Hi all , happy NY .
Hoping someone can shed some light on what’s going on as my doc hasn’t returned my call. He may not have been given the message so I will try and book an appointment next week but could be a while as have to get through the 3rd degree in the booking service🙈.
I have Hashimotos thyroiditis (diagnosed about 15 years ago) and take 1/2 a Euthyral 100mcg/20mcg tablet daily .
I had to switch to it in March 2019 as Armour thyroid isn’t allowed in France where I now live .
I’ve not been well since . I get episodes - they tend to go in what I call “waves” where I wake at night boiling hot , sweating , nauseaous and with pounding heart . Occasionally get SVTs during the day and recently one scary episode when we were eating out when my heart rate skipped from 52 to 203 in one beat. I also almost fainted .
Blood tests at the start of December read ferritin way over range (357ng/ml -“ normal” range 15-150) .
Leucocytes have been gradually going down and are now flagging as below range (3960/mm3 - normal range 4,000 - 10,000) . Also my usually good cholesterol is out of range too although triglycerides are normal . Overall cholesterol is 6.91 (range 3.87 -5.68). My HDL is always high but for the first time ever my LDL is high (4.42mmol/l - normal range > -4.13).
If anyone can cast any light on what may be causing this please do.
Thanks to all . Wishing you all a healthy New Year .
