I wrote about my thyroid medication experiment here and here.
It’s been 8 weeks since I started waiting a full hour before eating or drinking anything more than water after taking my Levoxyl. Wednesday I went to Quest to get my blood work done and waiting patiently for the report.
The range is .4 to 4.50 with the lower number “better” than the higher number. My TSH level went from 1.7 in July to .47. Amazing! I have never seen my results that low before.
I said I felt more energy since I started the experiment and that feeling continues. Nothing near jittery though which would mean I was leaning towards hyperthyroid instead of hypothyroid, and sluggish.
I’ll send my doctor a message through the portal because to be on the safe side, I’d like to get tested every three months to make sure it doesn’t drop much lower because that could be trouble too! Ugh, so much to regulate a body right? If it levels out or drops lower, I might be able to back off to 50mcg which I haven’t been on in a long time.
I was surprised by the results but sadly, no change in my weight!
