I see my endo on Friday and I know she's going to up my dose to 150mg of Levo.
For the last couple of days I've been having like head rushes. Is this connected? I have a constant mega headache as well.
I'm soooo tired. I'm sooo angry. I'm being mean and I can't help it. I literally can't be bothered to do anything. I'm just a big fatigued miserable old bat right now! Roll on Friday before my family give up on me!
I'm getting my bloods done in the morning and will post results 2moro night.
The head rushes are worrying me a bit....

Probably gone down a bit more since November too. On the bright side, come Friday hopefully you'll have an increase in levo (there's loads of wriggle room for T3 too) and hopefully some blood tests to get done.
I get Jarrow's Methylcocabalamin 5000mcg lozenges for my husband. I take the odd one but I respond better to injections every other week, also I was started on injections 11 years ago so it make sense to me to continue with them.
No, I know, I get a lot of dizziness, myself. Sometimes for no reason. They're better now I'm taking a decent dose of thyroid hormone replacement, and B12, but I still get them from time to time.
Got absolutely no help from the medical profession, they just hadn't a clue! They gave me tablets marked 'for dizzy spells of unknown origin - warning, may cause dizzy spells'! But nobody ever tried to find the origin. And I did the rounds of the specialists, consulting every one I could think of. No joy whatsoever!
No, you should get your B12 tested, along with your vit D, folate and ferritin. It's very important, for several reasons, to get tested before taking anything.
I got antibodies about 5 years after hypo diagnosis. I went right off and only improved when B12, Vit D etc were at high levels. I occasionally get "dizzy does" not a room spinning round but a sensation of walking on a mattress. Your mental condition is deffo affected by hypo and Ab's, can be very up and down. I found going gluten free helped a lot and also went lacto free which also helped. Hope things improve for you. Don't accept a "normal diagnosis from the doc. get your actual test results!
Hypo and Hashi's is never good news it impacts more than you think. Also there are knock on affects with adrenals especially if you have a stressful job/lifestyle. You may want to read up on Adrenals- James L Wilson- Adrenal Fatigue, 21st century syndrome.
Pleased to hear that you are already feeling better with gluten free diet. My TPO's reduced massively in 6 months. Unfortunately most GP's /endos say there is no treatment for Hashi's!! I found it is very important that they do not go by TSH reading alone. Mine has to be well below one and stlll my T4 and T3 are low in range so I am trying to decide what to do next, probably add in some T3 to my levo dose. Thank heavens for private blood tests, I can monitor my condition myself and take control.
