I'm so happy.
My TSH came back at 3.3something. Doc said she wants to increase my dosage. Maybe this will help me feel better. I have had such a hard time getting increases - doc always just says that I'm within normal. I know many of you know how that goes!! I'll start my new dosage tomorrow! Posted on 06/04/09, 03:06 pm |

Well, since nobody else has replied, I'll reply to myself!
So far so good...it is day 6 on the new dosage and I can feel the difference. I don't feel as horrible as I was feeling there for awhile!

Hi Bdancer,
I was on the same dose of Synthroid for 12 years. My TSH was at 0.001. I had no problems until '06. I wish the docs would wise up and treat people as individuals and not just numbers!

I am glad you are feeling better. Sometimes we have to keep on until we get the doctors to understand. I am glad you are doing better.

Good for you Bdancer! I know it can be hard getting these doc's to increase when your numbers are within range. Hope you keep on feeling alot better.

Look at getting your Free T3 and Free T4 done as well. Checking the TSH alone is not the answer. TSH results is from six weeks prior anyway.
Take care... :-)

totally new. got diagnosed a month ago. I started on 50mg Synthroid, now on 75 mg. I still have the beach whale bloatness, was always a stick my whole life. I gained 20 lbs in a year and half but I also quit smoking back then.
I wanted to know what your taking Bdancer? This site is great! I have 19 yrs in a 12 step program so I knew to look to get help it would be there. Just wish I could "go to a meeting" for this!
