@apriljeff I understand your reluctance to taking a new medication. I think many people are, including me. I had it take a new one last night and I sure didn’t want to. But, I looked at myself in the mirror and said, “you’ve been through so much already, yes you can take the pill.” I have to rely on the strength and knowledge of my doctor, and she’s an excellent one. I took the pill and nothing bad happened! So I’ll take another tonight,
You have been dealing with this for 5 years and you haven’t quit. That’s a real testament to how strong you are! Your doctors only want you to get better, so try what they recommend. (The dose is 75mcg, not 75mg, a HUGE difference). What’s the worst thing that could happen when you take the pill(s)?

I honestly cannot give you a logical answer for why I don't want the pills. I think it has to do with once you start taking levothyroxine, you will have to continue taking it for the rest of your life. My be it has to do with me thinking my tsh isn't too high to start on medication.
