after 6weeks on henning throxine , my ths is 49 and t4 8, dr just rang me and asked me if i was taking the meds each day ? what do you guys

[christina]

she has told me ive got to increase the dose

With a TSH so high, you have no option but to increase. What dose are you taking at present?

[christina in reply to shaws]

only 50mg, but i have to build up the dose slowly as it causes bad migraines , going up 25mg to 75 from today , i feel so tired this explains why

[shaws Administrator in reply to christina]

A lose dose of levo can cause problems in itself so as you increase you might feel so much better. You will also, I believe, need a higher dose than 75mcg so you will need another blood test around 4 to 6 weeks.

yes , i was on the equivilent of 125 wen i was on nature thyroid, its just getting to the right dose , and not doing it to quick as to make me ill , as the dr wanted me to go up by 50 in one go , no chance of that with me as it would make me ill , but so far ive had no bad syptoms from the hennings like all other meds ive tried , so fingers crossed

[shaws Administrator in reply to christina]

Yes, fingers crossed

Can I ask why you came off the nature thyroid?

[christina in reply to Churchie]

hi , i came off it as my t4 levels was only 6 and more importantly i started to feel really tired all the time again , and got back most of the old syptoms i had before
