Got blood work results

My doctor's office called today with my TSH results. My TSH has dropped from 32.119 to 8.5ish (YEAH!!!). It is still high, but showing significant improvement since being on Synthroid. It is such a relief to see improvement over one month. My doctor did increase my dosage from 25 MCG to 50 MCG and hopefully this will continue to normalize my levels. I was asked to come back in a few months to recheck levels.

Thanks for the support.

Hi Beth,


That's a huge change in a short amount of time.

Yes, I am feeling somewhat better ~ but not 100%. I still have days where I feel *really* tired and I am not losing any weight. Other days I have energy to make it through work and then come home and do things around the house. Mentally, the difference is amazing. I can think better, recall things easier and I feel more focused.

I look forward to feeling even better and having even more energy as time goes by.

Hi Beth,


Glad to hear thinks are improving. That increase should really help things along.
