So I went and had extensive bloodwork done to check everything from my THS, T3, T4 Reverse T3 and T4 Cortizol, etc. I just called the doctors office for the result and was told that I was only slightly hyperthyroid. I was also told that all my other bloodwork with the exception of my Vitamind D level, was normal to optimal. My doctor suggested that I continue on my current synthroid dose and that I take 1000 IU's of Vitamin D daily.
I then looked up the symptoms of Vitamin D Defficiciency (sp) and found that fatigue, mood swings, joint/bone pain, muscle weekness, sleeplessness, tinnitus and weight gain are signs of Vitamin D Defficiency and that Vitamin D Defficiency is directly related to the Parathyroid gland. Who knew? I'll be going to get some Vitamin D when I pick up my new synthroid prescription either tomorrow or the next day.
It will be interesting to see if this has been my problem all along.

OMG it is so funny that you say that, I too am vit D deficient, and was told this before, and put on a pill I take once a week, I can't say that any of my symptoms changed by taking the Vitimin D. I have also looked into the Parathyroid thing, and I can't get any doctors to listen to me when it comes to that either, so I kind of gave up on that diagnosis, and am working on an undertreated Hypothyroidism, but I have to admit I am not getting anywhere with that either. Please keep me posted, and thanks so much. I will keep you in my prayers.

Latest Update. I've developed a kidney stone. Not sure if it's related to the Vitamin D, or if it was forming before I started the "D". Either way, I sure hope it passes without too much trouble. There is not worse pain in the world (even childbirth). Everything else is still really good. Still not losing weight, but at least I have more energy (just in time to get ready for the holidays).
