low TSH
Oct 07, 2008 05:19PM in the Thyroid Disorders Community
I'm not sure about the questions regarding pregnancy because I have only had my Graves diagnosis since late 2005, and I was way past having children. I had RAI on 12/28/05 and then worked up to 100mcg of Synthroid. In January of this year I was changed to 125 of Levoxyl because my TSH was 5.+.

I just had my dose decreased from 105mg to 90mg about 5 weeks ago. I am fe...

Hello there! I haven't been online for awhile. Just been trying to relax a bit. I am now on week 5 of my reduced dose of 90mg and I seem to be doing pretty good. The aches and pains are minimal and only every now and then. My breathing has improved a lot as well as my general disposition. But, I still think there will need to be a little bit of tweaki...

Boy--sure sounds inviting!!! Since my Graves and RAI a few years ago, I found that I am now allergic to beer and wine! Can you believe that??? I used to look forward to having a glass of wine (or two) on a Friday night. Can't drink it anymore. My neck gets red, and my throat and ears itch. Its really wierd!!!
