thyroid hormone + favism

[cawaa]

I want to inquire about my health condition because I went to a doctor before and he did not give me a specific explanation. I suffer from severe fatigue in my body even though I sleep more than nine hours and I wake up very tired despite that. I have constant dizziness and blurry vision, and my hair is falling out a lot. I have large dark circles under my eyes even though I tried to treat them repeatedly and they did not go away. My skin is always yellow and i have itching all over my body for about a month. It is difficult for me to eat because I do not feel hungry and this has caused me to lose weight. I had a blood test last week and the doctor told me the result yesterday, but I did not understand what that meant and she said that I suffer from a deficiency in the thyroid hormone. I want help with that, please, knowing that I have favism.i am 19 years old

I suggest you post this on the Thyroid Uk group here on Healthunlocked as they are an expert group on this subject. Based in the UK, but they have members from around the world. They will want you to post the results of the blood test your doctor must have done to conclude that ( ask for a copy).

Sorry never heard of favism so you may need to explain that.

hi, if you have low thyroid levels you will be tired and ache all the time, you need thyroxine to up your levels, you will feel so much better

It’s likely..a combination of coping with a Thyroid deficiency, and Favism…is causing you to feel so unwell.

Try to get a 2nd opinion from a doctor who is able to help you. Both conditions can be treated…..but treatment won’t be exactly the same for everyone…you need a personal assessment.
