Hypo or hyper? Can barely walk, sore.musclrs, eyes burn and the water profusely. O never had any of these symptoms before the Thyroidectomy two years ago. I Can't stabilize ever. I don't have a doctor that knows anything about Graves? Endos just do diabetes!

Now NP THYROID Increased by me from 60 mg. as labs below to 75 mg. NP. Now very sore muscles and watering and dry burning eyes.

HYPO or HYPER?

I cannot help with any info re after the thyroidectomy but have you seen an optician for advice re the watering /dry eyes. It appears that dry eyes can be a thyroid symptom. When my eyes play up I use hypromellose eyedrops which help and also watch computer/phone screen time. boots.com/boots-hypromellos...

So long since I posted. I have finally found an excellent doctor after having been hospitalized for a horse accident, totally unrelated to thyroid! He now has me starting on T3. I became hyper on 75 mg NP Thyroid. I was feeling my best for 3 months, then went over the top...anger, crying, anxiety, ugh. Now I'm starting adding 5 mcg increments T3 to 60 mg NP. Also he is checking all my vitamin levels and going to check antibodies which no doctor has done before. I feel very secure in his care because he is interested and progressive. This is about year #4 of misery. I'm so excited!
