Almost certainly just overmedicated. Our need for thyroid hormone can change with the weather/seasons, levels of activity, and other life changes (such as changes in other hormones, especially estrogens). In the normal course of events the body would just adjust production, but you have to do it manually. Yes hyperthyroidism can recur after RAI, but it isn't common once you have reached near total replacement dose of thyroid hormone. I'm becoming increasingly sceptical of the numbers game, if you feel hyperthyroid, with those numbers there is room to drop the dose. But do it slowly, as mild hypothyroidism can be hard to recognise in yourself. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQE+v+f0GFXfHI9FVgYRAug+AKCjzH2HzcdkfcvpwT/jS4whKzbHSwCgip3B eUkcKRu5J+cVNF+tvjN4mCY= =rF44 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 12, 2003 Report Share Posted May 12, 2003 I would try to reduce the synthroid before anything else.
