Ok so i saw the new doctor today and loved him he was really nice and listened well.... I know your shocked a doctor who listened??? can there be such a thing? :) So when I asked him about the tiredness he said that my med dose was probobly way to low and so when my blood work comes back we will adjust the med dose, but ok so I'm on Lovostatin for my cholseterol because the thyroid is trowing my choles. off too, and when i mentioned the spasams he said it minght be from the lovostatin and is doing some kind of blood test that will deretmine if thats the cause so we'll see how that turns out, ok so 6 weeks ago my TSH was 51.2 and the doctor (not this new one) put me on levothriod and my dose is only .05( whatever it is they measure in) So we will wait to see what my TSH is now and how much the new doc. ups my dose. I just realized that there is no useful info in this message at all it's completely me me me me not even any questions.... sorry y'all I'm blab'in oh well i'm going to post it anyhow

Well I think they're lots of useful info in your post! LOL! And you, you, you is what it's all about here anyway! So you feel free to post about yourself as often as you want!! I think it's great that you got yourself a good doctor. And that he'll be adjusting your medication as you need it. And as your TSH level comes down, so should your cholesterol so I'll be interseted to see what he does about that. It's also interesting that your spasms could be related to your cholesterol medicaton. There seem to be so many side effects of that type of medication. It's a shame they can't make something that doesn't cause so many problems. Anyway, great post!! Thanks for sharing! Cathy :)
