Re: Should I Feel Better - Barb

[Guest guest]

Barb,

I agree that you may be at a hypO level for you. TSH may be best between 1

& 2, and your FT4 may be too low for you. I would definitely get TPO-Ab

checked (as well as TSI at this point). Many of us have TPO antibodies,

including myself. If you still have TSI, then I would seek out a B & R

regimen that would make sense for me. Perhaps I would try staying on

5mg/day Tap and adding synthroid to the point at which you feel good and

labs look " pretty. " If you go the B & R route, I would advise you to do some

research into it, as there is controversy. But I wouldn't stop the meds if

TSI was >2%; I'd rather add some synthroid to the mix.

One more thing...definitely get the Free T3 checked; you may not be

converting enough.
