I have been undergoing tons of tests as you know, and my hypo is out of control. I basically have no thyroid and they have increased me to 3-400 mcgs (every other day for each strength). BUT I want to see an endo after reading all the info on the web. My Aunt wants my absorbtion tested, she thinks there is something wrong.
When I was with the neuro he basically stated, there is no connection between hypothyroid and PN....soooooo....I won't be seeing him again since he doesn't seem to have time to keep up with the current research.
Don't you just wish there really was a Dr. House?

That is way too high a level of hormone replacement!
Even people who have their thyroids removed don't take those high doses.
Either you do not have the proteins in the blood to transport the hormone--- thyroid is protein bound
or you are taking it wrong. It needs to be taken on an empty stomach away from food. Food will inhibit and reduce absorption.
If you are low in zinc and selenium you will not convert T4 to T3.
Be advised that high dose thyroid hormone will lead to bone tear down and osteoporosis. This is very critical and becomes a serious problem as the patient ages.
I have NEVER seen doses like this in my 40 yrs of handling thyroid patients.
Something is not right here.
