Thyroid----
Jan 18 2008 10:44

So i had another appointment with my thyroid doctor.  The new upped meds is really working.  I have energy, im able to l ose weight, and feel almost normal.  Sometimes I feel like i have too much energy, like almost jittery.  But anywyas  he showed me my blood work that made all of these changes possible.

So my new doctor told me that the best time to get my blood work done is first thing i nthe morning and before you ate anything.  No one ever told me this before.

Anyways so my blood work showed my tsh levels like around 14 and they were supposed to be 2.  And,  he also testes some enzyme or something ( not very scientific)  Anyways it tests to see how active your hashimotos is.  Mine was like 341 and the levels should not be over 34.  After this conversation i understood why he had me increase my medicine.

i am getting blood work again next week to see how my levels are doing.  i have been doing really well with taking my thyroid.  So we will see.  I think after this he'll bring the medicine back down to 200.

Anyways Im happy this guy knows what hes talking about!
