Guest guest Posted June 23, 2011 Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 i posted a thread around 2-3 weeks ago about feeling anxious and i read some articles on STTM with simikar symptoms and increased my dose bexause it said that may be the cause and felt better 2 days after, i have been on erfa around 6-7 weeks and felt i have had to up my dose every 10 days half a grain each time. I am now on 2½ grain (1 morn 1 afternoon and ½ around 5) this past few days i have felt really weak and achy like i have the flu without the cold? finding difficult to walk upstairs and achy arms and legs and getting out of breath when i go up more than 3 flights of stairs and also have funny bowels movements again that are very gassy and sticky like i was getting last year.

Guest guest Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 Check out the attached document Ali and see if any of these associated conditions apply to you. Also, ask your GP to test your levels of ferritin, vitamin B12, vitamin D3, magnesium, folate, copper and zinc, because if any of these are low in the reference range, no amount of thyroid hormone is able to be properly utilised at the cellular level. if your doctor tries to tell you there is no association between these specific minerals/vitamins and hypothyroidism, then print off the attached document to show him just some of the medical science that shows there is. Please get these results from your GP together with the reference range for each test done and post them on the forum so we can help with their interpretation. Be aware that doctors cannot withhold such information under the Freedom of Information Act and the Data Protection Act, and you do NOT have to give a reason to anybody for asking for this information.
