hypo symptoms worse just before menstrual period

[Guest guest]

Hello all!

I was just wondering if anyone might have some tips as to what I can do with

this one...

I am on 125mcg Levothyroxine and have been advised by my new doctor to

supplement D3 - since there was an insufficiency. Levels will be checked again

in two months.

Whilst I'm waiting for the D3 supplementation to take effect - nothing yet after

one month - I wonder if anyone has any hints as to what I can do about my

symptoms worsening a few days before my period starts?

I seem to be feeling pretty much okay most of the time, until about three days

before my period starts - and then if feels almost as bad as I did when I was

first diagnosed... heavy limbs, unbelievable fatigue, brain fog. As soon as my

periods start - the symptoms disappear as quickly as they came.

Is there something I'm missing, I wonder?

I'm supplementing with - D3, Vit C, Selenium, B12, Zinc, Siberian Ginseng and

L-Glutamine.

Any hints gratefully accepted!

Del Cardiff.

How much D3 are you taking Del. You need to be on a high dose to

get things moving i.e. 4/5000mgs daily. The recommended daily dose is about

450mgs which is a ridiculous amount for those suffering deficiency.

I used to have exactly the same symptoms as you before a period

and I was absolutely unbearable to boot - with a foul temper and woe betide anybody

who got on the wrong side of me. Like you, this lasted about 3 days before the

event, but as soon as I had my period, I felt fine. I never did find out the

cause and learned to live with it, sorry. However, if anybody can explain this,

it would be good to know because my Grand Daughter is now going through the

same.

Thanks for your reply Sheila,

I feel much better that this might be a fairly 'normal' occurrence amongst us

Hashi's ladies! I'm sure there must be something that will help, though. As soon

as it's discovered - I'll let you know, so that you can pass it on to your

G-daughter!

The Vit D I am taking 2000mgs daily. I wonder if I should boost this up to 4000

for a while? Although, I'm off to Spain for a month with work and will probably

be alright on the Vit D front once I'm there.

Is there any such thing as too much Vit D? Am I right in thinking that the body

just stores it for a rainy day?

Thanks, once again - in advance!
