online graph for dose changes - where did it go?

[Guest guest]

Hello everyone

today I went to my endo. T4 is 23, T3 is 6.2. So my T4 is high, and he wants me

to drop from 200 to 175 micrograms of T4. I am reluctant, as there are no

symptoms to suggest I am overmedicated. So, I am trying to think of ways I can

fiddle my next blood test so they will leave me alone.I remember a while ago

finding a graph online where you could enter your doses and it would work out

how long before the levels plateaued. it was called projected dose changes.

Stupidly I did not save it, only added it to favourites and now the link won't

work. Does anyone know where I can find this now? thank you in advance.

Your high level of free T4 does appear to show that you are

likely over-medicated. How long ago did the increase to 200mcgs take place?

Please don't try to 'fiddle' your blood test results, this can

cause all sorts of problems should anything go wrong with your health in other

ways, and they give you a thyroid function test at that time and it doesn't

marry up with 'previous' results. Nobody should ever do this, as it can have

dangerous consequences. Please listen to your endocrinologist and be guided by

him at the moment. If you find symptoms returning on 175 mcgs T4, then you can

both look into the reason for this alter.
