Aggression and work place

I have been written up for "mouthing off" at work. I know it is my thyroid, I am taking the meds, but I have been given my last chance letter. Thyroid is sky high, I have explained this to my supervisor and the president of the company.  
Help, how long does it take to straighten out . .  I am afraid I will lose my job.

Please post your FT3, FT4 and TSH results.  Include reference ranges as these vary lab to lab and have to come from your own lab report.

It sounds like you might be undermedicated.  Have you discussed this with your doctor?

Your FT4 and T3 are both very high, as you said.  Unfortunately, that's a total T3...your doctor should be testing FT3.  

Are those labs from before you went on meds or since starting?  If they're current, do you have pre-meds labs?  If I understand correctly, you've only been on meds for a week???  Have they helped at all?
