The endo I see has recommended the strategy of suppressing my TSH (to 0 if needed) by raising the T4 dose (I am also on T3) gradually, as long as there is noticeable benefit from it. Once I don't notice any more improvement, then I stop increasing. I feel so much better with my TSH suppressed (last check it was .3)

Many docs are fearful of increasing the risk of osteoporosis, but the link between taking thyroid hormones and osteoporosis is questionable, according to Mary Shomon's site (www.thyroid-info.com).
