Re: unable to function during my periods.

[Guest guest]

Yes, I can relate. I feel like my med is not working. Just this month my period

was a day early and very heavy. I have to take an extra dose of my

antidepressant. I am so cold, achy, stressed, depressed, irritable, moody,... I

wonder if the med is strong enough during that time, cuz otherwise, I feel

fine. I am 37 years old. I sometimes wonder if I am starting perimenopause stage

or what. I take levothyroxine 125. But for the last 2 months I have taken

samples of levoxly. I wonder did that change my period and every thing else.

Yasmine,

Hello! It seems like you have that, " Heavy Headedness syndrome " that a lot of

us get from being hypo. Also, I have heavy periods, and somewhat bad PMS at

times as well. It is your hormones. You must get them checked, and balanced,

along with your thyroid. The herbs will help, but are not a total cureall.

Until you get them balanced, use some adrenal herbs from the Whole Foods store

for women. I've used them, and they can be very benefical. Many

blessings.......

The generic and the brand names should be very close in potency now.

They did have an equivalency issue as recently as 10 years ago. Instead,

your problem is more likely to be the unusually low dose. The

manufacturer's nominal dose for an average weight adult woman is 200

mcg. Unless your tests show that your thyroid is still functioning, you

are seriously underdosed.

Chuck

[Guest guest]

Chuck - I'd like to form a question about this but I don't know where to

begin. You recently helped me by suggesting that I split my Cytomel (25 mcg

prescribed, but I don't seem to get beyond 12 l/2 mcg (i'm splitting the

pill into quarters). Along with that I take 100 mcg of Synthroid. Okay?

Now, my last blood work is shown below- 10/10/06 - AFTER 32 hours WITHOUT

any thyroid meds (I usually, before your advice, took my meds A.M. only -

about 7 ish) as my blood test was late afternoon. Okay?

Tsh 0.016 norm .350 to 5.500

Free, Direct T4 0.96 norm .61 to 1.76

Free, Serum T3 2.9 norm 2.3 to 4.2

I am a 58 yr old woman diagnosed hypo 4 yrs ago, but was hyper in my 20's

and medicated for about 18 months - declared " cured " and told to have my

primary watch my thyroid as it was inevitable it would go hypo in later

life. Voila - it did, but I got these numbers above in my blood work on

only 100MCG Synthroid and the 12 l/2 mcg Cytomel. Should I too be at 200

mcg at least? I am 40 lbs overweight, have very painful joints and

muscles, puffy face and eyes and a tendency towards fluid. My energy level

has increased since adding the Cytomel in March.

I just got concerned that maybe I'm not in the right place given your

comment that an adult woman should be at 200mcg. Which tests besides blood

work would one have to prove any continuing function of the thyroid?

Thanks for any advice. Dusty

(P.S. It appears to be familial and not Hashimoto's thyroid - my father,

both of his surviving brothers, me, my sister, two of my first cousins all

have hypo (all these on my paternal side). I was the only one diagnosed

with hyper first. One first cousin has adrenal tumors. We must be really

weak specimen's!!!!)

[Guest guest]

Dusty,

Sorry, the manufacturers' recommended full replacement dose was for

levothyroxine ONLY. Adding Cytomel changes things. Cytomel (T3) is

complementary to your Synthroid (T4), since the T4 is metabolized into

T3 in your body. Thus, if you take T3, you need to take a

correspondingly smaller amount of T4.

Plus, " full replacement dose " means the dose needed when your thyroid

has quit completely. Yours may still be fighting, although the more

common pattern with familial hypoT is a fairly rapid and complete

shutdown. That's what my family all did, including me.

As for the blood tests, taking Cytomel is notorious for artificially

driving TSH down, and it won't change even with a 32 (or 48) hour

hiatus. I would expect FT3 and FT4 to come down a bit in that period,

FT3 especially. That seems to have happened. I don't recall the earlier

exchange, but if we recommended you cut the Cytomel into parts, that

might have been to minimize hyperT side effects while keeping the

average dose up.

Has your doctor checked your adrenals, especially with adrenal tumors in

the family? The two systems do interact and can cause some of the same

symptoms.

I was having a problem like that and the doctor put me on the pill and said I'll

be on it for life. Didn't like the idea but I took it. I feel alot better.

Hi, my name is . Chuck, you may be right. I have been aching something

terrible lately all over. I saw my doctor yesterday instead of the nurse

practioner. He thinks I have a goiter but he also told me to start back on the

levothyroxine until the tests are done and results are returned.. ( I havent

seen him in about 2 years.) He is having a barium swallow done and a thyroid

ultrasound. What is the big deal if I have a goiter?

It depends on what is causing it. Usually, it is a relatively benign

indication of a sick or dying thyroid. That can be usually be treated by

replacing the hormone and/or supplementing with iodine. There are also

more aggressive conditions that can require surgery.

Why have I developed a goiter and Im taking my med? I do feel better today

after switching back to levothyroxine. Maybe the levoxyl has something to do

with it.

Why would I not get enough iodine? I had been taking levothyroxine about a year

and a half. 2 months ago the nurse practioner gave me samples of levoxyl. Now I

am back on the levothyroxine cuz I think the levoxyl does not agree with me. But

Did you STOP being sick when you went back? I think you may be on too

low a dose, regardless of the brand name, and it's the timing that makes

you think it is the brand. However, there are differences in the fillers

and dyes in the different brands. We've listed those here before. Some

people are allergic to the supposedly inert ingredients in one type or

another.

What about when you switched back to Synthroid? I would expect on your

inadequate dose, that neither brand gave you any relief.

not....I just don't feel good....a small description to a big problem!

Lori,

Have you checked into other hormonal imbalances? Thyroid can impact

PMS symptoms, but usually you will have symptoms throughout the

month. Have you had the full thyroid labs yet? You really do need

to know your lab values before starting medication.

time and never responded. I too suffer from many of the symptoms of hypo. I want

to find a source of Armour without a prescription, but so far have not found

any. Could anyone help me? All the tests show I am fine, but I know I am

not....I just don't feel good....a small description to a big problem!

Thanks in advance and blessings!!

-I would say that your PMS is probably thyroid related because you

have to be treated properly for that before considering anything

else.

I too had numbness and tingling I thought it was due to my botched

epideral during birth of 4 th boy. However I went to a specialist

and he gave me a long list of what could cause it. Thyroid was

amoung them. So that is when I started self medicating with Armour

and it disappeared when I got to a dose that was good for my body at

the time.

Sherry,

I saw my gyno today because I am exploring all options....maybe a hormonal

imbalance? He ordered tests and also told my a hysterectomy was an

option.....YIKES.....I have never had major surgery and could never afford to be

without my pay check for 4-6 weeks and still not know if that was the complete

problem. He ordered FSH and Free T4 and sensitive TSH testing. I hope that

will give him and me a better picture.

Thanks for responding!

Lori,

Have you checked into other hormonal imbalances? Thyroid can impact

PMS symptoms, but usually you will have symptoms throughout the

month. Have you had the full thyroid labs yet? You really do need

to know your lab values before starting medication.
