I have hashimotos and I’ve been on Synthroid for about two months now. I would appreciate any help in regards to my numbers.
TSH 2.53 (0.40-4.50)
TPO AB >900
T3 Uptake 33% (22-35%)
T4 8.9mcg (4.5-12.0)
TFI 2.9 (1.4-3.8)
Folate 12.1 (Normal >5.4)
B12 - 545pg (200-1100)
Tested negative for Celiac.
Vitamin D was low so my doctor advised to take 2000 daily.
A little background here. I am a 40 year old male that used to have an active lifestyle. I started having severe panic attacks at work followed by severe fatigue and muscle weakness. To the point where I have had to be out of work. My TSH before I started synthroid was between 4.58 and 6.00. The synthroid didn’t seem to help whatsoever and the only thing that has somewhat helped so far is anxiety medication that I was reluctant to try. I am at my wits end and refuse to believe someone that never really had anxiety before now gets jolts of anxiety just from everyday sounds.
Would natural thyroid help? Synthetic T3? Help!
