Yes, I am currently on 25mg/day (1/4 pill 2x/day), despite my endo's efforts to keep my overdosed. I have been working more with my GP. If I were following my endo's suggestions, I would STILL be on 150mg/day, until end of September! (Maybe I wouldn't be here to write this if I were. Shudder.) > I recall your levels were not very high to begin with. I hope you can > get the Dx straight and know how to proceed. Thanks. I am hoping the same. GP wants me to wait until Sept to get antibodies tested. > But in the meantime don't forget a TSH of 4.3 can make you feel pretty > sad and morose and in need of that reminder that your (low) thyroid > levels are affecting your emotions. Yes. I'm basically all right. Just a little SLOOOW. Perhaps a bit more melancholy, at least compared to cheery subclinical hyper. My TSH actually went down from 5.27, so it is good to know I'm probably going in the right direction. I really wonder if this move in TSH (from .01 two months ago) could just be from overdosing. Seems strange. Waiting for antibody tests with bated PTU breath. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
