Hi Zhi, You have a right to your lab results. In fact it's a good idea to get copies of all of them and keep a file at home. > I'm afraid of going hyper > if I stay on this 2.5 mg every other day dosage.

I suppose it's possible that it works but it's more likey that you are just having a rollercoaster effect from having the TAP in your system sometimes, but not at other times. Also you may or may not be going hyper, but before you worry, get copies of your labs and look at all the numbers together. Can you remember if the day you had those labs was a day with ot without TAP? Also, have you had the TSI antibodies tested? The TSI (thyroid stimulating immunoglobulins) are the ones to get checked to determine if you are heading for remission. Lastly, how do you FEEL? Is it hyper, roller coaster? some days fine some days not? Or do you generally feel good? That's another thing to consider in all of this. If the answer is that you don't feel good. Call the doctor and find out if you can take that 2.5 mg every day, or maybe 1.25 mg every day... I hope that helps! Good luck, Val Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
