Of course, I'm not trying to say your diet caused it or anything. I know
enough about Atkins to know that any effect it may have on the thyroid is
more likely to be beneficial than harmful. My point is that you said you
were completely healthy, all the tests confirmed it. Then later you said
your thyroid was having problems. I was confused by that and wondered why
you would say you were completely healthy and then indicate that you have a
health problem that you have to take medication to control.
