Hey people! I have two questions for y'all out there. With all the PM's, who has a defibrillator and what are your parameters? Second - Heart disease a primary issue for most. Mine was a dilated cardiomyopathy and becoming more of an issue these days is hypothyroidism (and last week they gave it a name - Hashimoto's) Last year my TSH was 16.5 and seemed to come under control within 8 - 9 months. Not quite so the endocrinologist raised the medication dosage and with that the TSH went up; Then again and again and now it's up to 8.99. We'll check it again every six weeks as they can't raise it too quickly because it could adversely affect the cardiac condition. Meantime I get wildly tired, I mean really exhausted. Anybody out there gone through or going through or even know something about this side of the pill?
