Well, I had my appt. yesterday with my endo. My TSH was 2.89 and she wants it down closer to 2.0.

She has increased my levoxyl to 44mcg daily to see if that will help relieve my symptoms of weight gain and constipation.

I will be tested in 2 months and see how it is doing. My T uptake was right on the border of 30 where normal is 30-39.

I am also going to be scheduled for an adrenal stim test to see if my adrenals are able to recover from stress.

Hopefully my new dose will help my symptoms as I tried to put on a pair of capri's today and they wouldn't fit!
