Re. Thyroid antibodies, I don't recall, but standard thyroid panels are always negative. Well, except when I once specifically asked for FREE T3 and then my doc was stunned to see that low, when TSH was "normal." I couldn't tolerate any hormone replacement, though.
With the recent week on Equilibrant, no fever, just a worsening of my usual flu-like malaise and unbearable restless fatigue and insomnia. For me I'm sure a bit of fever would be a good thing, and I'd bear with it.
Re. Milligram scale, I once looked into buying an apothecary scale but they all seemed prohibitively expensive. Any recommendations? Would be nice to be able to be more precise in cutting other meds too. I always want to use the absolute smallest effective dose of certain ones that have particularly problematic side effects.
Good to hear your experience on the uphill side of things!
