Is she foreign, is that why you don't understand her LOL? At least she way lowered your dose. You should feel better in a couple of weeks or so. Not so brain foggy maybe and tired.It takes awhile sometimes to feel better. Keep trying to talk to her about how you feel though.

Yes she is not from here, but she will start to tell you something and stop midsentence and change her mind. I had to tell her yesterday what I was on. She told me to stop taking the betablocker and I told her she stopped in in June. Don't get me wrong she seems very smart just scatter brained or something. She and her husband have their own clinic at the Baptist Hosp. Yesterday I was so hyped up and felt so good today is third day on 5mg. And I feel like crap.I didn't take it 2 nights on my on and then she changed it yesterday so i started two days before she did. I'll be OK must needsomebody to grip to I guess.

Hahaha, it sounds like she talks as if your endo was a bit HYPO. That is how I talk when I am off ... never finish a sentence because I forgot what I was talking about. I am also a foreign transplant but I think that doesn't have to do with it, LOL.

About your symptoms: I wish the only thing I did was forgetting my groceries when I was super hyPO a few years ago. I actually forgot to open my garage door one night and backed out ... well, it was open after that, alright. Another time I did not notice that the side door of the back seat was open, while backing out. That was a hole in the dry wall. I was a new mom at the time, breastfeeding and all and I so wished I could have gotten really drunk but I devoured a HUGE piece of chocolat lava cake at Cousin's, where I was meeting my friend. I forgot my credit card that night too.

So my profesional opinion (ahum): HyPO thyroid for you, lady.

Thats how I was feeling then I reduced my own dose as the dr told me FT4 was normal they dont routinely do a T3 test in uk, I felt like I had taken a sleeping tablet and someone told me to see how long I could function for, it was like I was sleep walking, I couldnt be bothered to speak or hold a conversation (which is highly abnormal for me), I was advising patients wrongly then correcting myself as my brain just slowed right down. Well after about three days of reducing it by one tablet it was like the fog had lifted, still not got my dose right though, specialist rubbish he just left me to it for three months on a tablet I couldnt tolerate and on a dose which was too high for too long, and GPs arent really specialised in this area, its a minefield :)

How are you doing snippy? Any news?

Sort Natalie it has taken me so long to answer. When on the road with my husband I rely on wifi. I Ned to break down and buy a card but we run alot of back roads from papermill to warehouse and with talking to many people where we are haven,t found a good broadband card yet. I'm doing OK except for my arms killing me here it is 1am and I'm setting in front of the truck my husband snoring in the back cause I can't lay still anymore cause of my arms. My last TSH want up to 16 from 13 and she lowered my Meth. To 5mg. a day. My head was real fuzy for about a week seems it has improved. From the elbows up to the shoulders just kills me and no matter what I take it doesn't help. I don't do narcotics my body doesn't tolerate them so that is out. Hope you are well and things are good.

No need to excuse your self, Snippy. I know you are on the road alot. Just wanted to let you know I was thinking about you. Being on the road like that AND battling this GD must be extra hard. It is harder to maintain a balanced lifestyle, harder to have access to a doctor or lab if you would like and yes: With the Hypo Fuzzies in your brain it must be quite the task to drive the truck. Wouldn't wanna be in your lane, LOL! And narcotics and trucking .... hmmmm, never a good idea, anyway right?

Have you tried a NSAID dose at night? Non Steroid Anti Inflammatories are Ibuprofen or Naproxen. I can not remember when or where I read it, but I read it helped with night symptoms. I tried it a while back when I was very restless at night and it worked like a charm. The recommend OTC dose is 200mg every 6 hrs but you can take up to 800mg for a brief period of time, provided your kidney's are fine and you do not have anyother contra indications (bleeding disorder) It might be worth a try.

Have a good trip! Be safe!

Are you ever in the NorthWest? SE WA?
