Strange thyroid situation

[Guest guest]

Hi, I don't post much here, but I was wondering if anybody had heard

of this situation before. About 3 yrs. ago I was diagnosed

hypothyroid. My TSH was 7.2 and I was extremely symptomatic with

every symptom you can imagine, and more, except for weight gain.

Back in Oct. 03 I started eating the WAP way. Up until then I

thought I was eating a healthy low to no-fat diet (due to high chol.)

that consisted mostly of carbs. Silly me. At least I didn't agree

to take statins. In Dec. 03 I stopped taking synthroid because I was

experiencing hyperactivity, sleeplessness, and heart palpitations. I

have felt wonderful since then, except for a time in April when I

started experiencing heart palpitations again. I found out by a

reputable Dr. ( Cowan if any of you have ever heard of him

through the WAPF) that I wasn't eating enough carbs. for my system.

He gave me some supplements for my thyroid, which was still a little

high at 5.1, and told me that if I experienced any

hyperactivity, etc. that I was to wean myself, which I did. Anyway, I

have been feeling GREAT since then. Lots of energy, no weight

problems, temps up, BP up to normal, I'm not cranky, sleeping like a

baby, dreaming, no anxiety, etc. I thought for sure that my thyroid

had corrected itself. I rec'd my blood test results back the other

day, and it surprised me. My TSH level is 6.8! Apparently I'm

hypothyroid almost to the level I was before! I have NO symptoms! I

can't imagine feeling any better than I do now. How is this

possible? My Dr. says we'll take a wait and see attitude since I

have no symptoms. I'm going to get another blood test in 1 month.

I'm fine with this, but I was just wondering if any of you ever heard

of anyone experiencing this before?
