What to ask your endo

[blondie409]

I was diagnosed with hypothyroid in June of this year. My TSH was 6.4. I was put on .100MG of levothyroxine. I was checked about a month later and my TSH was .06. I didn't believe it...I was still in a fog, weight issues, cold hands and feet, lethargic. I went back again a few weeks later and my Tsh was .02, t4 was 1. She never did the T3. I asked her why I don't feel right and she said I was overmedicated and to cut my pill in half. I have an endo appt on Monday. Has anyone heard of feeling the same yet being overmedicated? What questions to I ask the endo? Any experiences you've had would really help

Thanks Helen. I have taken basal body temp and it is 97.1. I am going to an endo because my general doc, didn't take in consideration my 20 pounds of unexplained weight gain, my basal temp, my lethary, my fogginess, and my lack of periods (not that I'm complaining too much about that!, but 4 periods in a year just ain't right ;) I will post more when I see the endo on Monday. Thanks for your help!

since i just learned, i would to spread the word as much as i can, it doesn't hurt to ask:
1. check Vit. D level
2. can she put you on a different type of pill?

for yourself, i would suggest you start to take basal body temp in the morning, if you are lower than 97.8 most of the time, and if you still have all those hypo symptoms, you are most likely hypo, despite your blood work result.

i know how frustrated this can so, good luck!
