Guest guest Posted May 16, 2010 Report Share Posted May 16, 2010 > > I am a new person to this group! I hope I can get some insite. I had thyroid cancer 4 years ago, cancer free and have taken synthroid. I was fine until 11 weeks ago when I had my third baby. I lost a lot of blood and had a hemoglobin of 6 and now a Ferritin of 35. I was unable to take my synthroid afterwards and noone could figure it out. Finally I ended up with excrutiating abdominal pain, undiagnosed for 2 weeks..I was unable to even sit up. They did an unneeded surgery, etc. No answers. Finally my internist gave me a shot of steroids and I started to get better. I think my Iron was so low it wouldn't help my synthroid and then my adrenals blew because I was so sick. > Currently I am on Synthroid becasue the Armour was wigging me out with the cortef they gave me. I have become extra sensitive to all meds and vitamins. My RT3 is 33 and my Vit D, Ferritin are low. I just got normalized on Free T3 and T4, but I am still really bad. I have shaking, muscle weakness, pain, highs and lows. I take cortef 2.5 once a day and sometimes twice a day. I am pursuing diagnostic tests soon, but i don't think my doctors really know what they are doing. Any insite???? I get new labs done Thursday. Currently my muscles are like jello and sore. I can barely walk and I feel awful in every way > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
