If you're feeling a little amped up, you're probably making the right move.  If you go back to feeling hypo, you can always come back up by a few.

It is strange how time flies, when you feel better; maybe that's because you have energy to stay busy, which makes time go faster.  I find the same thing.

i feel pretty good. i think its a little high. though, sometimes  not sleeping well.  it might be slightly high.  so hopefully going down a ten will take that edge off. but overall. ok. normal except maybe a little amped up.  i know im sensitive to med.  i was looking over  older reports. at like 35 less in dose, i was  almost a 6 in tsh and  free t3  t4 were low. upped 35 in dose and now a little hyper so i think this is the right move .. anyway retest and endo apt. in August so we will soon see  and overall im not bad, it's funny how quickly the time flies by when you feel  pretty good. i remember counting the days when i was  extremely on the hypo side.  what a difference.  thanks,  Kevin
