Hi everyone, hope you're all doing well. I was diagnosed with Graves in '06. I was on a very small dose of anti thyroid med and went hypo quickly. I often wonder if i had Graves at all, or just the antibodies but was having a hyper flare of Hashi's instead.I always had pretty high tpo's.My first endo was an ***. Anyway, fast forward to today. I am on Levothyroxine now 25 mcgs, I went hypo by myself.My Mom died in May and that along with that dose made me go a little hyper,mostly from the stress (my trigger) I "felt" the rise anyway. I tried every other day after that, that wasn't enough. I tried the 25 again for 8 weeks. The frees were the same, at the lower end of the range with a tsh of over 4.I realize I need more but am afraid of feeling hyper again.
I don't feel great being hypo but not terrible either. I want to go to 50 but right now I'm trying 37.5. I cut a 50 in half, then cut another one in half and take only half of that piece. Thus,37.5. I'm waiting for my endo to call, she's great and basically because I have Graves and Hashi's, she knows I'm a weird case.I don't know if she'll go for 37.5 though, she'll probably say try 50. Anybody on this weird dose?? I have heard people say they were before, some years ago before I was on this med. Thanks for any input.
