Diagnoised with Graves’ disease almost 5 yrs ago had RAI went on levothyroxine . Because my get up and go has gone I have been exploring the net for self help ways to improve my health .
Main problems are overwhelming fatigue, ache all over feel like 90 yr old instead 60 yr old , have lots hot flushes , palpitations are getting worse despite being on beta blockers have put two stone in weight on . All my blood results are fine .
Have a very nice GP but he does not appear to know much about Graves’ disease . He asked for more information when I asked if there were any othe medication that may help. I posted information from the lancet Anita how some do not get on with Levo and waiting to hear back . Reluctant to make an app as do not have much faith.
Have been looking to go private but have yet to find a good dr in the south west England . Hoping to have the Have a test to rule out a genetic reason .
Feel like just ordering T3 but concerned about safety .
Is there anyone who knows where you can order T 3 as I feel at least it would be worth a try . I am aware it is not just a matter of popping a pill that thaw right strength is important to get the balance .
Must add was on 100mcgs Levo cut it down to 75mgs to see if it improves my symptoms .
I am semi retired love my work two days a week but find I need to rest on my days off .
Feel there must be a way I can improve my symptoms . Must add all my bloods are normal they refused to check T 3 .
Would appreciate any wise words or contacts .
Kind regards Annie
