Yeah, at my age that's probably good advice. I just don't have a lot to complain about when it comes to my health.

The thyroid thing isn't severe, but I've noticed feeling sluggish and cold and have a few other symptoms. Again, none of them are what I'd consider severe, and I because I don't carry any extra weight what food I eat makes a huge difference in how I feel. The biggest differences recently have been me being more active and I suspect a significant uptake in selenium.

I think those things are what wonked me out a bit. The thyroid needs selenium to process the iodides. Well, my poor old thyroid is used to not having much of either and since my shiitakes came in I all of sudden have selenium and my thyroid wants to use it, but it can't, cause there's still no iodine, and I kept pushing myself until I bump into a wall.

And hell, I'm getting older. No doctor is going to cure that.
