I can not put to words, how helpful your advice to me.thank you very much.  I feel much better the  problem is papltation and my body aches also very tired at times,but since I stopped Lev my hair stopped falling out.

Will look forward to your posting the new levels.  Don't forget to post the reference ranges as well, since these vary lab to lab and must come from your own report.

How are you feeling?

Thank-you, I will send It as soon as I get It.

If it were me, I'd wait for the blood tests to see what's going on, before restarting medication.  It may take longer to get to the right levels, but it's not "too late"...

The situation with your knees will probably resolve once you get back on medication, but if you feel like you need an anti-inflammatory, you could try an OTC med for the time being. I have to, occasionally, as well.

Please post your next lab results, with reference ranges, as soon as you get them.  That will help immensely.

I had a blood test yesterday,and the result will come back next week. I just wonder shall I wait for a result or I start now Lev25mcq because I feel like hypo.and I am worried it might be too late If I waited for blood test.also do you think  Is It  a good idea if I ask my doctor antiflammtery medication for my swollen knees because i had this problem after RAI tretement and it still swollen.Any idea will be apprtciated. Thank you very much

Thanks very much.i just got your replay and thank-you again. I stopped Lev for 3 weeks,and the doctor said stop for a month then have a blood test after we tell you how much Lev you will take.but now I am feeling very cold especially my hands and feet.but still got palptations especially in the morninig. I had appiontement on 26th for blood test but changed it to 16th.shall i start taking Lev 25mcq before the result come.and if you are under active can u still get palptation.I had the blood test which i posted you almost a month ago.

Thanks
