This is my feeling also. I have been on .1mg of Levoxyl for about 5
weeks now and can see a difference. My energy is up, my appetite is
down and the weight seems to be stabilizing, maybe even in recession.
Sure scared my family though.
I am encouraging my children to be tested. My oldest daughter was
graying in her late teens and has been coloring her hair for over ten
years (she is 34). I am only slightly gray myself, it runs in the
family. My maternal grandmother died in her late seventies and she
still was not gray. My mother wasn't gray until her late sixties.
There is no history of early graying on Kristy's Dad's side either. So
you can see why I am concerned about Kristy's graying. She also has
neurofibromatosis.
I will be talking with my GP in a few weeks and I will request a chance
to at least see an endo to have as much testing done as I can.
Thanks for your words. This list has been very helpful.
