I have been having problems getting my thyriod equalled out again after a newbie dr misread a test about a year ago. My dr has been upping my dose until recently it came back high. She lowered me back to the previous dose and I felt worse than before! She said that I may be one of those who need a little bit extra to feel good. I've had Hashimoto's since ds2 was born in 1991 and my thyroid was attacked by toxins released when my appendix ruptured when I was 30 wks pregnant. This is the first time I've felt better about my thyroid issues in a while. Has anyone else experienced this?
I have always felt better when my thyroid was a bit/borderline high. At first my doc was a bit nervous about it being a little to high but then later said that it was fine and it shouldnt hurt me as long as I feel good. When I get older (like 40's-50's) is more when you have to be careful about not letting it get to high because it can lead to other problems. But I think your body tells you whats best for you and if you feel better when its a bit high then thats what you need. Blood test are also not always perfectly acurate.
I too feel better when I'm borderlined or high. Like catJ said, my doctor too said it was ok as long as I felt ok. I hate when doctors say my meds are ok when I'm on the low side, even though I'm in the "normal range".
Grrrrr to doctors that don't understand!!
has anyone else had this experience? 
Good Luck!
