Hi,

This is EXACTLY the pattern I experienced.  I felt and incredible difference
overnight, literally.  After a couple of weeks the effects diminished.  With
each successive dose on the path to my correct dose this pattern repeated
itself.  My doctor would never bring me to an optimum dose where the fatigue
did not creep back in because I tested "normal."  Eventually I changed
doctors and changed to ARmour.  I do much better on that.

It is interesting that doctors are so adamant in their wrongheadedness.
 Rather than say they are not familiar with such a symptom, pattern or
whatever they say "No way."  No wonder they loose credibility with their
patients,
