Thyroid Disease.

[Mohne]

I have had thyroid disease for many years and take I take 150mgms of thyroxine a day.

I recently had a blood test and the TSH (I think that is wot they call it ) came back high.

Do I reduce my dose of thyroxine or lower it? My doctor seems a bit confused about it.

[Mohne]

Sorry should have read "reduce my dose of thyroxine or raise it"

Please excuse me as it is my first time on and I am so nervous.......any help would be appreciated.

Sqad...as you well know,anyone on prescribed drugs should not increase or decrease their dose without advice from a doctor.If one doctor gives bad advice then see another.

why not consult your massive head for an answer?

[Mohne]

daffy....thank you, but who is "sqad?"
.
My Dr. is confused and I don't want to waste other Dr's time as this pig flu is takin up all thier time.

[Mohne]

cazz...head of what?

[cazzz1975]

why not rephase it to your doctor, without disagreeing with him of course...(it would have to be a male doctor)

[Mohne]

cazz...yes I know and they are lovely too, much better than those arrogant male Drs. Thank you ......can I call you cazz?

[Mohne]

cazzz....do you think that I should rephrase it or rephase it......I do value your opinion you know.

[cazzz1975]

male doctors are okay, just avoid people pretending to be doctors ;D

[Mohne]

cazz....so very, very true.

[cazzz1975]

feel free to correct my spelling, if it makes you feel better of course.

Mohne - the only way to tell what you need is to see your own - or another doctor. It's dangerous to make guesses and self -medicate with these type of things.
You won't be wasting anyone's time at all.

[Mohne]

Ice Maiden...thank you.

[daffy654]

Ice.Maiden..........this poster is sqad,he admitted as much on a thread in CB but for some reason he is now denying it and trying to wind everyone up.

[Ice.Maiden]

Oh....well I only pop on during the daytime to test my computer speed - if the damned thing can be bothered to work at all - and naive as I might've been, was just trying to help - because someone else might have the same prob, and messing about with thyroxine could be really dangerous.

[Mohne]

daffy....how dare you?....who is sqad that I keep mistaken for?

[daffy654]

Mohne/sqad,you admitted that you are sqad on the previous thread in CB ! Why are you trying to deny it now? Both cazzz and I saw you admit it which is why we answered you in this way.
Ice.Maiden,I know you were just trying to be helpful and I was just giving you a heads up,not being critical.x

[ummmm]

He's practising his bed side manner.

[Mohne]

daffy....I admitted it cus everyone talked about sqad...who is he?
