Yaaaaaaaaay.

I get to see my doctor tomorrow morning to talk about my thyroid blah. Apparently they prefer you to speak to someone if you're having problems, rather than just getting bloodwork. Which means another $20 copay tomorrow, plus the one for my exam in a month.

I'd say 3 migraines in 10 days when I'd had one or two in the previous 4 months is kind of significant, yeah. Never mind the tinnitus, eyebrows thinning, tiredness, or mucosal dryness.

I'm not sure how we're going to manage my dose, because a whole tablet is too much, and half isn't enough. I'm willing to play some of the tricks we play with warfarin, with a varying daily dose, if that'll help. Alternating half and whole will get me 19 mcg/day avg, while taking 4 halves and 3 wholes a week would be 18 mcg/day avg. I'll see what the labs show, I guess, and what the doctor suggests from there.

Sympathies from a fellow thyroid patient, hope it doesn't take a huge time to work out the proper dose for you! Things were a little wacky for me till I got mine settled.

How did that go?

I hope that they manage to figure out something better to help you manage symptoms. :/
