I put your name on the above post also and it didnt show.
Sorry, I didnt get a chance to let you know I had a business trip this past week, but I am back now. I missed all of you and your sound advice. I had a rough few days with the illness, I am sure some of it was stress of being away from home. Glad to be home and back with you all. Quick question. I am on 88 mg of Levothroid and was increased to this about 5 weeks ago from 62.5 mg. my hair is falling in gobs. This was not happening on the lower dose. Also, I am having a pulsating in the right side of the neck. Any advice?
Christine, I hope you are getting these messages and I hope I'm not out of line to add this to the above posts, but I really do hope you are okay and I also hope nothing happened on this forum to offend you in any way. My wife made a statement back when a few strange things came across this forum, she said: "opposition usually happens when you're doing something right." (I know a famous book that says this too)
I know I won't be posting on here forever but right now, I see real value to this forum. It is hard for me to resist replying to pleas for info. and it feels good to help. I have also recieved A LOT OF HELP myself, you are one of the people that most encouraged me.
Hi there, I was happy to see that Jimlow posted a concern for you, because I too, had noticed that you have not been on here, and was hopeing you are doing ok. Take Care Shannon
