Guest guest Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 I am waiting on a call from my doctor's office. I went last Friday to get blood work--thyroid. I had it checked a month ago and the doc lowered my med dosage. But now I am increasingly feeling crappy. "Tired" just doesn't cover it:) The nurse called me yesterday and told me the level was fine. I told her I was positive it would be low because I feel so bad. She said something about the TSH level being fine. After I hung up I thought about it and realized she didn't say anything about the other thyroid tests like T3 and T4. I am wondering if they failed to do those tests. I have never, ever showed low levels on just the TSH test. So I put in another call. In the meantime, I have decided to go ahead and go back up to the higher level med I was on before. I have been on that level of thyroxine for over 15 years. hugs to all SharonThis email is a natural hand made product.
