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.

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).
