decreasind synthroid

if you need to decrease your synthroid dose does it take some people longer to adjust to to decrease especially if your body is sensitive to meds and you have a chronic disease .

There was no reason for the pcp to be unresponsive. I called the renal doctor to check to see if my meds were working okay because of the renal condition or if anything else could be going on on there end. There are a lot a things she has to check because of the condition since it has a lot to do with the kidney function. She ordered the bloodwork including checking the thyroid level to check things out. The pcp is the one who suggested I see the renal specialist therefore I think they should be able to work together because I am being treated by both of the them. I asked the pcp to send me a script to have the bloodwork done at the lab I go to. This is due in 2 weeks. I will see what happens. I am thinking about another pcp.

What pieces of the puzzle are you having such a hard time putting together?  

What "report" are you referring to?

Wasn't your question about decreasing Synthroid answered in another thread?   Just in case it wasn't, I'll answer it here.

Yes, it can take some people longer to adjust to ANY med dosage change, because we are all different and none of reacts the same to dosage/med changes.  

You have renal issues, so your situation is going to be different from the rest of  us on the forum.

I know you're frustrated with your pcp for being unreponsive and that your renal doctor didn't like the way your pcp was handling things.  It's never a good idea to have more than one doctor managing your thyroid issue; you need to pick one or the other to manage it and let ONLY that doctor adjust your med. If you don't trust your pcp, you probably should find another.

I give up. I am tired of trying to put the pieces of the puzzle together...
