Hallo all
I posted these results below recently as was baffled at how 'good' they are. My health seems to be fluctuating but the most problematic thing I have now is fatigue (again).
I struggle to fall asleep (this is quite new for me) and really struggle to be up in the morning. Once asleep I'm best if I get 10 hours straight - but this is not achievable when working!
I have a fitbit now and it shows my heart rate is quite high to begin with at night (up to 80-ish) and then drops to about 50 by the morning. My resting heart rate is a general 68.
Every day feels exhausting (no matter how much sleep I get) and I'm trying to avoid afternoon naps (can't do this at work). If I do nap, I don't drop off like I used to...I just stare at the ceiling blankly for an hour.
My feet hurt. I think I have plantar thingy - I'm using pressure socks to support and they help.
My legs hurt less now when walking (which is really good) but I have to push myself energy-wise.
I have still retained weight particularly tummy and thighs and I don't think this is shifting. Some days I feel very bloated. I'm hungry during the day but my appetite drops in the evening.
I can't work out whether or not this points to TOO MUCH Levo maybe?
These are my latest results from about 10/11 weeks or so back. All vitamins and iron etc very good. I take magnesium, D, zink, selenium and K12.
Any thoughts/experiences are welcomed please? Thank you
