Hi all!

My blood tests have been coming back lately that I am receiving too much
synthroid.  I am having symptoms that I am not getting enough.  Today my
endo decided that we need to LOWER my dose.  I have been on .125 now she
wants to keep me on that - but take it only 6 days a week.

How can this be?  I had a TOTAL THYROIDECTOMY in July of '94.  For a
while I was on .15 (where I felt the best).  Then they dropped my dosage
down to .125.  They could never explain to me why I suddenly needed
less.  Then 2 years later, I need less again?   HOW???  There is no
thyroid tissue to be making hormones of it's own - along with what I
take.  I only take 1 pill a day.  What could be happing that my body
needs less and less?  I am extremely scared.  I have been a complete
wreck since I got the news this morning.  I feel like my body will
completely shut down.  My endo even tried to tell me that my symptoms
were from hyper.  (cold, memory loss, etc.)

I no longer have any faith in the healthcare system.  I am 30 and feel
like I will die (probably pretty slowly and miserably) from this.  Sorry
to sound like I am whining, but I can't believe this!!  I don't have any
where else to turn to and I am scared.
