I am 48 years old.  I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism when I was 18 months old so I have been dealing with Thyroid issues as long as I can remember.  I currently take a combo of Levoxyl and Cytomel.  Until recently, my levels had been pretty stable, but since I went into menopause last year, I've been experiencing low TSH.  This is not unexpected since my doctor had warned me that my bodies need for thyroid hormone would decline after menopause.  

I was just wondering if anyone else has experienced this and how low did you go on the T4.  I was taking 175 mcg of T4 and 10 mcg of Cytomel, but I'm not taking 150 mcg (Cytomel remains the same).

I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism late last year. I also have been diagnosed with UCTD (undifferentiated connective tissue disease) which will most like, according to rheumy, become Lupus.
