Thanks Phillipa. Oddly (for me) I didn't ask about the details of the tests. (Eventually I'll get a copy of them for my other doc.)
I only just got the 'script and filled it this morning, it was for levothyroxine 50 mcg., 1x per day. So today was the first time I took it. (Didn't notice much, but I think I read it can take awhile to build up or something.) I did take it with the tramadol, guess for now I'll just do that. I know I won't be asking any docs about it for awhile yet anyway, so thought I'd try to fish for some opinions here.
> Do you know which tests your doc did on your thyroid? TSH is what? T3? Assuming it's synthroid or one of the similar drugs. Since thyroid is a hormone the best person to answer your question is that doc if he's really knowledgeable or an endocrinologist. But I'd take the med for now and call a doc back and find out the rest letting him know what you found out. Please let us know. Phillipa
