Slayer is very relaxing i listen to it on the way to church . your number look pretty good this thyroid stuff ***** but if your like me it could make a big difference in a slight adjustment. i felt way worse or better with a change of a 15 20 in dose so only way is to try it out and tweek from there . it ***** but that really the only way that i know. i know the feeling . walked around for a year like i was on methamphetamines and i tell the docs that every time they suggest trying synthetics again. its all what works for you. hang in there.

I mediate every day and listen to slayer and exodus. Its very relaxing. I just changed meds so my tests arent accurate. however on my last tests they were:
TSH 1.8 rage .4 to 4.5
t4 free 1.7 0.8 -1.8
t3 free 3.3 2.3-4.2
RT3 45 11-32
Doctor said i was on too high of a dose and since i was on the compound, I would be chasing my numbers for a long time so on March 7 I decided to change from the compound to synthroid. He started me at 150 mcg but if you went by my weight I would need 125 mcg. (yes i know that its just a guideline)
I still feel horrid, but maybe i still have too much hormone. I have not had a solid bowel movement since Moses parted the red sea and my ears are still blaring. I also have that "diet pill" feeling like im on speed.
I am convinced this is where i will be. I cant imagine that suddenly im going to start feeling better. THere is either something else wrong, or im just one of those people that were not cut out for thyroid disease.
I forgot also please post your latest labs including Free t3
Zumba is both physical and emotional just look at the commercials i think it can help you Bruce. also meditation and test for lead poisoning
