not only silly, but keeps you hypo.

Dr. Lowe has written a good critique on T4 replacement that discusses some of

these issues. have your doctor read it.

http://www.drlowe.com/frf/t4replacement/intro.htm

try logic with him...that if you're having hypo symptoms, you can't be hyper.

and that your thyroid hormone levels bear this out.

Your Free T4 has actually gone done if I'm looking at this correctly.

And he didn't test Free T3 again...but you were very low in December.

Heck, no wonder you're having hypo symptoms.

I believe I'd be giving him a written document for his files listing your

remaining hypo symptoms. Ya can't beat documentation for getting a doctor

scared

of being sued for inadequate treatment.

But have him read that critique. There was also something recently posted

about when on T4 replacement, the level needs to be slightly over the range to

relieve symptoms.
