I will begetting a tsh drawn in the next week but no free t3 or t4....my last tsh was 1.3 around that number...
Meanwhile....i still suffer from being extremely fidgety, can't sleep very well and the past several weeks severe diarrhea (comes and goes) severe body aches, depression, and having a fever of between 100 to 101 each evening for about two hours. The aches are so bad that i have started taking ultram each evening. I still exercise but not like i was. I hurt too much and i don't have the energy. I just feel all around baddd. In the summer i usually LOVE the beach....i have been once this year and summer is slipping away fast.
I am miserable and all i want is to feel like a human.
Thank you for listening.

I think we've discussed this before. Your TSH number is useless so don't even go to the bother of testing for that. You MUST get your Free T3 and Free T4 levels tested, if not, you will remain sick and cannot go forward with HRT. You seem to be stuck in a rut of some sort. Get your FT3 and FT4 tested, find a doctor who will do that, and report back.
