Normal or return to hyper?

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

Three years ago, before I developed acute Graves (last year), my TSH was .67 and

my FT4 was 1.67. Based on that, last May my endo was willing to give me enough

Synthroid to balance my PTU and get me down to a TSH of .47. My FT4 and T3 are

fine (slightly above the middle, I think), and I feel good for the first time in

over a year.

On my way to this point, during Jan.-April with normal FT4 and T3 (on the lower

end) and a TSH of 2.8, I had lots of hypo symptoms, which are now mostly gone

(like you I still run cold, which is OK for the summer!). So I was so happy to

have the endo acknowledge that a TSH of .47 was normal for me.

Now the endo wants me to wean of PTU without a TSI test . . . Lots of luck in

either getting yours to be more responsive or finding a better one!
