Hey Mitch and Jumpy,
If I understand this right, TSH goes up when there is a lack of thyroid hormone available. BUT, my TSH is on the low side AND so are my thyroid hormones, T3 and T4. Hum, I wonder if I should ask my pdoc about this so I could get a referral to an endocrinologist...I'm tired of seeing doctors...
I am finding I am graaaadully waking up a bit and feeling more alert on 2.5 mcgs. I think I will keep the dose on the small side, even though splitting this teeny weeny crumbly pill is a pain in the neck. I don't want to feel tense and "jumpy." But I don't think I have to worry about high thyroid at this point. My T3 and T4 are almost as low as they can go.
I appreciate the info. What an interesting gland the thyroid is. I never really gave it much thought until now...
Many thanks
Chloe
