Guest guest Posted July 24, 2010 Report Share Posted July 24, 2010 Been on thyroid meds for about 18 months, still feel as bad as ever but some things have resolved for me. Have tried T4 only, T4 with T3, T4 with Armour and Armour alone (actually Erfa as was all available). The only one I get on with at all is T4 only - this mostly resolves my panic attacks and the worst of my depression, my hair grows well and some of the neuro problems stop but I am still left with severe numbness and migraines, extreme fatigue, brain fog and feeling spaced out, weakness etc. On T4 only my bloods show a decent conversion and when taking 100mcg I have supressed TSH and T4 and T3 at the top of the range - but feel AWFUL! Extra dizzy and spaced out, racing pulse in the evenings and some anxiety. Could RT3 still be the problem? I have to say the brain fog has never gone and it takes weeks and weeks before I notice any small benefit from the thyroid meds - I usually have to have someone else point out to me that something is a bit better, I don't notice the change in myself as I feel so rough all the time. I did try T3 only for about 8 days but got very nervous I was going to become hyper and itchy (my sign that something is too much for me) so I stopped it. Could it still be a possiblity? Thanks in advance. Cindy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
