Hi All,
Pardon this report; it didn't get but one reply last time and I really need some help going over my labs and my next move: to stop thyroid meds altogether or to hang in there.
Newly diagnosed. Titrating up with Nature Throid. I know about the manufacture shortage so I may be switching, but for now I'm still on it. Today was my first day at 2g, after increasing only slightly from 1.75g (I've been titrating slowing, 1/4g each time, every 7-10days). However, I've been at this for a couple months - started eight weeks ago at 1/8g (cut the 1/4 in half).
Should I be feeling ANY better? Or is it that before 2.0g I wasn't up enough to make a difference? Would you take a look at my latest labs? My numbers have slightly improved but only by .1 to .3 in most of the tests. Namely FT3; it only went up .3
I think I'm reading them right, but since I'm new to all of this, I'd really like your help, please:
