I hope you are starting to feel better?
Was this an endo or what?

I am starting to feel better. I cut my dose from 5 mg to 2.5 mg and am wondering if it's now just a bit too low of a dose. I'm going to play around with taking a full dose every other day/every two days. My original TSH was .135 when they first spotted the problem. After about five weeks on the antithyroid drug, my TSH was up to 3. The doc would like to find a happier medium than that, as 3 is borderline hypo. Still, 3 was better than the alternative. She's also hopeful that because my case is mild and I'm able to tolerate the drug that we can bring it into remission. That generally takes a year or two, however.

My eyes, while very dry some days, are not showing any signs yet of disease. I'm keeping my fingers crossed with that aspect of things. For as mild of a case I have, I'm hopeful.
