Hey everyone,
I am trying to stay as patient as possible, but today I have hit too many symptoms and need to rant, and need your advice, please...
If you look at my previous post, it states my bloods on Levo for 4 weeks. Some of my symptoms went away, but I got a bunch of new hypo ones too (and they seem to be getting worse day by day now):
Light sleep, can't get up early in the morning the last 10 days
Pins needles, water retention (weight stay same, but it seems I get a lot of water I see now cellulite even on my forearms)
Stiff legs and now arms and neck
Feels like I'm getting choked sometimes by my thyroid
My right legs is vibrating (always a sign of hormonal imbalance for me)
BBT temps are down now, between 36.2 - 36.4 now, this is within 10 days before ovulation
Indigestion...betaine hcl is helping still a bit, but anytime I eat protein, it sits there. Some days my bowel movements are a few times a day, and some none!
Hot sweats woke me up at night few times
Nails are splitting and are a bit brittle, can see vertical lines on them
Pains in my hands and wrists at night sometimes
What is better: I'm not spaced out, have more stable energy (but can't exercise), moods are alright, flat, but stable, I don't cry anymore (unless today, when I feel really bad) , pulse still 66 (not sure that's good or not), falling asleep, minimum anxiety, feeling more like myself , skin seems moist at most times
What I did was, according to Helvellas table, added some t4, which averages to 6.25 more a day (so instead of 150 I take now 156.25) for almost a week. Could it be that because my tsh drops to supressed, my symptoms again get worse before getting a bit better ? Seems to be always the case with me. I also work on my ferritin (taking liquid ferrous furamate) every day, all my b vits, 8000 vit D (level 119, in a range up to 125).
I know you advised me to wait, but it seems my symptoms are getting a bit worse and worse? My ft3 was never that low for me (32% of range tested at 4 weeks).
I will get my levels tested this Wednesday as I'm curious of what's happening at this given moment.
Need a hug x thank you!
