cold, depressed, tired, demotivated dried skin, can all these symptoms

reappear after nearly two years on medication. I have asked for an

earlier blood test this week instead of May.

can anyone help and/or reassure me.

, How were you diagnosed Hypo. was it with RAI or just hypo. I am 46 soon to be 47 was diagnosed in 2000 with Graves, took RAI became hypo. I requested to be put on Armour Thyroid in 1part of 2004 and just had to change my dose for the 3rd time. On other meds I was changing every 3 months Karolsusan_coombes wrote: I have been on the 150mcg Levothyroxine since Sept 06. Feeling ,old cold, depressed, tired, demotivated

I was diagnosed with extremely low thyroid in 2005 the G.P said one

of the lowest readings he`d seen. After putting on three stone,

inability to get warm and I just couldnt get up in the mornings,

never felt rested and continued to feel depressed.

Could well be hormonal as I am nearing 43 year.

I usually suffer with Seasonal Adjustment Disorder but when the sun

was out all day today I wanted to go to bed and sleep, usually it

gives me a buzz and a zest for life, not today.

My thought are quite fuzzy and as a manager of a team I do not feel

confident in my role currently as I cannot seem to think straight, we

have also just moved house 3 months ago and I have two teenage sons

who can be hard work, plus a husband of 13 years.

I continue to have extremely dry skin, brittle nails, ect

I have been on T3 (Liothyroxine) last year which didnt help, I have

had my dose adjusted several times, higher and lower.

I felt today and yesterday that I was back to square one. I am also

seeing a therapist for Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, for my negative

and depressive state of mind.

A lot of your symptoms sound hypo to me..

Unfortunately the onyl really way to tell is to get labs.. being you

think you maybe hormonal make sure the doc orders the Free versions of

the labs.. so FT4 and FT3 are needed.. you may also ask for iron and

B12 and sugar levels as they symptoms can overlap with hypo or mimic

hypo symptoms..

Hello .

Do you have any labs you can post?

We need TSH, Free T3, Free T4, also ferritin/iron studies if you have it

and any adrenal tests you have had done

You may need a higher dose or even some T3 added or a switch to Armour which

also contains T3/T4 as well as T1, T2 and calcitonin

From my own stand point I have always been dealing with those problems

and they can recur if your meds need adjusted again

I have written a huge response but hubby turned the computer off and I hadn't saved anything.

Anyway, I was not receiving any respite from my symptoms so last year I insisted on all the tests, Endo tested me for Cushing Syndrome and Pituritrygland failure. Colonic irrigation twice, Liver and upper abdomen ultrasound scan for the distended and uncomfortable tummy,

Mammogram, taken T3 for three months. I am sure there is more but they all came up Normal anyway, god I hate that word!!!

My bloods were too difficult to make head nor tail of.

My-GP referred me psychiatrist felt this was a reason for weight gain, now receiving Cognitive Behaviour therapy and guess what I havent lost any weight!!!

Oh and Piturity function test. I was sure I had a small tumour there as I get the strangest sensation in the back of my neck like sand filtering from my head down my neck, yes I know I am strange but when I told my Mum she said shed had the same feeling and sensation for years.

I am also lactose intolerant and have been on antidepressants for approx 15 years since I suffered from Post natal depression with both my boys. now 15 years and 17.5 years

At my 40Th party I weighed 12 stone I am now 15 stone my appetite is poor and I possibly do not eat enough, I am now nearly 43 years arrhh!!!

Can anyone help me???

Sue I couldn't lose any weight either until I switched to Armour. The weight just fell off me and now I am back to my pre-hypo weight

Why were your bloods too difficult to read? that doesn't make sense to me

Did the doctor tell you that? Have you got copies you can post?.......................Meleese in Oz xx

You sound hypo to me.

There are some good docs in england and you should put

in a post looking to get some of your countrymen's

response on this.

My entire UK family has thryoid issues and you really

have to push to get them addressed.

Armour is t3 and t4... Cytomel -or liotrex (is just

t3).

You won't feel a different until you are dosed

properly...and you won't get that until you understand

the meds and the labs...
