But like Betsy also describes in another post, it is like 'poor temperature regulation'. I know others who say they do not tolerant the summer heat at all....and I think I noticed that my last trip to Maui, the temp. was more uncomfortable for me. I do see a very good naturopath and I will ask her how she would check thyroid function and will report back to the list. Nancy C. ------------------------ Yahoo!
