Ed,

By down, I assume you mean the 1.9. It only happened once so I'm not certain I remember. I know at one point I was falling asleep at the wheel at 6:00 pm driving home, but I don't remember whether that was the 1.9 or the > 3.5, but I think it was the 1.9. If it is low, I lose weight. If it is high, I mean really high like 30 when I was first diagnosed, I eat eveything in sight but don't gain. If it is slightly high, I may gain a lb or two. There are about 30 different symptoms you can have when it is either up or down. I think Mark or someone posted them at one time. Some people have none, others 1 or 2, some many. There was a web site that gave you all sorts of info on the thyroid. I'll see if I can find it tonight. It is not a condition that one wants to ignore, because in rare severe cases, you can go into a coma and die.

Take care,
Eileen
