Mine.

Looking -- I've been using usenet for years.

>6. What was your biggest health concern when you first came here?

Exhaustion.

>7. (How) has your health changed as a result of what you read

My health hasn't changed so much as my approach to my own care --
being my own advocate -- has changed. I've learned a lot about my
rights and responsibilities.

>8. If you have hypothyroidism:
>a) At what level do you need your TSH to be for you to feel well?

We'll find out when we get there :)

>b) If you are on only T4 supplementation, is it enough to

Nope. Still sore.

>here?

We mostly seem to have a clue as far as accurate information goes.

>10. How much of what you've read here about thyroid conditions did
>you also learn from a doctor or another health professional?

About 75%.

>11. What is your level of education?

Many years of college, only a 2-year degree.

>health problems, what was your job/profession before you stopped

Teacher and editor/writer.
