Hi there, 

I have no thyroid function, and I've learnt NOT to rely on the lab results.
Each person is different. I for instance thrive on a high dosage of T3. 
You have to ask yourself what dosage makes you feel good and stick to that. 

Warm regards,

Andre

My Greetings to All Listers

ATT.: Doctor Don:

I am a 75 year old -male- retiree, In May 2003 my thyroid gland was totally
removed- succesfully-, due to a bening tumor. Since the, my
(Lady) Endocrinologist has been chenging my Synthroid dosis- up or
down- in order to reach the minimum TSH range of .3 . For the last three (3)
months I have been tanking Synthroid dosis of 137 -mcg from Monday thru
Saturday and on Sunday 150 mcg. My last TSH lab test
result- Special Chemistry on June 12, 2008 was 0.064 ulU/ML with Normal
Range 0.350  5.50 (I assumed for patients with thyroid glands). My question
is what is the best minimum range for patients with the thyroid gland
removed?Thanks in advance for your comments, KEEP UP THE GOOd    D WORK
EDUCATING US.
