Endo Visit Was Today

Hi Ladies,

I posted a couple weeks ago about my TSH levels and wondering what they meant, well now I know. My levels are in the area where my endo wants them, but I am having such horrible mood swings, fatigue, irritablity, weight gain, etc.... So at the Endo today she said that she liked the dose I was taking for TSH purposes, but she lowered the dose and said to try it for 6 weeks. So in 5 weeks I go to get my blood work done again and in 6 weeks I go back to the Endo. If things don't change with the new dose the Endo believes that I might need to be put on an anti-depressant, ugh! I don't care what they put me on as long as this roller coaster stops! My kids and husband don't deserve the Crazy Mama :) I told my dd(7.5yo) today that we are changing my medication again, so I wasn't sure if the Crazy Mama was staying or going and she said she hopes she leaves because she doesn't like her, she likes the "Real" Mama :( I wanted to cry, but I wasn't going to make her feel worse!

Ok Thanks for letting me vent and share!

Love to All,

Hi Nicole,


It sounds as though you have a combination of hypo and hyper symptoms so it's hard to say what the change in dose will do.

Thanks for your help! So you are saying that I have a split personality? LOL! My TSH level was .465.
