Thank you all for responding. Just woke up in middle of night to read the

emails pertaining to my problem. He's never going to order that test if he

hasn't done in all the years he's been practicing. Talk about trying to

teach an old dog new tricks. Anyway, the pain in is getting worse and I'll

have to call him as an " emergency " tomorrow. Hopefully he'll lower my dose

then. In the meantime, I'll try to have my GP run the test on Tueday as he

is very helpful.

Looking back at the labs my GP ran before my diagnosis, my free T4 was 5.53

(1.53-3.85). So not too high. I started 4 weeks ago 3 X10 tap which I

space. Question:

Can I break the tabs and take 3/4 quarter till I can pick up the 5 mgs? I

think I'm going to start even before I speak to him. Or, maybe I'll just do

the 10 mg every 12 hours. My body has been giving messages since last Sunday

to slow down on these drugs and now this pain, which has woken me up, is too

much. I feel like I'm poisoning myself each time I take a tablet. To make

matters worse, I have to get up at the crack of dawn to see at 10:00 show in

NYC which, because of the way I feel, I have zero interest in. That means

delaying talking to endo, too.

I have a few old endo appointments which I never cancelled coming up in the

within the next two weeks (first one Dec.3) and I'll have to go. Something

must of been telling me not to cancel.

I'm going to try to get some sleep and check I'll check back here before we

leave.

Thank you all so much.
