Just a couple of thoughts. What were the latest blood test results---both the actual numbers and their ranges? This might help to see what is going on. Also, I ran across a link indicating earlier this year there was some concern about possible side effects from a reformulation of Eltroxin when the Company moved production from Canada to Germany.

Don't know if this was resolved, or if it might relate to you.
