I don't think one does "POP" over in Akutan in March?? SCARY! I'd be stuck for goodness knows how long...now I'd do that in July, take some hikes, play with dogs, check out the diner with April...not in fall, winter or spring!!<BR/><BR/>I did get the blood work done 2 months ago...I was on cusp of "within normal limits" but it's gotten worse and I need to press for more tests...or go to a specialist.Cookie Doughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16932693412521784418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4503200786618224208.post-56606556578949886322009-03-31T10:10:00.000-08:002009-03-31T10:10:00.000-08:00Gigi..I think Santa will be bringing a few more pa...Gigi..I think Santa will be bringing a few more pairs of snowshoes for Christmas next year! <BR/>Yeah, THAT sure is a fancy building and hmmmmm fun to run into those bosses.<BR/>PDX = Portland LOL I do that without thinking was a travel agent and a tkt agent for a long timeCookie Doughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16932693412521784418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4503200786618224208.post-68209583518087446652009-03-31T08:32:00.000-08:002009-03-31T08:32:00.000-08:00The snowshoeing looks wonderfully fun!

All your symptoms sound like a case of low thyroid but make sure by getting the blood work done, insisted to your doctor to run the blood work. Let me know what happens, I'll be keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.Margritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03089120244611885772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4503200786618224208.post-1387125947101975002009-03-30T22:42:00.000-08:002009-03-30T22:42:00.000-08:00Have to agree with Frieda.

If they wont hop over to Akutan and get Darryl to do it. As a low thyroid sufferer for about 20 years I would put my bet on you haveing a low acting thyroid and needing synthroid.

Sorry about your thyroid; I would definitely have it checked out elsewhere. <BR/><BR/>We turned around in APIA parking lot today and passed Dimitri leaving. :) Rich was shocked at how fancy even the outside of the building was and what he could see from the parking lot. Also ran into Michele at Michael's yesterday.Gigihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04743017995625896679noreply@blogger.com
