Surprised by my new tsh results
| Mon, 09-13-2004 - 5:54pm |
Hi Everyone!! I just got my TSH results back from last week. I hadn't been tested in a year because i just couldn't afford it, and i mean i was desperate. Well, I'm hyper at .16, i was kind of surprised because normally i would've run to the ER by now. I've had much worse symptoms with much better levels. I wonder why? I just wish i would lose some weight, funny how i quickly gain if i go hypo and how slowly i lose, if at all, when i'm hyper. I never had a weight prob before. It's really kind of depressing. I don't even look like myself anymore.

Hi cshellie04,
I think that's one of the puzzling things about thyroid stuff.

I was already taking Tapezole, so now i take an additional 5 milligrams each day. Hopefully that will bring me down to normal. I've taken just about every dose possible though, and i go through normal ranges on my way to hypo or hyper, it never seems to level off. i've heard that after you become normal, you should back of about 5 milligrams per day. I'd like to try that this time and see what happens. My doctor is really not very good anymore. He didn't even reschedule me like usual, but every thing has changed at his clinic. Usually he says when to come back and test again though, but not this time. I hate being left up in the air.
