Cant take HC or NT anymore!

January 5, 2011

Hello everyone, Ive got myself into a very strange mess and cant worrk out what

has happened! Ive been on NT and HC for 18 months after finding out i was hypo

and had fatigued adrenals from private tests, before this i had a ME diagnosis

for 9 years. When i first started HC it helped alot and then adding the NT

helped but after a few months i went t4 toxic, i didnt know that at the time but

worked it out as it kept happening every few months and i had to stop NT for a

week. Dr P thought i had a conversion problem so started just T3 but found it

hard, i think perhaps it was pooling and went back on to NT, obviously though i

went toxic after a couple of months and i thought this is stupid and tried T3

again. I never managed more than 12.5 but it made me feel awful, really

confused, dizzy, anxious and out of it. I stopped it tried my NT again and it

made me feel the same way, even after a week. The really weird thing is i have

been taking HC for quite a long time and was taking around 35mg and it is having

the same effect now! For the last few days ive only managed to take 2.5 twice a

day as anymore makes me feel mad. Im just taking this tiny amount as i know its

dangerous to stop a high dose of HC suddenly. So at the mo im taking no thyroid

and just a tiny bit of HC, that i have to wait to wear off so i can get dressed.

Does anyone have any idea why this would have happened? The only thing i have

done differently lately is to up my iron to about 150mg as my ferritin was low

in my last test which was a year ago. Ive cut that down to two again but no

difference.

One other thing that happened was i was feeling ok about 6 weeks ago and went to

the shop, i felt something move in my brain and then was extremely dizzy and

sure i was going to faint, it lasted about 5 minutes then i was ok. A day later

i was in bed with bad neuro symptoms, exhaustion, sore head, dizziness, etc. I

went to a and e a few days later when i was a bit better as i thought it might

of been a mini stroke. They thought it was an aura, which is what some people

have before a migrane. i thought it made sense when i read about it but my

medication seems to have been effected since then. I just dont know, sorry this

is such a ramble, id be really grateful for any advice or ideas.

Thanks

Love Leisa
