been on 75mcg levo for four months now. my labs from six weeks back looked good for the first time - TSH settled, free T3 stopped crashing. but this past two weeks, it came back: hands ice cold, then brain fog hits about an hour later, then a full 48-hour crash where i can’t function.
my doc wants to wait til the 8-week mark for the next labs. i get it - you’re not supposed to chase every dip. but when i’m logging this stuff, the pattern is too obvious at two weeks to just ignore.
so when does “my symptoms shifted” actually get you an earlier retest, versus just waiting it out? has anyone pushed back on the timeline before, or do you mostly ride it out and hope the labs catch up to how you feel?
fwiw.
