Blood work shows i am bit hypo, but i feel hyper??

[helen1207]

this is very confusing.... my blood work result shows that i am a bit "high"( spoke to doctor briefly but she wouldn't tell me the detail), so she wants me to go back to 50 mcg from 75 mcg..... but since i felt so hypo myself for a week or so(tired, sleepy, depressed, shedding, slow-thinking)...i started to take 100mcg myself a few days ago and i seem to be better.......

what should I do???

Hi, I just wanted to say my TSH has been all over the place this year high and low, but I get mostly what are traditionally known as hyper symptoms. However, people here have told me that very often the symptoms from both hypo and hyper cross, but that docs still look at traditionaly symptoms. Sorry I can't advise on the meds, but hope the above helps.

Very little info to go on, but I suggest that you check your basal body temperature to get an idea of your metabolism/thyroid.  There is lots of info on this if you look up Dr Broda Barnes basal body temperature testing.  See my posst on this subject.  Also, when you check your BBT, please post results, for the benefit of other posters.

this is indeed good information. I will try to find more info on the BBT and sure will post my results here.
thank you all for your words and cares. this is a great community.
