Doc said it was "Normal". I questioned hi. About feeling unwell still and basically we came to blows nearly, he said that thyroxine was the perfect thing as it was scientifically tested!! End of story, and I was " trying to find a reason for things, most people want to be well!" You seem to want something g wrong with you!!" I said I don't I just have felt unwell for 3 years now!! I have a tingles arm, why do I have to put up with it? " It's something that happens! Not a answer to evert thing "he said! " I said I have a cramp In My neck ( new symptom !)
He said witha shoulder shrug " it's just cramp" !!!! I could feel the steam coming out my ears!! He also said I didn't have a swelling on my neck!! My husband and my 3!!! Girls all can see it!! I'm soooo sick of them ruddy doctors!!! Honestly ! BUT he agreed to up my dose to 100 was 75 for last 2 years, and to prob shut me up he agreed a scan of my neck, So rant over, anyone have a opinion on my levels?? Thanks xx

So would that make my original symptoms come back? I def feel more tired , I'm ok when I get up drained in middle and then awake at bed time! I know it sounds like my adrenals. But what to do??? I didn't bother Doc about them!! He would have said. " nope no such thing as adrenal stress!"
If you don't have enough t4, you don't have anything to convert to t3, so yes I would say it would make you feel rough!
That pattern does sound like adrenal to me, but I don't know much as mine appear to be OK. You can do saliva testing and get adrenal support supplements. Someone who knows more would be best to answer details
Ah thanks for that HarryE, I have decided that I need to do my own investigations and will have to pay for some tests, going to def do cortisol one! If NHS won't help, then I will go it alone!!
Email louise.warvill@thyroiduk.org and ask for a copy of the article by Dr Toft, who was president of the British Thyroid Association and look at question 6. Give a copy of the whole article to your GP before your next appointment. The question is self-explanatory except ignore the last para as it is out of order but Lyn Mynott of Thyroiduk.org has written to him in this regard.
Ok I've read question 6. And I am not sure if I'm stupid but I don't know what it means??? shaws?? Can you let me know what point you mean?? Sorry but it all gets too much for me! All these levels mad stuff? Should my doctor be giving me this other tri iodothronine?? Is that why u pointed me to this. x
