in reply to: Still experiencing symptoms…but labs are normal? #1067797
Who made up this chart that says we are at a normal level??? I had RAI last August, my endo told me my levels were normal in November, now a year later I still don’t feel right. I have gained I don’t know how much weight, my eyes are still hurting, my head is still fussy at times and by 2:00 in the afternoon I am ready for a nap. I have tried to talk to my endo, but he says as long as my levels are normal there is not need to see him. How frustrating! He says I can’t be experiencing these things, because the level is normal, Normal for WHO? I am so sensitive to this synthroid that I can tell within hours of taking a higher or lower dose which direction I am headed, this too he says is impossible. It is so hard to find a good endo, but I think I need to find a new one. Has anyone ever tried a natural rememdy for this, if so please point me in the right direction, I have had it with Synthroid.
in reply to: Hi wacomom #1075316Thanks to all of you! It does help to know that there are others out there going though what I am. It helps to be able to talk to you. I guess this all went very quickly for me. I was diagnosed in late July with GD, took RAI in early August and was down to Hypo by end of October. I have just started the treatment and to tell you the truth, I don’t know what is worse being hyper or hypo. I guess I got so used to living with the other symptoms, that these new ones are just a little too much. Thank you all for saying it is okay not to do ALL the things I was used to doing. I think sometimes we just need to hear it, to reafirm that we are not just trying to be lazy, it truly is something our body needs.
I hope all of you lots of health and happiness!! Thank you all for being here to listen.
