Hashis flare

[Mauds]

Hi I went hyper about 7 weeks ago. Symptoms tremor weight loss anxiety exausted not being able to sleep no appetite and hot flushes was on 125 eltroxin. Doc reduced me to 125/100 alternate days. Had started to feel better but the past week can't sleep internal tremor rapid heart and anxiety went back to doc today was put on propronal and told to reduce to 75/100 alternate days. Should I adjust the dose before I get results of bloods which I wont get till next Wed or wait until I see what's happening. Thanks

Hi Mauds,

If you feel over medicated reduce the dose now. It's a pity you didn't just try reducing dose yourself because if it is a Hashi flare you will need Eltroxin dose increased when it subsides.

Are you gluten-free?

I am gluten free clutter I'm wondering if the nuclear scan I had after I first felt overmedicated made things worse I'll not take any eltroxin tomorrow and then reduce dose thanks for replying

If you have Hashimoto's (diagnoses by testing TPO and IGA antibodies), you could benefit from cutting out gluten, which can mimic thyroid antibodies and cause a flare.

I was diagnosed with hashis around 4 year ago I'm also diagnosed coeliac gluten free around 3 year
