Hello There
I am so confused and at the end of my tether.
I was doing really well on 150mcg of Levo, apart from having a really dead spot in the afternoon when I needed a nap (not ideal when you have to work).
My Endo suggested I had 10mcg of Lio at 12noon to see if that helps, whilst lowering Levo to 125mcg. i started Lio slowly on 5mcg and had no problem. I’ve since upped it to 10mcg.
However, most of my hypo problems have come back. I am now tired all day, my mood is really low,i have gained 1/2 stone (in 3.5 weeks), i look like I am 5 months pregnant, my skin is awful (eczema is back), hair is falling out, I am achy like an old person, sleep is poor etc.
I’ve got blood results from when i was on 150mcg and they are pretty good. If it hadn’t been for the afternoon ‘dead zone’, it would have been great.
I don’t have bloods from the T3 addition as it’s only been 3.5 weeks.
What shall i do? Stop T3? Increase T3? increase Levo? Levo only? Could it be menopause? People suggested Adrenal glands are suffering, but why would they start to do that only AFTER I add T3?
I am so desperate and confused. Help please.
