Hello,
I’m just wondering if there is any link between hypothyroidism and flu-like illness. I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism in 2013 after radiation treatment for lung cancer. I feel like I have the flu approximately once a month and this has been going on for years. I never have a cough but sore throat, headache, gi symptoms, malaise and extreme fatigue which usually lasts about a week.. I have blood tests once every 3 months which shows no concerns except my immune cells a little low and my last CT scans was clear. It seems to hit me if I do too much work/exercise or after stress but not all the time. I am on 137.5 mcg on levothyroxine but haven’t received results from recent increase. At 125 mcg my tsh was 1.60 (.35-5) and t3 4.6 (3.4-5.9), t4 16 (11-23) . I wish I could get to the bottom, I’ve tried taking supplements that boost immune system, I rarely eat sugar or carbs but don’t know what moreI can do.
Any advice or info would be appreciated,
Thanks
