Help on 125mg Levothyroxine?

[Kens]

Please, please could someone give me advice? I am a 55 year old women from Belfast, NI who is currently on 125mg Levothyroxine prescribed by GP. My symptoms have only gotten worse. Have now been diagnosed with sleep apoena, fall asleep during the day, no energy. Have put on 3 stone even though I go to gym, walk my dog everyday and eat very healthy but cannot loose 1 pound. My doctor just keeps prescribing me more and more tablets for different ailments. I have also been diagnosed with gastric problems, been put back on HRT again for hot flushes, mood swings etc. My memory is getting worse. I am also experiencing depression now. When my GP tests my T4 levels he says they are within normal range, so why do I feel so ill? I am totally frustrated!!! I feel all my additional ailments are a result of my thyroid not working properly?

I have been doing my research and am very interested in NDT Armour, but don't know how to go about getting it or administering it. Does anyone know any good doctors in Northern Ireland who would be sympathetic to my plight and would try me on Armour and monitor my T4 and T3 levels? I am willing to go private.

Please I am at my wits end and am desperate!

Would appreciate any help or information.

Thanks Rhonda Stevenson
