You got me thinking, Tex, so I took my BP/heart rate this morning in similar conditions to what I have done it before. MY BP average was 135/91, same as it was when I was taking atenolol, and my heart rate average was 60bpm. So there's been no change with the additional desiccated thyroid. The mid-70's range is later in the day, and my records show that is the same as what it was before I bumped the thyroid. I have lost a couple of pounds, which is very encouraging, as I have mentioned before that my weight did not budge so much as .2 lbs. no matter what I did. So as I lose weight, my BP will come down. Yay!

Thanks for reminding me of this--if I choose to bump my thyroid again in a couple of weeks, I will be sure to pay attention to my heart rate.

It sounds as though everything is going your way. That's a good situation to be in.

It is suspected that some of the hardest material known to science can be found in the skulls of GI specialists who insist that diet has nothing to do with the treatment of microscopic colitis.
