TSH issue. Hypo becoming Hyper

[jassa]

I have had hypothyroid problem for 2 years.

My blood test done in March and I have found my TSH was 0.08. Which was causing my hands to become occassionally swollen and I got palpatations everytime I lied down and I got very tired. I was on 10mg T3 and 75mg T4. The doctor reduced my T4  to 62.5 mg. Everything has settled down a bit and my last blood test in July showed my TSH has come up to 0.37.

However, I find I still suffer slightly with these symptoms especailly the tiredness and palpatations. If I excercise, I suffer alot a few days later and therefore suffer from tiredness. I also find bright lights a problem especially if I go to the cinema. I also still get quite sweaty and panicky. Does this sound like adrenal problems or too much T3/T4?

My doctor just looks at the TSH of 0.37 (0.35-5.5) and says I'm within range and I should come back in 6 months time.

With the TSH of 0.37 from the blood test done first thing in the morning without taken t3/t4 medication. Would the result have been the same if I took my medication in the morning and taken the blood test in the afternoon? Does taking the medication push me back down again?

I'm thnking of reducing the medication further to see how I go. Down to T3 10mg and T4 50mg. Do you think its wise to do this?

I would talk to your doctor first, but I am with you- I feel best between a 1 and 2 TSH even though they think I am 'normal' at a .4 tell your doctor you'd like to be closer to a 1 and that backing off your meds is an idea and see what they say.
