Hi:
I went to my fertility appointment and the endo said that my thyroid antibodies are 749. She said that's really high. I asked if that meant I have Hashimoto's, and she said "it can turn into that." She also said it might explain the hyper symptoms I've had off and on. I have an appointment tomorrow with the other endo, and she said he'll be running other tests and can explain what happens from here. What might be different about my treatment? Higher dose? Different meds? I guess I'm confused again.

I'll ask about the spasms tomorrow and let you know what he says.
Thanks again for being here,

Oh wow....hope you get some better clarification/answers on things. It's so strange how such a small thing, they thyroid, causes so many things to go astray.
I so appreciate your support.
I only get hyper symptoms occasionally, and then lapse back into full-time hypo. I don't know which antibodies she tested! Rats. I'll find out today at the endo and let you know. Yesterdays endo said to me, about today's endo, "don't let him hurt your feelings, he's a good doctor, but he sometimes hurts peoples feelings." Aaaagh! So, my husband is coming to my appt. with me today.
One other thing she said is that the antibodies will eventually start attacking my ovaries; so she's testing my ovarian function. Have you ever heard of that?
Well,
More later,
Dee.
Please let me know what she says about ovarian function. I am REALLY curious about what she says!
Thanks!

Especially because I have been having this pain in my side for about 2 days.
Tuesday night when I first noticed it, I figured it was my ovary because that
would make sense...the right timing and all. But yesterday and today its not
much better. It pretty much hurts all the time, but its an annoying pain, nothing
I can't live with.
I just had bllod work done on Friday to have my thyroid anti-bodies tested (along
with other things) but I haven't got the results back yet.
Anyway, keep us posted...

We shall see, I hope it clears up. I've been getting pimples like crazy and I always had really clear skin! :-(
oh well...do you guys ever feel like a hypochondriac?
that's its all in my head.
So, I can definitely relate to the hypochondriac thing!
Seriously though, I've pretty much stopped talking about
the way I feel, just because its seems like there is always
something wrong!

hyper-chondriac would work, too. LOL! I was thinking of "Hypo-Maniac" the other day, too. Yes, you get the feeling it's all in your head and you must be nuts! You start to think that you've really lost it and that everyone is normal but you. You think that it can't be possible to have ALL the physical issues you have .. but it's true!! It's all true! It's a bit like a nightmare. LOL! I can laugh now but still ... it's not fun. Cathy :)
