Cheers guys, the fact that you flyers are out there, having experienced this 'peculiar' condition, gives me hope.
However, if the truth be known, I am feeling particularly miffed as, after 10 years in Big Airways, on the 747-400, my number has come up for an Airbus command, timed for early next year. My thyroid clearly does not fancy all those early starts! problem is, BA requires 6 months of un-interrupted flying prior to a command course.
B*llocks

All this could not have come at a worse time.
Cheers for now, nurj
..edited to add, off for the scans tomorrow, and x-rays. Am on 50mg of Atenolol to slow my heart rate - AWESOME. No longer do I shake over those 3footers on the greens.
..oh, and as for the weight loss, (stone and a half) my wife longs to be hyper!!
