Help me please!
Was on
synthroid
before then went to this bc of joint pain. So, thyroid went nuts after surgery on my foot in March and I was thrown on a bunch of diff meds. Now I'm back on WP thyroid. My problem: not sure I can handle the t3 in it. I keep shaking. TSH is 6.3, t4 0.98, t3 4.1.

Concerned about my low free T4 for testing
I have tried to talk my doctor and increasing my thyroid medication called
Synthroid
but she's afraid to increase it due to the fact that I have a history of afib that was taking care of two years ago in July I went to had a cardioversion..

synthroid
daily instead of alternating 50/75 every other day or i ask for 2 pills of cytomel a day to take one in the afternoon. What do you all think? And if i did the 2nd pill of cytomel a day do i need to reduce the
synthroid
?

NDT or Synthroid UK
Hi all, After my Total thyroidcetomy, I am on generic levothyroxine 200mcg. I feel dreadful and have put on 2 stone/10 kg in a few months. I'm tired all the time, depressed and have brain fog. I recently spoke to my endocrinologist but he refuses any other treatment apart from Levo. He only reduced

I'm struggling with a form of autoimmune hypothyroid disorder and I can't gain any weight, what is wrong with me?
Oh yeah and I used to take the thyroid medication which at a low dose 25 cut in half
synthroid
my thyroid would switch because of sensitivity from hypo to hyper I was diagnosed at 16. I didn't stop completely taking the medication till I was 19.

Battle with Doctors ..and Hypo problems
He thinks I may be the exception and have a problem with a 5.8 TSH and wants to give me
Synthroid
. I am planning to go to another doctor. Because the more books and research I read. This is not right. My tsh is high.. my free t3 is low. it can be a conversion of T4 to T3 problem.

Please help: Need help on which direction to take; post has labs.
At that time I had switched from Tirosint to 175 mcg of
Synthroid
only. The higher my dose of T4 alone, I would feel ...ok. My FT4 was high but over six weeks it had dropped to the middle/high-low of the range and my FT3 was actually doing pretty well comparatively speaking.

I think I'm allergic to Synthroid ... Not sure what to do next
She wouldn't agree to changing the dose, but agreed that I may be having a reaction to
Synthroid
so gave me a prescription stating that it wasn't to be
Synthroid
to see if that improved things.

Ordering Synthroid from New Zealand
Hi Everyone, I placed an order yesterday for
Synthroid
from New Zealand and the order confirmation came through and said that I can either take the form to my bank or to my favourite money transfer service. On the form is specifically asks to send the payment in GBP and 'not to convert'.

dessicated thyroid is not working
It doesn't seem to matter if I am on
Synthroid
or NDT. I feel so tired and zombie like after I take thyroid medicine. I can feel the fatigue kick in about a half hour after taking it. What could be causing this? Has anyone else had issues with fatigue and becoming ill after taking a thyroid dose?
