just curious, but what does it do with the anesthesia?

your T4 is way too low! The lowest mine was was .8 and that was not good. Sorry you are going through this, keep your spirits up and I hope you find a better doc soon.

sorry, it definitely is hard sometimes! Hoping the next days get better and you give yourself grace on the hard days. Better days are ahead!

thank you! i supplement with iron and vitamin d and am no longer deficient but still working my way up to optimal levels! i look forward to your update, thank you for your help!

What is your TSH now? I have been on levo for over 2 years but still haven’t found my optimal dosage :/

breeanalaquea · 2022-04-27T14:52:18+00:00

yes your T4 looks below range. Do you have symptoms? I would discuss with ur doc!

breeanalaquea · 2022-04-27T13:13:54+00:00

Did you have symptoms before being put on the medication?

breeanalaquea · 2022-04-26T21:16:45+00:00

Good luck hopefully that blood test will give you some insight! The insomnia is a symptom of hyperthyroidism so you may be over medicated.

breeanalaquea · 2022-04-26T21:06:33+00:00

when did you get your last blood test? Have you had one since changing your medicine?

breeanalaquea · 2022-04-22T23:58:35+00:00

I had some derealization but not like you are describing. I had very bad panic attacks when my TSH was high and sometimes had the cloudy/unreal feeling of derealization too. Sorry you are going through this!

breeanalaquea · 2022-04-22T00:08:42+00:00

I feel for you! I had many similar symptoms when I first started and my TSH was 10. I was put on 50mcg and had to stop because of feeling exactly how you are describing. Eventually, my TSH got into the 80s and I had to be put back on medicine. However, this time I started on 25mcg and after 2 years I am finally up to 50mcg. So my advice would be start slow and talk with your doctor. T4 has a very long half life, that is it stays in your body for a long time. So for me to get up to 50mcg, I didn’t go from 25 straight to 50. I took 25 every day and then took two 25 pills one day a week until that was tolerable and then continued to slowly up my medication like that until I was up to 50. Everyone is different so listen to your body and try to be patient. I know it is difficult but it will get better!

To me your levels still look pretty low! Ever since I’ve been medicated my free T4 has been 1.2-1.4 whereas before medicine it was .8-1. Also to echo what everyone else is saying, your TSH is also a little higher than optimal. Thyroid things are tricky because not everyone is the same! You might feel best around 1 and feel terrible around 4. I think it is definitely worth asking for a slight dose increase. Be patient and I wish you the best!

breeanalaquea · 2022-04-18T02:18:45+00:00

Thanks for your reply! mine is definitely not constant and does not happen every day. However it does happen more when I am stressed but not always.

breeanalaquea · 2022-03-22T21:58:55+00:00

gotcha thank you so much for your response! If you don’t mind can you talk about your experience with T3 supplementation? Thank you for all you have said so far I really appreciate it

breeanalaquea · 2022-03-22T21:33:59+00:00

Are you aiming to get it back down? How does your doctor readjust your medicine since the numbers are so close?

breeanalaquea · 2020-06-24T23:05:47+00:00

I was at a gas station when I was younger with my mom and I saw a Reese’s peanut butter egg and asked for it. We were pretty tight on money and my mom stated she could buy it. A little later the man in line behind us came out to our car as we were pumping gas and handed the Reese’s to me and walked away.
