Actually, I do have a baseline thyroid from April, although that was on 50 Synthroid, which I have been on for at least 9 months. I think he wants to re-check in two months just to make sure I get back to normal on the T3. I'm not sure he understood why I was requesting the Cytomel in the first place, which may be why he yanked it instead of lowering it.
When you mention rapid cycling...are you talking about rapid cycling of mood or of thyroid hormones? I do not have cycling moods. Rather, I have atypical depression, which means depressed, but with emotional reactivity...i.e. I can still laugh at funny things, have happy times, be sad due to situational factors, etc. But baseline mood is depressed, and there are more vegetative signs (excessive sleep or eating and leaden "paralysis"), and rejection sensitivity.
I read through your prior posts and they were helpful. Thanks again.
Take care,
