About two weeks ago I had a follow up appointment with the doctor. I did a retest of my TSH levels as well as testing a couple of other things related to the thyroid. I suspected that the dosage of medication I was on wasn't right. I was still feeling tired more than a normal person should. I also hadn't lost much weight maybe 3-4 lbs. However, my clothes were starting to fit a little better.
When I met with my doctor, my suspicions became reality. They started me on the lowest dose which didn't make much progress in the 2 months I had been taking it. My TSH levels started around a 5.2 and had only dropped to about 4.5 in 2 months. My doctor informed me that she would like to see that number at a 2. So she upped my prescription from 50 mcg to 75 mcg and I have to retest around the end of January.
With that being said, I am feeling a little less tired than before. I've been on the higher dose for about two weeks now and my measurements seem to be going down. I haven't had them taken and will probably wait until after Thanksgiving haha! I've also started working with my trainer for an hour every Friday. He paired me up with another woman who has thyroid problems and he works us pretty hard every week.
