Re: Re: Does anyone have TSH in normal range or is everyone loads out

[Guest guest]

You can try an increase of Armour, but if you feel no different or worse,

then you will need to treat adrenals with cortisol. Do not go by TSH--it's

just not possible.

You are being poorly treated and undertreated. You should get enough meds

to take care of symptoms. Look for a topdoc ASAP, do not do a sleep study.

or order Armour over the internet.

Greetings Lost_soul_002,

My TSH was 21 six months ago.............it came down to 8 after two

months on 50 MCG Levothyroxine....but didn't budge with a 25 MCG increase the

following two months....my doc just upped my doeage to 100 MCG until Feb when

he'll test my TSH again. He would like my TSH to be 2. also....maybe with this

increase.

I'm not sure how I'm functioning with my TSH at 8....maybe I just think

I feel better since I was a walking zombie for a very long time before my doc

realized I was not just depressed, tested me, and began treating me for

underactive thyroid. I was sick and tired of being sick and tired ALL the time!

I am not 100% yet, but I'm on my way!

I hope the increase in meds brings your numbers down. I can't

imagine how you are functioning with a TSH so high.

Good luck.

Cheryl,

I suggest you find an excuse to test a week earlier, if you can and the

doc will allow it. They like a six week interval for your system to

level out, but you can sometimes persuade them to act a little sooner.

My last increase of the " ramping up " schedule was after only four weeks,

and it worked out fine. He should weigh other risk factors, such as

cardiac health.
