Guest guest Posted October 7, 2003 Report Share Posted October 7, 2003 A TSH of 0.9 is still too high right since we are looking for <0.1 but why would the docs say I had too much levoxyl? They lowered me from 175 to 150mcgs. Also, I felt really horrible when I was on it and they said that was because I was on the hyper side. Trying to get my side straight...

Guest guest Posted October 8, 2003 Report Share Posted October 8, 2003 Maureen, In a recent posting in Sept. you stated that your blood work was >TSH is 10.72. My thyroglobulin is <0.9 < Now you say it was your TSH that was 0.9. Which is correct? Based on your earlier post it would stand to reason that you felt horrible with a TSH of 10.72. That is very hypo. Any reduction in medication with your numbers elevated like that is an indication that your doctor does not know how to manage thyroid cancer. I suggest you look for another endo or at least ask your endo how many thyca patients he is following; you may be the only one. There are many patients that need upward of 200 mcg to achieve suppression. Gail dx: 1968, TT, pap. & foll. well differentiated w/hurthle cell, RAI, rad.neck dissection,lung surgery, hashimoto, tg antibody 575, iodine resistant,existing thyca nodules in lungs.
