> Chloe..those thyroid results are ideal. The TSH is not in the hyperthyroid range at all- it is close to the low limit of normal. This means that the Cytomel(T3) you are taking, plus the T4 your body is naturally producing are at good enough levels that your brain only needs to produce a low level of thyroid stimulating hormone(TSH). It is just about perfect, both to protect you from depression and to ensure that your thyroid gland remains healthy. Whether you take 5 mcg., or try to go for 2.5, you are doing really, really well!

> PfinsteggPfinstegg,
Thanks for your great reply. I am so glad that all is within normal limits. I am going to keep at the 2.5 mcgs for at least today. If I am still dragging so tomorrow, I will go back up to the 5 mcgs, where the lab results were drawn.
Your support means so much to me :-)
