> Hey no problem. As of today three docs fighting over correct dose. Evidently there is a thyroid loop and I don't understand as TSH was down to 2.5 but they said T4 was high and it's more important. Didn't sleep last night worrying about who to believe and how to figure it out. The endo says down to l00mcg six days and a half of that other day. Wants to lower it. Was on 125mcg for a few weeks. Love Phillipa ps any lit you have if you babbleme I'll give address. Thanks for responding.<
Well, with three doctors-- sounds like you'll have MORE than a second opinion! ;o)
I take and have taken 100mcg daily for many years -- still think I need an increase though, but my family doc won't listen. I'm changing family docs this summer so hopefully my new one will be more open to listening to patients. I've had to wait 6 months for an appointment! Not enough doctors here.I'm sorry, I don't know what "babbleme" means. *blushing*.... told you I'm not so good with this format. :o( Is it some kind of private message and if so- how do I go about to do it? if you don't mind me asking.....sorry.....
I do have a couple good books on this subject I could recommend to you-- let me know if you're interested.
Hope you get your thyroid situation straightened out real soon-- if it's even possible- I'm wondering that on this end-- in my case anyway.
good day to you!
