You're doing awesome! Congrats on finishing treatment. Now you can look forward to a wonderful spring and summer.

Sounds like you're doing really well, but isn't that drug for thyroid?  Better talk to your doctor, looks like a small dose, but you need to know the implications of dropping something like that.  good luck

Sounds like you're doing great!  Glad to hear you're able to ride the bike every day.  

Please don't stop the thyroid med until you doc says your TSH level is okay.  I take levothyroxine too and I feel much, much better when it keeps my TSH down.  You'll not have any energy, etc if your TSH gets all out of whack.  It's a pretty easy med to take and well worth the effort.

Oops, I see that your TSH is listed at 2.006 and that's a GREAT number.  If your .05 dose of levothyroxine does the trick, keep taking it.  I'm on a low dose too (.0375) and it's working for me so far.

[mrvacation]

Yes,  I delevop hypothyroidism during treatment.

I am also a genotype 2, UND @ 12 weeks and 24 weeks and now have to wait for 24 week post treatment PCR.  Do you know what your alt and ast numbers are?  That's a good indication of how you are doing.

[mrvacation]

AST 34 RANGE 0-40; ALT 49 RANGE 0-55

[alwaysconfused]

Your  alt is better than when you were undetected at 12 weeks, so I would say that is an excellent sign.  Did you also have a pcr?  How long will it take to get those results?

[mrvacation]

Yes, I had Pcr done, Lab Corp QuantaSure takes about 2 weeks, should have soon.12 week lab ast 30 alt 47
