Hypo on Levo 150µg only

[Guest guest]

For almost 30 years (I am 69 year old male 268 lbs. 6'1 " ) I've been on variously

decreasing levels of thyroxin, 20 of those years the level was 300µg Synthroid.

The past four years i've been on Levothyroxin which doctors decreased every year

to where I am now 150µg since January.

After following this forum for awhile I asked my doctor for the Free T3, T-4 and

others as Ms. Sheila had suggested. Medicare or my insurance must've covered the

costs as I saw none. All tests came back in the normal range.

I had felt an increasing tiredness throughout each day during the whole of 2009

and thought it might be low thyroid but doctor always said it was normal. Then,

in February 2010, I read where Adrenals or Iodine could be awry and started

sublingual B which perked me up a tiny. Then I read about Magnesium in April

and started periodically taking 500 mg citrate and noticed feeling a bit better.

Now the mystery; Last week we had misquito bites everywhere so we used

Hydrocortisone to stop the itch several nights in a row. Also, I had the rare

occasion to use Iodized table salt (have never used it in 40 years)on my freshly

grown tomato. I slept real well that night, woke up unusually refreshed. Then,

later that day no nap was required, wow! Anyone have any ideas?

I want to keep using something but I don't know what. Doctors DON'T seem

enthusiastic about shotgun blood tests.

Additionally, I had experienced short 4 hour episodes of A-fib (convert

themselves) three times a month last year throughout all 12 months, almost

cyclical. The last forty days I've had none (Glory be to God)

Hey, feel so good I went back to caffienated coffee in the morning!
