HI SHEILA

I am going back to my GP on Wednesday, as I feel that I am still suffering from

Hypothyroidism. I can tell by my voice which sounds husky.

My optician has confirmed that blurred vision is not a problem with my vision,

but it can be caused by a migraine which in turn can be caused by the thyroid

artery that runs up the neck, and like others have experianced pain in the neck,

but a Doctor will do an Xray, so all that can be seen is arthritas.

Arthritas is something most of us have, but do they ever consider the thyroid as

a cause of pain. If the thyroid is not treated properly constipation comes along

(I wish there were some Pomelo's). This in turn will not help with a prolapse

and have also been having some spotting of blood as a result. My GP even tried

to veer me away from VITAMIN C.

I have already increased my T3 by half a 25mcg pill,and will continue to

increase it gradually, so I am going back to tell him all this.

What I would like to know is if somebody with Hypothyroidism does pick up a bug,

does this make the thyroid worse, and more Hypothyroid, and should you increase

the T3, as in the past I was told not to increase it.Could picking up a bug

bring on this muscle pain which I am sure is connected with the thyroid, and not

Polymyalgia.

My GP also told me that I did not have Hashimotos, so how can I tell which type

of Hypothyroidism that I have, and which test would be needed.
