Just got my new labs tsh was 79, now 2.14 and t4, free was .6 now 1.5. Dr said they are in normal range, but depending on how i am feeling if i want i can up from 75 mcg to 88, but feeling good so i am not doing anything as of now and he said my thyroid was 3 1/2 times larger then normal at last visit and it has considerably gone down. Happy to be feeling good!

Great! Sounds good. Glad your dr gives you the option of upping the meds if you feel you need it.

Hi Jennifer! Yea! That is great news that your thyroid has gotten smaller. I am also glad to hear that you are feeling better. All those lingering symptoms are gone?

bookishmomma,
Yes, i have been feeling really good! I just hope it stays like this. My neck hasn't even been achy anymore. How are you doing?? I haven't seen you on here in a while and i was wondering how you have been doing.

I have been around, but not starting my own threads. So, you'd have to see the threads right after I posted to know I was in there.

Anyway, if you had asked me how I was last week I would have said everything was great, but I started to get all lightheaded and dizzy and tired/achy last Wednesday through today. I am either having allergies or a cold, though, so I can't tell what is causing this--you know how that is.

I guess I will know in a week or so if it hasn't improved. My next labs are mid-April.

So, you decided not to increase? You really must be feeling up to your old self again. That is great. Hey, that reminds me--didn't you have a relapse of symptoms a couple of weeks before your labs? How long did that last for you? Maybe this is all part of the adjusting process. I am three and 1/2 weeks into the new 75 dose.
