Guest guest Posted March 10, 2007 Report Share Posted March 10, 2007 Hi everyone. As you know my meds have been adjusted recently. I am noticing symptoms that I have not had in some time including nausea. Is this a hypo symptom? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 10, 2007 Report Share Posted March 10, 2007 Hi, I have Hashimoto's, so I've been both hyper and hypo. I never had nausea when I was hyper, but I started to get nauseous as I went hypo...especially around a week before my period, and it would last off and on all week. As my meds were adjusted and I became less hypo, I stopped getting nauseous. I'm taking Armour and T3. Hope this info helps... M.lymebytes wrote: Hi everyone.

Guest guest Posted March 10, 2007 Report Share Posted March 10, 2007 Thanks . I also have Hashimoto's and am on Armour and T3. My T3 was recently decreased and the Armour slightly increased. I have not had nausea this severe in a long time. I also am extremely bloated. I hate that I cannot get retested until the end of the month. It is good to know it is likely from the med change. I am so glad your nausea is gone. I hope you are are feeling good! > Hi everyone. As you know my meds have been adjusted recently.

Guest guest Posted March 10, 2007 Report Share Posted March 10, 2007 Hi , I get nauseus when I am hypo, too. I don't think I have hashi's, though I only feel good when my TSH is very nearly zero, and I don't feel hyper at that point, either. Can't convince my docs to test for the Free's, but I figure as long as my doc goes by how I feel anyway, it doesn't exactly matter as long as I feel good. I swear, I took so many pregnancy tests before I was diagnosted hypothyroid, I thought I was going nuts, because I had all the "symptoms": food cravings (carbs, which I found out later was a symptom of hypothyroid), nausea (never pinpointed as a symptom but seems to be one since it coincides with the rest of my thyroid symptoms), fatigue, moodiness, bloating, weight gain. LOL. I also noticed pitting edema in my lower legs (the kind of fluid buildup that, when you press your finger lightly against the skin, it leaves a dent that tends to stay for several seconds). It goes away when the levels are correct. It's just plain weird all that happens as a result of being hypo. www.Lane.com www.IwakuniMCAS.com http://stewartlane.com/gallery/ Be sure to check at the bottom of every set of pictures for more pages in the set.

Guest guest Posted March 10, 2007 Report Share Posted March 10, 2007 You're welcome. Did you feel better on the higher dose of T3? I've found that I feel better on a higher dose of T3 and less Armour. This is because my body has trouble converting T4 to T3...so I wasn't getting enough T3. Why the med change? lymebytes wrote: Thanks . I also have Hashimoto's and am on Armour and T3. My T3 was recently decreased and the Armour slightly increased.

Guest guest Posted March 10, 2007 Report Share Posted March 10, 2007 Hi . The meds were changed because I really crashed and a few weeks ago my Free T4 was .8 (.8-1.8). That is the lowest it has ever been, even before I was diagnosed. The Free T3 was 323 (230- 420). I think the doctor was trying to increase the T4, but now I wonder if the T3 decrease was too much. Initially he reduced the Cytomel by 20 mcg. I called him last Thursday because I still feel so bad and he told me to increase it by 5 mcg. I just started doing that yesterday. The Armour increase is 30 mg. Do you know where your Free Ts are when you are feeling your best (such as in the upper 1/3 of the range)? Thanks again for your help! > > Hi everyone.

Guest guest Posted March 10, 2007 Report Share Posted March 10, 2007 Embarrassing question time... how are your bowels working? Have you been regular (whatever regular is for you)? Sometimes with an adjustment, or when your levels are low the digestion gets thrown off... I've noticed that in me.... I get kind of a 'loss of appetite' thing going on... my digestion seems slow..and I'm not making my daily deposit.... Sometimes I get a funky stomach... not like I have to vomit..... but 'off'.... Don't know if this applies are not... but since it seems to be a fairly common stage for me with adjustments, and you recently had an adjustment.. I thought I'd throw it up in the air for consideration.... Topper () On Sun, 11 Mar 2007 00:19:08 -0000 " lymebytes " ko_@...> writes: > Thanks . I also have Hashimoto's and am on Armour and T3.

Guest guest Posted March 10, 2007 Report Share Posted March 10, 2007 Thanks . I have all those symptoms you list also. Recently I just had to have pasta, and I don't normally eat it or even want it! I didn't know that was thyroid related. It sounds like you have a good doctor. They are hard to find. I hope you are doing well with your treatment. > Hi everyone.

