Re: Re: new thyroid ranges

[Guest guest]

Jess, since you are on the case. I will poor my heart out to you..lol

I think my sleep problems maybe due to hypothyroidism. I have all the

classic symptoms except weight gain; I am under weight. but I have

nearly every other sign. I also have tried T4 during the night once

when I awoke (as usual) and my tinnitus went and I slept like a baby.

The problem was I took too much 50-mcg and crashed about 2 in the

afternoon. That was about 2 months ago when I was crashing all the

time anyway. I haven't crashed since doing the high doses of b12. (over

3 weeks now) and feel almost well some days, yet still others I do not

get stage 4 sleep and feel flagging all day.

Sleep is one of my biggest issues at the moment. I have just started

taking kelp to see if it is an iodine problem. I recall a few years ago

doing the skin test for iodine and it was always gone so quick I

thought the test was iffy.
