Misbehaving thyroid

[Faniah]

Hi

I’ve been hypo for over 30 years and on 150mcg rising to 175mcg and then 200mcg due to fatigue but suddenly my TSH dropped to 0.02 and I had heart palpitations and fatigue.

Dr has reduced me in increments to now 125mcg daily.

My latest TSH is 0.04 (range 0.30 -5.00) and my free T3 is 4.5

(Range 3.10 - 6.80)

Dr says this is satisfactory but I’m not even in range for TSH?

I’m suffering from extreme fatigue still and wondering what’s going on?

I’m 52 and also going through the menopause.

Have your vitamins and iron etc been checked? One reason for fatigue is low Vismin D. Im checking this out myself (see recent post)

[Faniah in reply to Inaquandary]

Ferritin was very low but is now in range.

Bit B12 was ok but I don’t think Vit D was tested.

def test Vitamin D Mine was very low and I have been supplementing and feel much better. You may have to pay for the test, I did it was $35 here in Canada
