Sorry, I'm going to moan...again...

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

I'm feeling really fed up today, and really losing faith that I will

be well for any length of time.

I've been teetering between hypo and hyper symptoms since March,

desperately trying to balance myself out, with glimpses of feeling

well appearing for all too short a time...This is despite various

combinations of T4 and armour together and alone, and now T3.

I finally managed to see Dr P at the end of November and he confirmed

I should continue pred, and drop the armour to 1 1/2 (had been taking

3), and then after a week add in T3 12.5 at first, then 12.5 x2.

Last week was my 12.5 week, and though I was OK at first, I began to

feel very tired and foggy and achey getting quite poorly again this

weekend. I assumed this was because my T4 level had begun to drop. I

took the 2nd 12.5 dose yesterday and started to feel better within 3

hours.

However I have felt awful again today, my heart has been pounding (as

before it's happening at 1030 and again at 1300-1500) and I have been

feeling pretty hyper, then after it wore off at 1500, I began to feel

tired and achey again, though in my body in general it's akin to that

tiredness you get when you have been through the mill emotionally,

just totally drained not tired.

I just am losing faith that I am ever going to be able to be better

on anything, I thought that T3 would be the answer. Does anyone have

any advice?

I am due on my period in a couple of days (which is probably why I am

sooo upset about this today!) so not sure if this is part of it?

I am going on a cruise roudn the carribean on Boxing day and I am so

worried I am goign to be too ill to enjoy it, am starting to dread it.

Sorry to be so negative and moany but feeling really low today...
