Too much thyroxine?

Posted by MB on July 10, 2001, at 4:07:53

I just got some test results back from the doctor. I went in because I was so headachy and fatigued with a feeling like my heart was beating irregularly and harder that usual. I am currently taking l-thyroxine, and thought I might be taking too little (or too much?). He ran a THS test, and it turned out to be .8 uIU/mL. I just read on this web page (http://thyroid.about.com/library/howto/hthyperthyroidism.htm) that the range is between .5 and 5.5 uIU/mL. The page also said that if you are in the low range, you might be hyperthyroidic. Does anybody understand this stuff? I feel like I'm poisoned. could I be taking too much thyroxine? The doctor doesn't seem concerned, but I am.
