Was on 45 mcg one day 40 mcg the next t3 split into 3 doses.Was feeling awful and had bloods done TSH 2.92 t3 4.2. So went to 45 mcg a day.felt so hot in hands neck and feet felt faint all the time and surreal.Pain worse.So down to 40 mcg a day ,pounding heart , short of breath when moving around and pain still so bad ,never had pain like this ,but pain is same type as when I needed to raise and it would go.Nothing seems to be working now ,terrified.

Hi Susie,

Looking back at your previous posts, you've been having problems for some time.

Have you seen a sympathetic Endo? It seems unusual that your TSH is that high, despite your dose/s of T3.

Of course it's possible that it's something else that's going on that's not thyroid related. Sorry I can't help as my knowledge isn't extensive enough.

I hope you find answers - sounds very frustrating.
