thyroid tests and allergy to cytomel

[Guest guest]

my last thyroid labs show my TSH to be 0.066 (.270-4.200)

FT3 3.65 (2.57-4.43)

FT4 1.76 (0.64-1.77)

my doc has been increasing my synthroid. whenever i go to his office c/o being

washed out and depleted, he raises my synthroid.

last visit, after he looked at the above lab report and showed it to me. he

raised my synthroid again, from 125 mcgs to 150 mcgs. he said after one week

to raise it from 150mcgs to 200mcgs every a.m.

he said the low TSH indicates that i need more synthroid.

i have raised it to 200mcgs yesterday. he also told me to continue the cytomel

2.5mcg once a day in the p.m.

after the visit, i read somewhere that the more synthroid you take the lower

the TSH goes.

also, i told him that cytomel (generic) gives me hives. he told me to take a

benadryl before i take it.

i still am not feeling very well and i would appreciate your comments please.

thank you, lois
