Very Gratefull
For 17 yr's i was on Levothyroxine 75 mg. One month ago i went into the office
and he told me TCH i guess that's what it's called, was too high so he knocked
my med's down too 50mcg. one week later i started almost blacking out,
eating like a vulture on the prowl after the dead, i never could get enought.
Even so when i did eat it hurt worst or i would go too sleep. I had NO umph
for anything. My boy friend starting freaking out along with my family.
Everyone looked at my thyroid med's were doing it. So i went back to the
Dr's and he took me off of them 3 days ago and i'm doing fine. My blood pressure
med's did the same thing and he lower it, for some reason i was losing my high
blood pressure. For the last 10 yr's i've had acid reflux in the thoat and stomach
i have been put on omerprazole and i take ranitine at night doing great. Here's my question
how can my thyroid just start working again blood pressure every since i was little change like this.

Well I agree - congrats on your current situation. It is very uncommon but a thryoid can regenerate certain tissue to make it work. I did a little reading on this and again very uncommon. Also a remission process can happen - so you may be experiencing remission at this time.
It is called a TSH and you will need to follow this closely along with your doctor. I hope for the first 6 months you get checked every 6 weeks. If the number are still stabilized and you are doing fine - then a check every 6 months - then one a year.
Good Luck
