Update Overstimulation
This is the form you'll use to update any time when you believe that you're overstimulated (your thyroid dose is too high). It's designed to calculate your amount of T4, T3 or both, and enable you to document any symptoms you've experienced. Most of the likely symptoms of overstimulation are presented to you but if you have others, you can enter them in the notes.
One of the biggest challenges you'll face as a thyroid patient is conveying your state of health to your healthcare providers. Most often, you'll find yourself UNDERdosed due to the tendency of doctors using the TSH results as a guide for dosing. However, if you can document that you're doing well on your current dose, you might be able to persuade your doctor to maintain that dose, or even raise it to see if some more symptoms will resolve. Keep in mind that the number 1 concern of your doctor is LIABILITY.
