Actually. I’ve been playing indoor soccer since the fall and have been playing. tomorrow’s my last game… do you think I can still play? It makes so much sense now though, I’ve noticed a HUGE difference in my cardio.

I’m so upset because I’m about to start soccer. I’ve always played soccer and this might be the first summer that I can’t play. This makes me very sad.

Ski, you’ve been so helpful. Can you tell me, are my T3 and T4 numbers really bad? And does GD make my skin bad? Like I said, it’s been quite bad, dry, bumpy and blotchy.

Thank you soo much!!

The thing that’s really annoying with my endocrinologist is that her secretary isn’t very nice. So I have to get through her first. But I’m going to definitely call her again tomorrow about the exercise and weight gain. I don’t know why it’s such a big deal to me… but it just is. Silly, I know.

And Dave! I hope you get medicated soon too! How are you doing with your symptoms?

Thanks guys! Everyone is so amazing here. You wouldn’t believe how happy I was to get all of your advice.

My T3 is 48 and T4 is 58. I’m a 26, female. Will the Methimazole, from what I understand and my endocrinologist said… the drug itself will not make me gain weight, but the eating habits and exercise I do will determine my weight. Does this make sense?

My endocrinologist wasn’t in the office today – but I called and left a message about being referred to a dietician and a dermatologist. Did you find that your skin was dry, flaky and blotchy?
