You got me on that one. Sorry for going into all the basics then. Didn't mean to talk down to you - I just didn't understand what your issue was. Have you had a chance to ask your doctor that question?

Have you started taking any supplement or anything that might have caused these side effects? As you probably know, only the hair loss is typical for hypothyroid (that I know of anyway). How strange! Maybe when you know who gets back from daddy mode, he'll have some insights.

Wish I could help you more than that. Sometimes it's two steps forward and one step back I guess.
How frustrating for you though. Know that I'm thinking of you and hoping that you'll be feeling better soon.

I've been doing a bit better and I got a temporary (but full-time hours) job. The people seem very nice. There's the possibility of it becoming permanent though it probably still wouldn't be enough to live on. It's a an afternoon to evening job so I'll still have the mornings to interview for something better. So, all in all, a good first step.

Fortunately, this opportunity came after I'd already been feeling somewhat better so that i could do well on the interview. (Had it been a week earlier, I doubt I could have risen to the occasion.)

It's a long road sometimes I guess.

Please keep me posted on how you're doing.
