Synthroid

[Nifty7312]

I am on synthroid for so many years I’m not sure if it’s working right or not. I’ve lost unintentionally lost a lot weight, I have muscle weakness, soft nails, and a hard time sleeping.

Welcome aboard, have you some recent blood tests results to share? Sounds like you could be over replaced

[Nifty7312 in reply to TiggerMe]

I’m sorry, what does over replaced mean? I haven’t heard this before.

[Star13 in reply to Nifty7312]

It means your dose may be too high now.

Funny story. When I was first put on synthroid 0.25 mcg my doctor said my body overdosed on it. So I could only take a half of a dose, the blood work is fine. But I’m not

So, perhaps you would like to share your latest blood work with us? We might be able to spot the problem.

Sure how do I do this, this is is my first time

[greygoose]

I think the easiest way is to type them out, like this:

Date, dose

TSH result (range)

FT4 result (range)

FT3 result (range)

Plus any nutrient or antibody results you might have.
