must be something else. I wanted my dosage lowered but she said the dose I am on is the right one for me. So I stopped fighting it and decided to lower the dose myself for the next month. I felt really well on the original dose of .075 and crappy on the current one of .088. So I am cutting off part of the pill of .088 to get back to the dose of .075. I’ll see how I feel over this month and if my hyper symptoms get better then I’ll have something to show her next month.

      Regards,
