Hypothyroidism is the disease state caused by insufficient production of thyrohormone by the thyroid gland. There are several distinct causes for chronic hypothyroidism, the most common being Hashimoto's thyroiditis and hypothyroidism following radioiodine therapy for hyperthyroidism. Advanced hypothyroidism may cause severe complications, the most serious one of which is...
I'm having an awfully difficult time with the latest dosage change.
I'm vibrating and simply feeling hyper. Its been 4+ weeks. traditionally I have always had a difficult time with any medication and this is no different.
I can't get blood work because I added progesterone but I want to decrease the dose. The progesterone took the edginess off but I am still irritable, can't think right. Takes about 1 hr to fall asleep, shaking like I'ma cell phone on vibrate. I'm very cold in the evening. I think I am causing issues at work and have become the whistle blower.
I am having doubts.When do I push through these weird feeling and when do I quit ?
Are these effects the result of a thyroxine imbalance or cortisol imbalance or something else?
If I force my FT3and FT4 up will everything fall into place?
How long does it take to adjust to a dose?

Sorry you are feeling crappy.
I feel like I am in quick sand...each step I take makes me worse. For some reason my heart rate is close to100 today. I can't relax and I can't calm down. I don't have panic and I don't have fatigue which is a blessing. I know I am blowing things up out of proportion yet I can't stop.
Another web site dealing with graves posted about tired thyroid where the author describes the relation between low thyroid and nor epinephrine . My ferritin saturation is a bit high and my cortisol levels are higher in the morning so I am at a loss why I feel this way.
Why each doses increase makes me worse.?I know CD would say "the holes in the sponge aren't full yet.
The Doc who prescribed the progesterone feels it will boast my FT4. I am not going to call the Dr as any complaint is usually met with lets lower the dose and this may not be the answer so I will wait...
Thank you again. Its hard to work and titrate.
FT4 14 (10-22)
Tsh 0.13
FT3 4.8 (3.5-6.5)
I am on the same dose erfa. I added progesterone cream after blood work was done. I relab and hold this dose for another3 weeks next lab feb2 ...unless I crack and drop my dose.
Dawn Rose? This may be too much but I heard that if you apply the progesterone on the vaginal mucusa it has greater pick up and may sedate me...which is a good thing right now. Have you ever tried it?
Your lab values are quite low however.
You should expect a lot more titrations in the future as you up your dosages. Sorry. Its a NASTY disease. Keep us informed.
I took progesterone orally and it made my estrogen go through the roof. I have heard that creams are better. Your supposed to switch the site so your body can properly absorb the cream. I think some of the sites were neck, inner arms, any place where skin is thin.
Hope this helps!
