Well despite having crazy symptoms.  My thyroid and internal organs have had a massive clear out! They are working much better now!

I am now weaning off my thyroxine!

This is all very exciting!

Bit confusing as 4 days ago you posted your TSH as 8 which shows you are hypo, is it wise coming off thyroxine ?!

Bakerstreet,

If you're lacking thyroid hormone which TSH 8 indicates, you shouldn't attempt to reduce Levothyroxine dose.   Chinese Medicine may improve thyroid function but a few days isn't long enough to judge.  Perhaps you should wait until you've been supplementing  CM for 6-8 weeks and have a thyroid function test to check levels before weaning off Levothyroxine.
