Confused

[130396]

Oh I'm getting so confused!!! Haematologist said very rare for hydroxycarbamide to cause muscle pain.

She said it may be that I'm still undermedicated on my.thyroid meds as body needs good level of T3. All so complicated

130396, Members will advise whether you appear to be optimally medicated if you post your thyroid results with the lab ref ranges.

Have ferritin and vitD been checked? Low levels can cause musculoskeletal pain.

Hi Clutter

My last results were tsh 0.45 (0.45-4.67) T4 10.6(9-19) T3 4 (2.39-5.75)

Ferritin good

Vit D 108

130396, Your FT4 and FT3 are low in range so there is plenty of room for a dose increase which may improve symptoms, particularly musculoskeletal pain. A dose increase will lower your TSH and may suppress it which can be a problem if you have a GP fixated on keeping TSH within range. Ask your haemo to prescribe a dose increase or write to you your GP recommending that dose is increased.

I've already seen the Haematologist Clutter so won't now be able to ask her that.

She said she'd write to my dr and copy my endo in, though what she's going to write I don't know.

Thank you

I know that when I'm under medicated I always have muscle pain
