Question for those without a thyroid gland

September 22, 2006

This October it will be 10 years since I've had my thyroid removed as

well as all the lympth nodes on the right side. As per my last blood

test my TSH was 0.07 which is the lowest it's ever been that was back

on July 13th. To date I've now lost 10lbs which I am very thankful

for. My question is this: Is it possible to be sitting on the cusp of

hyper/hypo? My body temp has risen somewhat, I'm sweating like I

never have before and I seem to be intolerant of heat. I am currently

on day ten with the same headache. In all of the research I've been

doing that doesn't seem to be one of the symtoms of Hyper. I've not

experienced any heart palps. Now I know on or about the 13th of

October I will be seeing my Dr. and I know he's gonna wanna up my

thyroxine but I am wondering if it is more on the hyper side how much

should he increase it to keep it at 0.00? I am currently

taking .15mcg Please if anyone including Topper can give me some

sound advice as to what to do. I am still taking the thyroid helper

and my Dr. said if I can find a natural source of Thyroid hormone to

get it and try it. I've questioned a few health food stores and one

of them told me they carry thyrosine. I may give that a try next as

it is too costly to keep getting the thyroid helper from the States.
