I know I don’t have to relay the whole story, but I want to cause sometimes I wonder whether I am wrong to expect more of my treatment.
My PCP rallied for me and contacted the endo. After multiple calls went unreturned, he was finally able to get a hold of him. Endo suggested PCP re-run the T3, T4 and TSH tests; the results of which my PCP said were all outta whack. He attempted phone calls again and finally the endo suggested I up my Atenolol (which I’m on for the heart palpatations and rapid pulse, but doesn’t do much of anything for the heat intolerance or tremors). Doing that put me at the max dose for the Atenolol. The paplpatations and tachychardia still come back from time to time, but not to the level that it was before I started the medication. And, it still does nothing for my heat intolerance and tremors. My symptoms include: (and I’ll probably forget something because memory loss is one of them! ) debilitating fatigue, insomnia (such that I’m not sleeping when I should and even with a full night’s sleep I still have a horrible time getting up and going that can take a couple hours to accomplish), complete lack of focus, memory loss, tremors, heat intolerance, palpatations, tachycardia, significant muscle weakness and I’m sure a thing or two I’m forgetting… but not weight loss.
