Tired And Frustrated And Still Not Feeling Well

[Sharon326]

Hi I am 46 years old, was diagnosed hypothyroid 5 years ago after 3 years of unexplained weight gain, hair loss and exhaustion, etc... last year I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's Disease and about a month ago I was told to try a gluten free diet although my blood test were negative, I have close family members who have Celiac

My body's a bit crazy - but had a lot of pain and other issues that sound somewhat similar. I just answered another thread about what happened in my case, in case it helps, and I'll just link to that!

Good luck - I hope that someone here has the answers that match your need so you can start to feel better!

Not everyone does well on only Synthroid. Has your endocrinologist looked at your free T3 and reverse T3? You may need cytomel to get rid of your hypothyroid symptoms if you've been a month on Synthroid and your TSH is properly suppressed.

Thanks everyone. I have been away for a few days and am finally getting a chance to check back in. I appreciate that you took the time to respond.

I think there may be somethimg to the Vitamin D overdose thing. So I think I will cut back.

I'm also thinking of seeing an allergist to see if there might be something else making me feel so badly.

As for my Thyroid,I think I've tried every Thyroid med on the planet...although my levels are in the "good range" I have never felt any relief nor lost any of the wieght I gained. I can always tell when my anit-bodies are on the attack as I get severe anxiety and gain a little more wieght...My endo does want me to go back onto the Cytomel. I didn't like the way it made me feel the last time I tried it. I became very nervous, I get that way on Armor Thyroid as well...I think I will go back on Cytomel to see if I can tolerate it better.
