May 17th, 2010
I began having extreme bowel problems, diarreah and the like. Extreme mood swings. Tested out the ying yang for bowel problems. After months of negative tests they finally had TSH tested. Turns out my thyroid medication was too high even though I had been taking that dosage for several years. I'm now on 125mcg down from 150 mcg. After 2 weeks TSH went from .01 to .1.

So how long before my thyroid evens out and I return to something akin to normal digestive, bowel, and mood? What would be a reasonable normal besides just barely within normal ranges? Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks
