Re: Bump/ thyroid meds

Joint pain is a known hypo symptom, and Synthroid (T4-only) keeps many people

hypo. Thigh weakness may be part of the overall weakness that is also a hypo

symptom. Abdominal pain I don't know about.

General info on how Synthroid keeps many people hypo:

How " normal " was the saliva cortisol?? Can you post the results and

ranges.

What dose of T4 and how long had you been on it??

I have a lot less miscellaneous aches than when I was on Natural now I

am on T3 only.

What was your FT4, FT3, and RT3 on the most recent labs??

Saliva results:

DHEA 3.3 (2-23)

morning 5.9 (3.7-9.5)

noon 1.9(1.2-3)

afternoon 1.1 (0.6-1.9)

night 0.7 (0.4-1.0)

2.5 weeks ago i had blood drawn when I was not on any thyroid meds for 2 weeks.These were the results--cortisol 230 pm blood 4 ug/dl (2-13), Free T4 0.3 (0.73-1.95), Free T3 1.2 (2.3-4.2), TSH 16.1 (.3-5.1)-- i had thyroid cancer so we want my tsh to be <0.025.; Reverse T3 105 (90-350)

My biggest complaints are severe incapacitating fatigue, abdominal pain, occasional heart palpitations, inability to take vitamins or eat junk food without having shaking or heart racing...... all other labs are good as far as iron, ferritin, liver, kidney, etc. We are trying to figure out if it is adrenals, but so far nothing has pointed that way. I don't know how to determine if it is and i don't want to go on steroids if i don't need them.
