Hey all,
I just came across this short article explaining how to be sure your thyroid test are being done in the proper timing after stopping your thyroid meds. My doc always tells me to skip my morning dose when I go in for testing.

Good read! If only I could get my PCP to read it!

Took me 6 months to get her to finally do the correct blood test to prove that she never should've changed my dose and that I've been hyperthyroid for months.

Hopefully finally reducing my meds back to normal will take the edge off the insanity (and ridiculously ravenous eating) I've been dealing with lately. Felt like I was going through menopause at 27!!!!
