Why are all these things happening? Had Hashimotos (diagnosed) for 5 years & more and more things are going out of sync in my body.

Hello to everyone, I have posted on here a few times previously and can only give a huge thanks to all of you on here, as without this means of support and information I would feel really alone. It seems as though my health is spiralling downwards as I have developed Fibro, Raynauds, hypotension &asthma since my Hashimotos started. Now after the annual mot at the docs I have to have a glucose tolerance test cos my level came back high,my liver enzymes are higher than normal & I have to have my white blood cells repeated cos they were high too. I am not overweight and do not drink much. I feel like everything is going down I am 54 female & the nurse said my heart was the age of a 63 year old.

I have stopped eating gluten as I was having terrible stomach problems for years and have been amazingly better.Thankyou again for this most supportive group.

When you say you had an MOT, i note the absence of any thyroid test results. Your dose may need to be adjusted

Hi, yes I think I need to get them from my doctor, I know my cholesterol was 6.6 but the nurse didn't tell me any others. I had a test at the endo a couple of months back and my TSH was1.0 -T3 1.4 -T4 17.8

You need to post the ranges also for the tests as they enable members to comment. Higher cholesterol is a clinical symptoms. You may need a TSH below 1 as the above symptoms sound hypo. Theoretically, you should not be getting more symptoms if you are on optimum medication.

Not what you're looking for?
