Guest guest Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 If you don't mind me asking, how old are you, Yasmin? I get tired around 3 pm every day if i am at work by 8 am. I am on 2 mg meds and have been for 20 years, except I have been on generic meds the last 2 years and easily put on 30-40 lbs. I am also post menopausal which, I feel is causing a lot of my discomfort. Unfortunately, it don't get any better. > > > TSH is too high IMO. > can you provide ranges for the frees? they should be in upper quadrant. > http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com > Gracia > > Free T3 4.0 > Free T4 17.2 > TSH 1.6 > > Ostradiol 370.2 > > I am on thyroxine 100mcg and now i myself have increased to 125mcg in the last week infact the day i took my tests. > > my doctor is of no help! > > weight gain especially around the tummy/thighs. > puffy face > forgetful > Thinning hair/dry/falling out > Tired around 5.00pm > need to go to bed by 10pm > Dont feel thirsty ever- dont like drinking water anymore > heart burn > > please help asap i would like to get on the right meds aswell as dosage. > > I feel tired just climbing the stairs. > my forgetfulness is embarrising. > > much appreciated > Yasmin > > > > --------------------------------- > The all-new goes wherever you go - free your email address from your Internet provider. > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 Hi I am 39 years of age. Have a regular painful heavy period. I am on T4 only med. Levothyroxine. Since starting a year and half a go i have put on 14lbs. I am hypothyroid. The meds dont work with me well. Did try amour at one time only the doc just took me off t4 straight to t3 didnt agree with me. I got trembling with it. Came off it. Would like to try it all again, just want to get it right this time, slowing coming off the t4 and introducing t3. any comments Would love to hear from anyone that can advise.

Guest guest Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 I am on Levothyroxine also. Before I took it I gained 20lbs in one month. When I took the meds all the swelling went down, and I was not depressed anymore. I am the type of person that when I get depressed I eat. After I took the meds the doctor told me to take and by stopping the soy, wheat, I lost 30 lbs. Oats don't make me sick so I eat lots of Oats. Make sure that your doctor gave you the right meds. Maybe you should ask him if you need to up or lower your dose. D999 yasmin Islam <yasmingucci2001@...> wrote: Hi I am 39 years of age. Have a regular painful heavy period. I am on T4 only med.
