6 week lab results

So last tuesday I got the results of my lab work. My tsh had been over 5 and is now 2.07, my t4 is normal and my t3 is slightly elevated, but the endo says it's ok. He is keeping me on the same dose of 50mcg. I was trying to figure out why I felt a little better but then some days I felt so much worse. Wednesday came and my back was really bugging me and I called the urologist to ask about stones. I went in and they took some xrays and and the next thing I knew I was in the OR having a cystoscopy. I had passed a stone but was so inflamed I was holding water and had a UTI. Now I'm stuck in bed and with the stent in I feel like I have to go to the bathroom every five minutes. Maybe once this is removed I will feel better. I go back there tomorrow and will see about having it taken out.

Mary - I'm so sorry about the kidney stone and I hope you recover soon. I know that is veyr painful. Just take care of yourself and rest!! Great news on the tsh level though.It may go down a bit more over the next few weeks. I hope you have a follow up blood test scheduled for 3 months or so. With that low a dose of synthroid, you're going to want to stay on top of that to make sure your tsh oesn't start going up again - or at last that you catch it soon when if it doen start to climb. Get better soon so you can enjoy your new healthiness!! :) Cathy :)
