Hey jules how are you, still alternating between 1.25 and 2.5? Your labs are getting better since June but your t-3 is getting too low. You are not hyper according to Oct.8th,whatever you were taking at the time of this lab you could probably go a little lower. How about selenium, that might help with the t-4 to t-3 conversion too. I was taking 2.5 three times a week, then two with the 1.25,now just 1.25 and Elaine says I can go lower or skip days. Scary! LOL!

I really need to talk w/ the endo b/c if i keep reducing the t4 is gona raise when i really want the t3 raising ..Besides Selenium what can a do? I go back to the endo on friday ...SO anything i could tell him would be greatly apperciated. I feel good but am notcing some changes in mental state hair and skin

Hey there! I decided to take a peek at your journal just now.
Your endo sounds all-too-typical, Why the heck would she make the comment about "risks" associated with in-range levels???? (we all know to forget about TSH).
Sheesh, what about the genuine risks I had when my levels were too low for me but in-range? I realized that I was a danger on the road at one point!
I couldn't think straight, couldn't talk straight - was making serious errors running my business as well as my personal finances. And these were just SOME of my experiences while at a too-low level for me. What about those risks??? Yikes!!!
Thank goodness you stuck to your guns!!! We WILL heal from this disease in spite of the inept care we receive.
Ahem :)
