Well, my endo upped my Tapazole dosage from 20 mg/day
to 25 mg/day. If you remember, I have been feeling
horrible again for a little over a week (like I felt
before I started anti-thyroid meds). Today I felt
much better. Could an increase of 5 mg really make
that much difference on the first day of the increased
dosage or do you think it is purely a mental thing?

OK, so I am replying to my own message. I have
been on the 5 mg increase of Tapazole now for 4 days
and all I can say is that it is now making me feel
more sluggish, I feel sleep deprived (even though
I get 8 hours a night)…it is the complete opposite
of how I felt last week with my pre-med symptoms.
HELP!!!! I am having such a hard time reading
my body and deciding if it is the meds talking or
just my completely stressful life as it is. I
suppose I should say something to my endo…

I changed meds 7 wks ago to the natural thyroid. My TSH in Aug. was 2.9
5 days ago it was 0.03. My question is if you have TED and it is getting
better,will this make it flare up again?
p.s. my endo decressed my dosage

So I orderd them over the internet , I’m not happy about this but don’t know what else to do . What is the difrance between mg and mcg? I take .15 mg and the ones I orderd are .50 mcg ?

Call a pharmacist for help. They can try to make the translation. But I suspect that there might be some difficulty. And make an appointment for bloodwork so that your doctor will write you the Rx you need.
