> Somebody out there who can tell me what these reports mean? I tried to read 'em, but fell down mentally. I have thyroid nodules, was briefly treated with a synthetic thyroid hormone (to try to shrink the nodules), but had to stop because it pushed me into a hyperthyroid state and with my months-long battle with insomnia, anxiety, and depression, I just could tolerate increasing those symptoms. I don't have fibrolyalgia, but the rheumatologist said I have enough symptoms of that to warrant taking a small dose of a TCA at night to see if it helps me sleep (and thereby improves my mood). I just keep feeling like there's a hormonal or inflammatory or some kind of systemic answer like that to the puzzle, though tests have turned up nothing yet.
>I didn't even try to read them. I just forwarded them to Scott because I thought they were about something he had been looking into. Sorry.
