Do TSH home monitors exist?
Posted , 6 users are following.
I've been a Ginny pig on levothyroxin and it's just not helping! I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's disease last year and I've never felt right since I've started the synthetic hormone. They started me on 100mcg and then, jumped me up to 150! I was being overdosed and the dr would not listen to me! My symptoms were text book! Then, I was told to alternate 150 and 137. That didn't help at all! Then, I was told to just take 137, still too high! Now, I'm currently on 125 and I still feel terrible! Is anyone else experiencing this?!?

But I was fortunate enough to know a doctor. We did labs and confirmed what I already knew. I also discovered that, that was how my daughter had become mentally challenged. I'm so tired.

Hi Sarah, sorry to hear you are suffering. It does sound like you are being over medicated but could you post the results of you bloods? that will give us a good indication. Usually doses are increments of 25 mcg i.e. 50 75 100 etc... just wondering how on earth you split it to 137 ?? Could you take less youself and give GP feedback? you bloods should be taken frequent whilst monitoring medication.
Regards.
