Can anyone throw any light please?

Since my last post following which I increased Thyrogold from 450mg to 600mg there has been no discernible improvement in my symptoms. In fact, some, like the itching have got worse and my itchy eyes now have a brown ring around them - at least I no longer need eye shadow. I am having a flare up of my arthritis which always seems to be associated with an increase in symptoms and I can fall asleep at the drop of a hat. The tinnitus and vertigo have got much worse and the lovely stone that I lost last year without even trying has all but returned. My appetite and food cravings have gone through the roof. Naturally that's making me feel blue, given that I would rather live a short time in my right size body than linger on feeling like a beached whale. I tested again some weeks after the increase and have no idea what the results mean compared with the last lot; I am attaching the readout. I have some Tiromel and trialled that for a while but felt a bit lost and also no better so I stopped. Now I am wondering whether to increase the Thyrogold to 750mg, though the cost has risen from $40 to $65.50 per pot so that's a bit unwelcome especially as postage is $40. I have read other posts that seem to suggest that Thyrogold works well for a while then stops being efficacious. I am all at sea and would appreciate any comments or advice on what to do next......... thank you in advance xx

On a separate note if anyone is interested in buying my copy of Dr John Lowe's book, The Metabolic Treatment of Fibromyalgia, I am selling at £50 plus postage, - it is the size of two house bricks! please DM me.

Sorry you've not had any replies yet northsix. My comment will bring your post back up the news feed, so hopefully others will see it and respond.

thank you helvella! No worries though, as I’m in the middle of a big flare up and have an urgent appointment with the ophthalmologist and endocrinology ( which will be the first time since my partial thyroidectomy 30 years ago!). Feeling really rotten but trying to go gluten free to see if it helps. Kindest regards x
