self diagnosed at age 28

closest guess is about 1

my own health concerns

Someone on a lowcarb list had recommended it.

overweight

My mental health has changed greatly by having others in similar situations
with whom to converse about this stuff.  My hormonal problems have been
rather complex and I'm just now starting to get major relief from them
through a program of mind/body therapy.  I think that my participation on
this newsgroup opened my mind up to alternative possibilities I would not
have considered before.

Very excellent, most of it!

> 10. How much of what you've read here about thyroid conditions did

Almost none.

> 11. What is your level of education?

Master's degree (in music performance)

Professional violinist, but changing soon to two new ones: teaching the Ron
Fletcher method of Pilates (which I believe has had some benefit for my
hormonal problems) and I'm just beginning to train so that I can lead others
through the mind/body therapy I've been doing for myself.
