Update to increase
Okay, so here's another update but not a great one :(. So, last update, my doctor upped my dose of Synthroid to 112mcg daily.... I decided to opt to have my tubes tied as I'm not getting younger and I have a unique situation to my marriage. I had my surgery on Saturday (July 23). I have felt nothing but woozy, dizzy, and like crud since. However, on Sunday after surgery, I got a serious dizzy spell so off to the ER I went. I thought it might be surgery related. Turns out my thyroid levels crashed, plummeted, and went severely hypo! WHAT? How? I have no idea. My Free T4 went from being at 1.4 to 1.0 and my TSH jumped to 11.4!!! NO wonder I feel like crud. The weakness in my muscles has started.... and I can't differentiate if it's my thyroid levels or the surgery or both or what that is causing all my misery now. So, I saw my endo AGAIN on Monday and he upped me to 125 mcg daily now and it's wait and see again. I will keep you posted.

I understand it\'s best to keep the thyroid levels as correct as one can get it before any surgery is done. It\'s having the surgery done which will have an effect on thyroid either hypO or hypER. I hope the unique situation resolve and I will keep you in my thoughts.

Aw... thanks. My levels were just about perfect just before surgery but I had a slight increase in the synthroid. It\'s the after surgery that I\'m having issues with :(
