[QUOTE="NAdmi, post: 107652, member: 18390"] I was diagnosed HYPER 9 years ago. I weighed 108 LBS and the treatment was oral medication. I do not remember which one. After treatment i gained weight and started feeling much better. did a full 180. I have not been on the treatment for YEARS because my levels have remained normal. However I haven't had the thyroid checked in maybe more than 2 years. Here is the email body from the doc: [FONT=arial]Your lab results came in sooner than expected and [/FONT][COLOR=#000000][FONT=arial]shows normal Total Testosterone (TT) and Calculated Free Testosterone (cFT) measurements.
