I am a RN on a cardiac unit at a local hospital.  MY TSH is 45.6.  My endo
started me on 125 mcg T4.  He says it is safe to return to wok after I have
been on the T4 for 1 week.  It has been 1 week.  I still feel foggy.  I
can't spell and I am very forgetful.  I don't think I am safe taking care of
patients but I can find no research on this subject.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Jennifer G.
