Hello,

My name is Karen. I was diagnosed at the end of Feb. of this year. My TSH was 6.3, then. It was 4.3 the last time I had it tested.

Thanks to information I learned on this board...I am going to speak to my Dr. about getting that number down to 1-2!

I have been prescribed Synthroid (.025mg).

Hi Erika,

My name is Gina, my last TSH was 0.004. I am on 800mg of PTU for hyperthyroid. Trying to see if the PTU will regulate my thyroid. Trying to avoid RAI.

Hi Erika - great question!! I've always wanted to ask this. My name is Cathy, I'm hypothyroid with Hashimoto's. My last TSH test in June was 2.7, so was the one prior to that in February. My new endo increased my dose of synthroid 4 weeks ago from 100 mcg to 125 mcg. And I'm feeling so much better! I go back for a follow up blood test in 2 weeks. Cathy

Hi! I've been diagnosed with hypothyroidism for 5 years. Currently my TSH is 2.6 but trying to get it a little lower for TTC purposes. I'm taking 88mcgs Levoxyl and get checked again in 4 weeks. In the past 5 months I've been on 2 different meds and many different dosages trying to find the right one (switched from Armour to Levoxyl).

Hi all...I'm Kelly and I was diagnosed hypo in the Spring of 2003 but then a week later found out I was pregnant so I was just on the maintain level during pregnancy. Post partum has been a nightmare....hormones raging, hair loss, swelling (BAD), can't lose any weight, so many other things....I went from 50mcg of Synthroid to 75 to 100 and now am at 112 in the last three months. I am getting my TSH done again on Saturday and will see about another med increase. I have some endo names but haven't made any appts. I'm so stinking frustrated with it all, it's depressing. My regular doc told me she can no longer help me...
