I can really tell when my thyroid hormone takes another drop and it's time to up the dose. Good luck with your script! Hope you feel better soon!

There are many patient blogs by people who think their dose is too low. I have no opinion as to whether they are correct, whether something else is going on, or some combination. The accepted medical view is that so-called adrenal exhaustion is a lot of woo. Because of all the blogs, it's just about impossible to find out if there are any accepted research into dosage. I did find out that my autoimmune RA factor may flumox some TSH lab work. Apparently, I could get a false high or a false low.
