I don't understand the different types of thyroid meds or their relationship to the other meds I take.
I will check out that site. Thanks Catherine. My currant dose is 125. mc and I am too depressed for words. At least the doctor and T are looking into this issue.

Calista,
Here is a link for general information about it
http://www.medicinenet.com/levothyro...al/article.htm
and the site I gave you before has excellent information...it's written in "plain English."
It will help you be your own advocate whenever you see your physician again.
I'm glad you have having a blood panel done soon...
What level is showing as being high?
After surgical removal of the thyroid, it sometimes takes a bit of time to get your levels balanced...
Best wishes for a swift resolution, Calista
In Peace
