Andrea, the testing does not always cover the full battery of tests required to get an accurate Dx of thyroid issues. I really suggest you look at Mary Shomon's book on the topic: CLICK HERE

Tghe other day I put up a thingie on the back door-- whenever I head out I am always loaded up with bags of stuff for trhe various stoops I will make. The doorknowbs were getting overloaded with "packed and ready" stuff and there was no handy horizontal storage, so I pout an old towle bar oin the inside of the back door. On it I spring-clip each bag as it is packed and ready. Then as I head out I just grab them all. THe spring clips are a hassle so I will get some s-hooks that I will close on the towel bar end and leave open ion the bag end.

We re-did the back of the boondocker ydy. The cot is now folded in half-- NOT in an upright, stored-rollaway-bed-type position-- sitting on the legs of the head end, with the foot end folded up and over that. So it is ready to do a quick unfold for use. We also flipped the mattress for the cleaner side of the flannel to lie upon. The space cleared now holds my scooter with a little room to spare...

Now, I can carry both with minimal setup time to get from travel to nighty-nights-- without having to leave my scooter at home. On top of the folded cot there is plenty of room for grocery stowage, and maybe the dog too, on a comfy dog bed.
