6. thank you, but apparently my thyroid bounced back up to normal in retests.

I think it is probably low now since I am sleeping most of the days and not setting up for Christmas or cleaning. Just like my blood pressure, my doctor hates it because I won't take the medicine he prescribe the way he prescribed it, but my blood pressure is up and down so I test it before taking the medication. When it was first prescribed I took it without testing and apparently during a low stress period, I should not have because I died and had to be resuscitated and it took 3 days to get the medication out of my blood stream. So with testing I could need it for 2 days then not need it for the next 3. And I seem to be doing well and have not had to be hospitalized again for ODing on medication. I don't know if there is an easy test for thyroid when it bounces up and down.
