Tex is 12.5 years of age, and has spent most of his life vomiting. Now, at least the vomiting is under control, and I thank the medicine he is on for HT.
Whew! Thanks so much Johanna, this is exactly what I wanted to hear. And actually, I've known Peanut should be tested for the last couple of months, but have been putting it off due to my fears - bad meowmie! But she has thrown up the last two nights in a row, and that's highly unusual for her, so I thought I better make the appointment and start taking this seriously.

I think there is plain ol' sir jury where they might remove part of the thryoid and then there's that iodine thingy. I had remembered you had done research on it and opted against it, so I ruled that out right from the beginning. Peanut is also very easy to pill, so that's one thing I have going for me, and twice a year blood tests she will have to handle if that's what it takes. Some of the things I was reading said until they got the dosage right she might need blood tests, like, every other day or so - which is what got me worried.

Thanks so much for relating your experience and the boost of confidence.

Debbie - I know what you mean because I have hypo-thyroidism due to a lump on my thryoid and am taking thryoid medication too. But you're right though, I am going to worry because Peanut is such a sensitive little thing, but I'm just going to try not to worry too much.

Thanks guys. I feel so much better already.
