Hi can anyone help me please i found a link on here for suppressed tsh after radioactive iodine i thought i had save it but i cant find it now

I read article saying that after radioactive iodine your tsh is suppressed and that doc should take more notice of your T4 & T3

My tsh is suppressed but not below range and they keep trying to dropping my levo because its 0.41

Oh, well, this paper also talks of the same subject :

Please share with me if you find where you saved it - as i'm in Graves and post RAI but now self medicating as mainstream medical insisted to dose and monitor on just a TSH despite my health declining considerably - so I now look after myself - and track on my T3 reading.

Hi pennyannie I will do I couldn't sleep one night and found it was so interesting as doctors have no knowledge or interest in now you are or how you feel and seam to think that if tsh suppressed then they need to drop your dose of levothyroxine they don't care about what your t4 or t3 is as long as its in range it was a old post but so good to show a doctor they doing wrong I so hope this brain fog would go away thankyou for all your knowledge and I hope you doing well

Ditto-

Here's a book I purchased simply because of the title - and the rest of the book just went into further thoughts and testimonials of people in the same boat - like us !!

Tired Thyroid - from Hyper to Hypo to Healing - Breaking the TSH Rule - written by Barbara S Lougheed - who has Graves and also post RAI thyroid ablation.

I think I gave you Elaine Moore books and website didn't I ?

There was this reference:

New paper submitted on subclinical hyperthyroidism and how to evaluate success of treatment.

It was precisely to make such posts locatable and accessible that I created my very recent document:
