She turned to the cowboy and asked, "Are you a real cowboy?" He replied, "Well, I've spent my whole life, breaking colts, working cows, going to rodeos, fixing fences, pulling calves, bail... 23 Jan 2008 12:53

more T3 and lower appetite? Since my T3 level was just about at the minimum side of the scale, I had dry skin (rock hard heels!), my temp was low regularly (about 97 - used to be the average 98.6) and I was tired often, the doctor put me on a timed-release (now) 37.5mcg of T3.
