Guest guest Posted September 19, 2003 Report Share Posted September 19, 2003 Hello, all, I'm a fairly newly diagnosed hypothyroid, about 6 mos, and my up and down and up waaayyy high TSH and goal of " fixing me " ASAP sent me back to my GP 2 days after he upped my Synthroid from 50 to 75 with a page of notes and after spending the better part of an hour with me we did the autoimmune antibodies test which he said confirmed it was Hashimotos (debatably only confirmable by biopsy?) and it was ok to TTC. Yeah, right ... meanwhile, my thyroid has been in a crash and burn stage for between two weeks and a month and I've been struggling with associated symptoms. So that's my general intro, I'm here to lurk and learn, and also put a general question out there - What's your experience with the time span between ups and down of TSH and associated symptoms? I'm not mentioning T3 right now because I don't have labs to reference - when I did ask him to order a T3 test the visit that my TSH had gone to 18 from 1.1 approximately 2 mos before - he ordered the wrong one - total as opposed to free - so I'm going to see a locally renound endo to at least aim for better tests and keeping my fingers crossed for better health! Nice to " meet " you, Carla Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
