Having some strange symptoms lately. Head pressure and neck stiffness. Just not feeling right. Had lots of tests over the past year. MRI of both head and neck showing nothing but some arthritis in my neck. I do have Hashimotis/ hypothyroidism and take synthroid for that. My blood work is showing my numbers are off.
I am hoping that by getting the number right I will feel better. But these feelings are causing a lot of anxiety about thinking something is really wrong with me. Just looking for others that can relate.
Thanks

2 or 3 is too high for someone on thyroid hormone replacement. Most people feel better when the TSH is under one. It's not about getting the numbers right, anyway. There is no magic number at which you will automatically feel well. It's about increasing your thyroid hormone replacement until you feel well, no matter what the numbers are. So, what are you taking, and how much?
I've recently had an uncomfortable neck and felt a bit wobbly. I was getting a bit worried about it as you are. Like you I have hashi's and hypothyroidism.
I went to my doctor, but also took myself off to the osteopath who said my neck muscles were very taut. He worked on my neck and within a couple of days my balance improved. Seems odd, but there must be some connection there.
It's early days, but I'll be going back again to make sure it continues to improve.
TSH of 14 is likely to make you feel very ill. Think of the medication as being the oil in an engine. If you don't put enough in,you seize up. You probably need a raise in dose and if that doesn't work then try NDT. Once diagnosed, your TSH should be 1 or less ideally. Doctors often think it's OK to be within range but ranges are broad.

Most dentists scoff at this because of their training and they're afraid of lawsuits.

I have been dizzy with a feeling of pressure in my ears, a headache, tinnitus and random shooting pains in my head for several months now. I have Hashi's and feel rubbish a lot of the time too with fatigue, aches and pains and brain fog. My blood tests are within normal range according to my GP but the lovely well informed people on here say I need b12 iron and an increase in my Levo. GP has referred me to a rheumatologist. No Levo increase.
Has also given me ante dizzy tablets and ante depressants. Haven't taken any of either of them.
Have arranged some counselling and trying to learn meditation. Am also taking b12 and iron plus selenium, b complex and vit c
The feeling in my head is horrible and sometimes seems to get suddenly worse, like flicking a switch. Hoping it will go soon. Have also had the Epley manoeuvre but don't think it has done anything!

"Hyperthyroid?"… "Hypothyroid?"
IS IT HASHIMOTO'S THYROIDITIS?
