Thyroid update, and THANK YOU
Thank you once again to everyone who replied to my earlier post with info and advice.
The Angel had been feeling extremely exhausted lately, and was able to see his doctor and get a referral to an endrocronologist (yeah, that is likely spelled wrong, sorry).
She was able to see him the next day! Timing was amazing. She got out a calculator, and was able to do some math based on his last TSH level and body weight... and the 200 MCG is still likely too low, he may need 260.
She also determined that they were not testing for his T3 levels, just T4 and TSH. So she is requesting a full battery of tests. She suspects this his levels are not good and wants to see the results before changing medication.
This is GOOD. I really want him to not feel exhausted all the time, I think it makes everything else in his life so much worse.
You guys were all a huge help, and it was good for him to know he is not alone in all this. THANK YOU.
