Quick background - Diagnosed with sciatica and herniated disc in April, did physical therapy to recover until I started feeling sick in August and saw my tsh was a 36. The biggest problem I have is muscle fatigue in lower body.
Both generic brand levo and unithroid have seemed to make me feel significantly worse after taking it. Synthroid I've felt quite a bit better & stronger in certain stretches but inconsistent. Some stretches I REALLY thought I was getting better. I wonder if I'm having some kind of reaction to the medications.
Symptoms - muscle fatigue in legs/hips (get very sore after walking/sitting for more than a few minutes), muscle twitching, aches/pains in hips, general fatigue, numbness in face and forearms
I'm really at a loss, i just don't understand whats happening now that my thyroid labs look normal. Not really sure where to turn at this point. Neuro (brain mri normal), rheumatologist (ana speckled but tested negative for all specific diseases), endo all told me they can't help me anymore.
I'm tempted to try taking a small amount of t3 or ndt to rule that route out? Any suggestions? I'm open to anything really. I posted what i thought are relevant labs, but i've done a lot more if anyone has questions.
