@katemn Thank you so much for your input. I believe your suggestion about the Endocrinologist is the very best thing I can do right now. I've done a lot or reading on thyroid physiology lately but still have no definitive answer. Interesting thing though, I was found in a basal metabolism test in 1957 to have very low metabolism and they gave be a small bottle of Armour thyroid (natural, desiccated, porcine). I took the 30 pills and never did another thing (never went to a doctor) for 33 years until 1990. As far as I can tell no harm was done by doing without meds. Then I had a blood test and they put me on Synthroid and it's been fine until my change to Nature-Throid. The point of that long story is this: if I could go 33 years without any thyroid meds and do fine, just how important can it be to jump through all kinds of hoops to make sure the numbers are where the statistical averages say they ought to be. I'm 80 years old, healthy as a horse except for infrequent A-fib and have so much energy I'm bouncing off the walls and feel better than I did when I was 40. Go figure.

@jimana, I might also add that my husband has Afib so I have done a bit of reading about it .. it is nothing to fool around with .. REALLY increases your risk of heart issues! Have you had it checked out? My husband has an excellent Cardiologist who put him on Eliquis 2.5mg-2x day due to the heart issue risks. Just a thought. Katherine

Thanks, Katherine. Yes, I have been checked out. I was in the ER on Dec 7 with serious A-Fib and my Flecianide was increased because of that event. And the electrocardiologist said I need to be on a blood thinner so I am on 2.5 MG Eliquis. Ironically, my wife and I wound up in the same ER, both for A-Fib on the SAME DAY.

@jimana, WOW! Attitude of gratitude! At least I don't have Afib! Perhaps other things .. but so far I can count that one out! That must have been scary! Katherine
