Re: Re: Keep Pulse dosing after 1 yr or ok to take Iodoral everyday?

February 6, 2012

As we say frequently, TSH is not the best indicator of thyroid health. I don't

know what to tell

you about a doc who wants you to stop your thyroid hormones for 4 weeks. I

personally

wouldn't do that, but since you've been pressuring her to reduce your thyroid

dose, maybe

you want to find out?

Most people don't pulse dose, most take it every day. Try taking it every day

and see how

you feel. It's really up to you.
