If you're taking 224 of Levo and your FT4 is still that low....something is not right. Like you're not absorbing it or something. Either that or your FT3 maybe be really in the gutter, which is maybe why the anxiety.etc.. I would think you'd be hyper but not with that tsh and FT4.

I had a complete hysterectomy is 2007 (i had appendix cancer that burst thru the appendix and leaked the cancer onto my ovaries, my diaphragm etc etc..) and the only type of hormone i am allowd is an estrogen cream. No pills for me. So i have been post menopausal for almost seven years.

I emailed my regular dr about checking my adrenals but neverbheard back. I have a physical on tuesday so i will ask again then.

I also have to see my psychiatrist tomorrow. She suspects that a mood stabilizer i have heen on could be causing these symptoms...she wants to cut me back and see if some of these "hyper" symptoms improve. I am nervous about doing this because i am afraid that my mood will tank..the fun just never seems to end :(
