Fluctuating thyroid levels?

  • Hello everyone –

    Have any of you other 40-somethings had issues with wildly fluctuating thyroid levels? For the last 8 months, I’ve been having blood drawn every 4-6 weeks with my thyroid prescription getting adjusted every time. My Levothroid pills have ranged anywhere from 100mcg’s to 150mcg’s during this time. I don’t know whether this is an age thing, per-menopausal issue, or just my wacky body.

    I know the next step should be to see an Endocrinologist. Just curious to know if anyone else is experiencing this and if so, have you received any answers about cause.
  • What a PITA. I can't say it has happened to me (I can't remember the last time my dosage got changed) - but I can imagine how frustrating it must be.

    getting it figured out.
