Huh, those numbers could fit perfectly for T3's values instead of T4 ones. They must. Then your doctors stand correct. You were hyper and this is why they reduced your Synthroid.

And they are right... I know the range is not wide. But higher or lower than that and i feel bad. The half-life of T4 is very long. So you may feel better after 4 or 5 days you began your new dose.
I have 2 tests a year. Sometimes my dose vary. Oh, and check your pulse. A pulse of an "untrained" but healthy person is between 66 and 72 bpm.
I hope it is clearer now. Bye.
