I went to the dr on Friday for my 3 month follow up. I got the results back today. My TSH is down to 2.9 from 18. So my med are staying the same. I thought I would have to have my med increased, because I still feel tired and have low enegery. But I just got over the flu, so who knows. Maybe I just need to get my TSH down so more before I really feel better. I do feel better than I did in June when I was dx.

Hi Jada - that's great news that your TSH level is down. Maybe you can give yourself a week or so to get over the flu and then if you still don't feel great, call your doctor. He should consider increasing your medication based not just on your TSH level but also on how you feel. So if you find yourself not improving any further, then you might want to think about calling him. Hope you feel better soon, too, flu-wise. Thanks for letting us know how you're doing. hugs, Cathy :)
