Hi, I hope you're all hanging on in there with this awful disease. I have been on 75 mcg Levothyroxine and 20 mcg Liothyronine for 6-9 months now as I couldnt tolerate T4 only. I feel absolutely awful with daily headaches and symptoms from head to toe, headaches, loose bowels, terrible dry and itching skin, insomnia, not eating, hot and very cold, hair loss, emotional and many more symptoms. I was diagnosed Hypo 9 years now and not getting any better, also joint and muscle pain esp in my hip and lower back. I don't have recent bloods as they were only taken yesterday have Endo appt Monday.. Please can anyone HELP, I am so vey unwell and scared. All my Endo does is increase/decrease my meds, and its not making me any better.

Thank you for all the support you have given me.

kind regard

Bubba

The only way we can help is if we see results, with reference ranges, for full thyroid/vitamin evaluation. Can I refer you back to SlowDragon 's response to your previous post here (4th post down)

healthunlocked.com/thyroidu...

She has given you all the information you need about which tests need doing, how to prepare for the test, and if you can't get them all done with your doctor then there's also information about how to get them done privately.

Come back with results/ranges for those tests so that we can help further. Certainly the list of symptoms you mention above suggest possible nutrient deficiencies for starters.

Hi SeasideSusie, thank you for the reply, I am seeing my Endo on Monday for a review and results of my bloods which I shall post on to you.

Take care
