Yay!! I saw my PCP yesterday for a different issue and talked with her about the ENT prescribing me the Synthroid and the subsequent result (extremely low TSH and high FT4). She didn't have the lab...
Thanks for the info. If my FT4 has consistently been high over the years with and without Levo, and my TSH is consistently low with and without Levo, shouldn't I be shooting to lower my FT4 with meds...
You were right Hashi. I took the Synthroid for 3 weeks. After afternoon naps with a pounding heart more blood was drawn. My TSH was ".01 (Low)" and my FT4 was "2.6 (High)". The ENT told me to stop...
An ENT gave me the 150mcg of Levo. He has my labs. I'll ask for TPOab and TSIab. I understand the concern of adding synthroid to an already hyper (on paper) person. But I have symptoms of both, and...

Thanks again for replying Hypo. I am on 150 mcg. I've only taken it once a day in the am for six days. I started on it Monday. I talked to the doctor over the phone Friday, and I heard him say I was...
Thanks Hypo! I am aware that I probably "look" hyper in blood work, but symptoms are in both categories. It's crazy making. I just want the pain to cease or at least subside somewhat. I know it's a...
Hi Chib-I too have skin changes. Dark spots smaller than a dime on my face, chest and back. White "freckles" on my shins and calves. I just started meds. So IMO it's not the meds. Maybe just part of...
