thyroid question

[Guest guest]

I stopped taking my thyroid meds in February cause I thought they were

making me feel worse. I have terrible muscle fatigue and I can't seem

to get anything done. I decided one day that it was my thyroid pills

so I just up and stopped them. Well in March I went to a new doctor

and my TSH was 18.8 so he put me back on them of course. The problem

is that I didn't feel any different off of them as I did on them so I

don't know what the point is. The interesting thing is that I was on

225 of synthroid before I decided to take myself off of it. When this

new dr wrote my new rx he made it for 125mcg. I was sure it wouldn't

be enough but when I did my blood earlier this week my TSH was 3.2.

I'm shocked and confused as to why I needed to be on 225 before to

maintain the same level of TSH. Its the same medicine too. Very

weird.

There is one thing that has changed and that is that I've lost 44

pounds since March. Can weight effect the dose?
