[QUOTE="goolapsh, post: 211246, member: 25046"] Yes I did. Everything was normal. Tsh was always between 1 and 2 before starting therapy. Never experienced hypo symptoms in my life. When I was placed on synthroid by this doctor my tsh was above 3 because of the high levels of test he had me on (and this was the first time I felt hypo but didn’t know at the time what to attribute the symptoms to until I had blood work confirming it). So he prescribed me synthroid. The dose was way too much because I remember feeling like complete shit so I reduced the dose on my own and the symptoms resolved. I had my tsh levels tested the following week after starting on the dose he prescribed, and my tsh was 0.3 with all my other thyroid markers in the red (hence why I felt like shit). Since stopping therapy I’ve taken several blood tests and I’ve seen a slow and steady rise in tsh which is expected, but now it’s approaching the 3 range again and I’m having hypo symptoms (waking up feeling chills, labored breathing, low energy, insomnia, etc.). I know it’s my thyroid now causing me these issues because since taking a small synthroid dose five days ago my symptoms are improving (it’s similar to the symptoms i had before) . Just goes to show though that both thyroid (to an extent but not the same as t) and test get shut down when supplementing. It was a nightmare of a protocol obviously and I’m still recovering six months later. If I decide to resume therapy I will learn from this obviously and stick to much smaller doses and choose a doctor who’s more conservative (and knowledgeable). [/QUOTE]
