Default thyroid results are back!

Hi everybody!
I've got my thyroid results back, I had lowered my dosage from 200 mcg until March to 150mcg until May and then to 125mcg until now.

Here are the results:
........................FT3............FT4............TSH
normal range......(2.0-4.4)......(9.0-17.0)...(0.4-2.5)
02/08/06 200mcg...1.2...........12.0.......... <0.01
05/31/06 150mcg...1.4...........12.7............0.04
08/02/06 125mcg...1.4...........13.0............0.06


It seems like my thyroid is really waking up now, huh? Even with taking less T4 (levothyroxine) my free T4 has gone UP, yahoo!!! And
my TSH seems to be waking up too (thyroid stimulating hormone, produced by the pituitary gland). The T3 is still too low though but with working on my metabolism by doing TSP this hopefully will get better too. This is exactly how she describes in the Transition book, the low T3 seems to be because of a lifestyle based endocrine disorder. But I will get it back into balance, ha!

My doctor and I agreed, that I will lower my dosage again to 100 mcg
now (when we are back from the cruise) and then test it again at the end of October this year.
