Feel tired and run down. My Endo (from healthunlocked list) has suggested I do 75/100 alternate days as he doesn’t want to suppress the TSH. But I’m not exactly sure what a low TSH means (he hasn’t explained as was just an email? Do you have any clarity on that?) Also I’m on accord.
With diet it’s so difficult. Trying GF where possible but dairy free I find so hard as we don’t eat meat. Will try as I know there are so many books and recipes out there.
Ref Ferritin, I’ve been on ferrous sulphate for a year once a day and it’s still low, but apparently my iron studies are ok and sometimes the ferritin level is not a true reflection (?!).
I’ve been suffering from thyroid pain like strangulation since jan this year. I’ve had prednisolone (2 courses) and finally got to see an ENT who was able to examine it and claimed it’s thyroiditis so now I need to have another ultrasound and FNA and also try a nerve suppressant!!
This is interesting because I have noticed that many patients with Hashimoto’s disease and hypothyroidism, start to feel worse when their ferritin drops below 80 and usually there is hair loss when it drops below 50.
