Hi Cherise, First let me say that I think you have a beautiful name. Yes, I reacted immediately to each new level of meds and after less than a week began to feel hypo again. My doctor did not believe me--despite acknowledging overt symptoms like yellowish skin, dry hair, etc. I have a rather long, complicated story because during that time while I was trying to find a doctor who believed me (lucky you) I was put on HRT. I reacted very badly to it and quit taking it after four months. This really messed me up ---menopause and thyroid. I switched to ARmour (although back again to synthroid for a short while) and it helped but I still am not really ok. I feel part of this is vestiges of menopause. In short, I'm not really where I want to be but am just buying time until I'm a bit more past these meno symptms since they mimic thyroid so much. Eventually I want to go in and have a battery of tests such as all the thyroid that are not typically run (TRH, free T3) and test for adrenal problems, etc. I'm compiling a list of notes from this mailing list and the thyroid newsgroup. I'm very interested in the fact that you see doctors at a university medical school and they are willing to let you work with your meds. That is so atypical of the paternalistc, dogmatic approach most of us experience with endos. I have been unable to find an endo who will work with me. I'm seeing a g.p. I like her but would prefer to see an endo. Let us know how you are doing now. Do you want to say what med school? Zee