Guest guest Posted March 10, 2007 Report Share Posted March 10, 2007 Hi . Not embarrassing--part of life right? The funny thing is the day after I switched meds, the " deposits " were unreal, as though I had been constipated for weeks. I do not usually have constipation. Now my stomach is extremely bloated even though I have not eaten much. It is very uncomfortable. I have gone today a couple of times. Maybe the T3 should not have been lowered when the Armour was increased, I don't know. If I just increased the Cytomel by 5 mcg two days ago, how long do you think it will take to get the full benefit? Thank you so much for your input. > > Embarrassing > question time... how are your bowels working? Have you been regular > (whatever regular is for you)?

Guest guest Posted March 10, 2007 Report Share Posted March 10, 2007 I was talking with someone this afternoon about this.. she and I compared notes on how our digestion, well, body maintenance, shifts after adjustments... for her it included her kidneys kicking into high gear and a LOT of bladder emptying after her last change (the dumb doc had taken her Armour away, putting her back on T4, and her symptoms came back BIG and BAD.. she gave up on him, dug out an old prescription and went back on the Armour on her own... and now this shift in her body function) I can't say how long this will last for you... keep a responsible eye on things and make sure that you've not picked up a bug (with all contaminated food over this last winter, better safe than sorry)... it should, I would expect, be over in a few days... My take on it has been that the body has to shift into different gears, and when it does things get out of whack... gas can build when digestion is off, elimination of both solids an liquids can slow, or increase, as speeds of things (metabolic rate) change... even a change in body temp HUGELY affects the bacteria in our gut and can cause a shift... take how often we tend to have loose bowels when we have a fever. the body temp raises and our little intestinal helpers can't take the heat, our digestion becomes less efficient... and the result is.... the nice term.... irregularity.... You might want to try eating small amounts of bland foods.. to keep things moving without irritating things more until it all settles down again?? I used to be soooo incredibly embarrassed talking about 'potty' stuff... but after finding out so many of the things that I suffered from were not uncommon among others here.. and how much it can tell us about what we're going through with shifts and stuff... AND the fact that knowing as icky as some of these 'cycles' are they are a normal process as our bodies figure out how they are supposed to work again... well.... now that I understand it's normal, I use it as another tell tale sign that my body is responding.... but then... I'm kinda weird! hehehe Topper () On Sun, 11 Mar 2007 01:33:02 -0000 " lymebytes " ko_@...> writes: > Hi .

Guest guest Posted March 11, 2007 Report Share Posted March 11, 2007 Thank you, . I am doing much better here with my new doctor, though I still have days when I'm just exhausted, particularly any time after Noon, but I don't understand it, could be thyroid still I guess but all the other symptoms have gone away. Maybe my body just was hypo so long it's taking time to catch up. www.Lane.com www.IwakuniMCAS.com http://stewartlane.com/gallery/ Be sure to check at the bottom of every set of pictures for more pages in the set.

Guest guest Posted March 11, 2007 Report Share Posted March 11, 2007 , thanks so much for your informative reply. You are not weird! You make some excellent points. I agree that when the body becomes unbalanced, it has a domino effect on multiple systems. I hope the nausea and bloating resolve in a couple of days. Eating smaller meals sounds like a good plan.

Guest guest Posted March 11, 2007 Report Share Posted March 11, 2007 Hi - no problem! My doc doesn't do bloodwork very often - he mainly goes on how I feel, which is awesome. I haven't had bloodwork done since December and at the time, I was on 90mg Armour (not extra T3) med, and I felt pretty crappy. Here are the labs from that time: Free T3 354 (normal 230-420), Free T4 1.20 (normal .76-1.79). As you can see, even though my labs showed me as in the higher part of the normal range, I still didn't feel well. For me, this is because my body wasn't converting enough T4 to T3. I need to get updated labs...I'll let you know when I do. Honestly, I think when I'm feeling my best, my bloodwork would probably show me as hyperthyroid. However, with no hyper symptoms. I hope this info helps. lymebytes wrote: Hi . The meds were changed because I really crashed and a few weeks ago my Free T4 was .8 (.8-1.8).

Guest guest Posted March 11, 2007 Report Share Posted March 11, 2007 Hi . Your response has helped a lot. You are so lucky to find a doctor who works with how you are feeling. I know I have not yet been optimally treated. Most doctors will only go so far with treatment especially when the TSH is suppressed. I keep trying to find one who will work with me. Hopefully this one will. It will be intersting to see what your new labs are compared with how you are feeling. Do let me know. Thanks! > > > Hi everyone.
