About a a month in a half ago my doctor switched me to a different dose. My numbers are now high and different from my last labs, but I continue to feel the same. I have been feeling with a better mood after the switch, however my headaches don't go away, and allergies, constipation are the same.
Back in November I had these results, I was taking 2 grains of NT and something like 30 mg of Cytomel. I felt very nervous and anxious and could not concentrate, I had constipation, hair loss, bleeding before period, and headaches:
TSH: 0.01 0.4-4.50
Free T4: 0.8 0.8-1.8
Free T3 4.2 2.3 -4.2
Reverse T3: 28 11-32
I started then taking 100 Synthroid and 2 and 1/4 grains NT. After a month in this dose:
TSH: 0.01 0.4-4.50
Free T4: 2.2 0.8-1.8
Free T3: 5.2 2.3 -4.2
reverse: 58 11-32
I actually I started to feel a little better on this dose, my mood above all and sleeping a little better, but my constipation and headaches continued (and bleeding before periods). I don't get relief no matter what I do, it seems. My doctor decreased my dose, of course, but I told him, that in the past my numbers went up very quickly, but after some months they start to drop on a same dose. He only then decreased the 1/4 NT and I am taking 100 Synthroid and 2 grains of NT. He wanted to decrease more. My numbers are out of the whack, I know, but I feel better than when I was trying to increase my T3 only, because of reverse T3 to high.
Also, probably the ratio in NT of T3 and T4 is a little to high. I mean too much T3 in it. Synthroid increased my free T3 naturally.
Why do you think I do not get relief on my symptoms? should I wait more, maybe in some more months I will see a difference? the migraines are the worst part of it, started when hypo (when numbers started to drop) and have not stopped. Thanks.
