Weird symptoms

Not sure if this has to do with what I ate or the supplements but I had watermelon and banana smoothie and a cashiew and date lara bar last night as well as upping my supplements and had the worst night. Burning and poking sensations as well waking up quite a bit and had a dream the a wasp landed on my right lower abdomen and stung me but I got zapped instead.

These seem like have more to do with blood sugar issues and nerve issues and not thyroid issues but thought I’d throw it out there and see if anyone has had similar issues.

I did talk with the functional med doctor and he said the constant waking up has to do with all the fruit (sugar) and that it was messing with my liver. No more fruit for me at night :(.

Also hope to get labs back by the end of this week to see how my thyroid is doing with all the supplements.

Banana, watermelon, date - these are very sugary choices so definitely cut it down.

Thanks Kari, do you think that could be causing excess dandruff and itchiness? The extra sugar from fruit?

I have no idea if I’m honest but sugar is a nasty thing!

My spots have cleared after I stopped eating chocolate, bread and pasta. I occasionally use a little bit of honey or maple syrup. I always had problematic skin on my face and I still can’t believe when I look in the mirror. :)

Wow thats amazing. Did you figure this out on your own or through a allergy test? Was it like eczema or seborrheic dermatitus?

I hear ya, it sucks when its more visible. So glad its all cleared up for you!

I have never done an allergy test. I used to break in spots since I was a teenager. In Feb, after my husband got diagnosed with Graves, we have both really cleaned up our diet and my skin just cleared up.
