Thank you Ski for taking the time to reply to my post…

The Alcohol isn’t a big deal. It just kinda sucks. *laugh* the other issue seems to be causing more problems! I am wondering if its a adrenal glad or DHEA disorder. Guess I’ll find out in a couple of months as I am on a waiting list for a new endo~ so I guess I’ll see how that goes. Thanks again for sharing your thoughts!

Pt. 2

My endocrinologist sent me back to my primary care doctor and since then we’ve been messing around with doses. highest right after surgery was 150mg. Then 125 and now for the past year its been 112. In August I went to my PC because I felt very hypo even with the meds. I read about cytomel and asked to be put on that. Doc. prescribed 25mg once a day. and it gives me a bit of a boost– I can really tell when it wears out during the day. I still have hypo symptoms like mild hair loss, tired, depressed feeling, very cold, having trouble losing weight. I just don’t feel better! Here’s where I’m having issues. So I know this little gland controls a lot of things from head to toe– About 4-5 months after my surgery I started having specific issues that I haven’t found anything really about. ***TMI Warning Below***

One problem is more of an inconvenience, and one that I can live with. I’m a social drinker and I’ve found alcohol doesn’t affect me the same way anymore. before 2 drinks and I would be wasted. Now, it either makes me more sober (if that makes sense) or I just get sick. I’ve tried pretty much everything; I’ve tried it on a near empty stomach, everything… nothing "works" but I still get hungover the next day! Not worth it if you ask me! *laugh*I know thyroid is related to metabolism and obviously its not working for me. Its odd; But what’s worse and having a greater impact on my life is a new problem I have climaxing. again this started about 4-5 months after surgery. Since my surgery I’ve had 11 orgasms. Which is rare for me, before I had no trouble with this… now I get just there but then it goes away. Its very hard for me to deal with, and its negatively affecting my relationship. Drive and desire are there just can’t climax. Talk about tense! I even broke down and talked to my doctor about these issues in august. she had no real ideas and ran a bunch of tests; all came back "normal" but I can tell you this isn’t normal. I’m at a loss. Right now I regret having the surgery. Maybe 15 pills a day is better than 2. Not so much the drinking, but the sexual dysfunction. I read about low libido being a possible hypo side effect but this is a whole different problem!

I now have new insurance and am starting the long process of getting in with a new endocrinologist. But that of course is I’m sure months away. Feeling very overwhelmed and frustrated. Anyone ever come across these kinds of symptoms post TT or am I just "lucky"?

Thanks Kimberly,
That’s one of the things I hope to discuss with my new doctor. Splitting the dose makes sense to me since if I understand it correctly it lasts for 6-8 hours. Thanks for taking the time to reply!
