My blood test as of 2/14/03 was T4 thyroxine is 8.0, T3 uptake is 33.5, and TSH serum is .63. I take 6 tablets of 100mg a week and 1 tablet of 88mg a week.n I am tired and listless and have been on the Jenny ?Craig diet for 5 weeks and have GA
: INED on the diet. I am back to a diet I tried years ago, the Metabolic Research diet - I walk 5.6 miles to 6.8 miles wa day and ride my bike at least for 1 hour a night. I ride my two wheel bike on Sundays for about 45 minutes. My stomach looks like I am 9 months pregnant - so I have been doing crunches etc. Has anyone successfully lost weight? HOW DID YOU DO IT? I would appreciate someone to talkn with concerning this problem. Next week I am going to start taking "Virgin coconut oil" which is supposed to assist hypothyroidism. Hope someone can tell me something. Thanks for listening.
