Hi Everyone

Just wanted to let you know how things are going. I am now on 75 mcg

T4 and 20 mcg T3 and have been for 6 weeks, I have just had a blood

test today ready for my follow up withn endo next week, haven't taken

meds since Tuesday evening. My Ferritin 3 weeks ago had reached 46 so

I am very pleased about that as I have been taking 200mg ferrous

sulphate twice a day. I am feeling a little better although I still

have knee stiffness especially when getting up from sitting or going

up and down the stairs. My thigh cramps come and go but I don't think

they are quite as bad as they were. I am tired at times but not

excessively. I have been tracking my temp and my basal temp has been

36.5 - 36.6 in the first few days of my cycle. I have also been

tracking them during the day and they seem to be ranging from 36.7 to

36.9. Does anyone know whether this would indicate still not quite

there with the meds. My last blood test 3 weeks ago, but had taken

meds was T4 10 T3 6.4 and TSH 0.12. I have also noticed probably for a

couple of months that one of my eyes just below the eyebrow so on the

browbone is quite swollen and puffy and stings when I rub any cream

onto it the other eye could be very slightly swollen but not sore - do

you think this could be thyroid or not connected. I would welcome your

thoughts as i need to gear myself up for my appointment with endo and

wanted to know what I should be asking for really.

Many thanks, much love Lizzie
