Do people recover from Hashi totally?

[Guest guest]

Hi all

I was dx with hypothyroid and had hashi antibodies, in 2007. settled on 50mcg

thyroxine to a mild hyperthyroid state tsh 0.1 (0.3-6.0) Drs were ok about but

I wasnt. One of them dropped me back to 25 but I but before I could be

retested I went into hospital in Feb with heart probs

Put on beta blockers - didn't suit so on calcium channel blocker instead.

Research led me to discover the heart issue could be the result of

overmedication, so I went back and Dr admitted overmedication can cause it, saw

where I was heading with this, and was going to stop my 25mcg on the spot

leaving me taking nothing. I said I would prefer to try 12.5mcg and see what

happened.

Retested after 6 weeks. A different Dr in the practice read the results and

declared they were " normal " . I asked the receptionist (Id phoned as couldn't get

there), for figures, and I had gone from 0.10 to 0.03 (doesn't that mean Im

MORE hyper?) My Ft4 is 12.7 (10-25)

Does anyone know whats happening? Ive currently dropped from the 87.5mcg

thyroxine a week to 75mcg a week, and being unsure, felt I needed to ask about

this. Yes, that IS weekly mcg not daily. Will dropping thyroxine dose be the

right way to get TSH from 0.03 up to normal range of 0.3-6.0 or should I have

raised it?

Do people recover from Hashi? I thought it was lifelong thyroxine, so am

confused. Any thoughts appreciated on what it means and what to do about it.

thanks
