lots of questions...LOTS

[Guest guest]

I've been feeling reeeaaalllyy tired lately so Idecided to visit a

local general doc. instead of traveling to SA (too lazy, I know), but

of course- I'm not thrilled with the results.

Dr. Ozan had me at .150mcg, w/maybe changing it up on the next visit.

NOW: I came out w/a TSH of 0.056(flagged low) and the doc in town

switched me from .150mcg to 25mcg. Is this correct?!?

And I also came out low in the following:

Insulin (fasting)-4.4 (6.0-27.0)

Prothrombin time INR-0.9 (2.0-3.5)

Now the blood tests were done by LabCorp, so I can't blame it on the

locals...but does anyone know if this is ok?!

Thanks!

This is not OK. That is too big of a reduction, if indeed a reduction is justified at all. He has reduced your meds based on TSH alone. This is a formula for undermedication. You need a Free T3 and a Free T3, not just TSH. I suggest that you avoid the local cranio-rectals for thyroid and make the trip to SA.Eva Sepulveda wrote: I've been feeling reeeaaalllyy tired lately so Idecided to visit a local general doc. instead of traveling to SA (too lazy, I know), but of course- I'm not thrilled with the results.Dr. Ozan had me at .150mcg, w/maybe changing it up on the next visit.NOW: I came out w/a
