Stargazer the thyroid has gone from hypo to hyper and now at the high end of normal actually depending on the lab it is now hypo again at 5. It needs to to a l-2 and it has been suggested by my neice who also has thyroid disorder that T3 is also very important and that synthroid does not address this but cytomel does and works very quickly too. I see the endo next week and that is what my suggestion will be as he does also use cytomel. My husband is running off the pertinent info to bring with us. If he refuses to acknowledge it there is an internist the Charge Nurse in the ER goes to who was the one to finally regulate her thyroid as she had seen all the endos around here and hated them all. She recommended this internist highly. Things take time to get regulated. Thyroid is blood work every six weeks and changes based on the bloodwork made then. Then the wait again. I'm very frustrated. I think anyone would be at this point. So I'm also calling the infectious control doc who treated my lymes disease chronic as no one knows when it was contracted it showed up on a blood test from a pdoc down here when he heard I'd had a tic on me. And then found out it was chronic probably from when I lived in Connecticut. Love Phillipa ps I spent a lot of time in the woods there and it was old. Lived most of the time here at the beach.
