   adrenal fatigue?? Pregnancy (Addison's Disease board)

19th January 2007
I'm currently on 75mcg of levoxyl. My TSH really isn't helpful since it's never been out of range high, unless you take into consideration the new **** criteria of 3.0. The highest my TSH has ever been is 3.75. My antibodies however are extremely high and I have a goiter; that coupled with a strong family history and in the presence of symptoms is why they started treatment.

I've come to realize that the TSH level is a really bad indicator of symptoms (my SIL has a VERY high TSH but has never been symptomatic in her life...her mom is a nurse and noticed her thyroid was enlarged...they put her on meds immediately).

LOL, I'd absolutely love to get rid of my endo but that would leave me without options...or rather with very expensive options that I can't afford at this time.

I can live with feeling sub-par but if things became severe again we would make it more of a financial priority. Unfortunately it just has to be that way right now (midwife to pay, orthodontia for my daughter, winter tax bill due...and all before April:rolleyes: ).

So that's why I'm kind of looking into some reputable OTC supplements for now.
