Guest guest Posted December 15, 2011 Report Share Posted December 15, 2011 Just wanted some advice on what could be happening to me.. Off work 4 months with exhaustion, Fibromyalgia type pain -felt like run over with steam roller. Intense hunger - weight gain of a stone, hot seats, not sleeping at night at all. Depleted low tsh and ft4 of 14.something, despite being on 125mcgs. Hormone: Low IGF 1, high shbg, high oestradiol. Stage 3 maladaption on 24 hr adrenal salivary test. Long story and not going to bore you with it. Gp wanted to increase my thyroxine. I asked for t3 - Declined. I decided to decrease my f4 as I was going to start T3 with or without. Saw a private endo, who wanted me to stay at 25mcgs and see what my test results were after 6 weeks on 25mcg. They have come back now at tsh 2.?? something and ft4 14.? I havent been able to get paper results yet. He now wants me to come off t4 altogether and re-test ?? Now I have to say, I do feel better (without) T4 than with as I did feel as if I was TOXIC !! BUT..... Always having had low blood pressure, I now have HIGH blood pressure and my bad cholesterol has rocketed out of nowhere and have palpitations,,,, Despite this I have lost the extra stone gained and the aches and pains have gone. Could I have been allergic to T4 ?? Do I still need T3 ?? I have started on adrenal support and this is definitely helping me.. Thank you Dawn 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
