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.

      Worsening vision 🕵🏽‍♀️

      By trents · Posted

      Vitamin A is important for vision health. But be careful in supplementing it as it can lead to toxicity. Research it and consult with your medical professional. I do not have a definite answer to your original question but I was pursuing the possible cause of nutritional deficiency. But your visual deterioration could be unrelated to your celiac disease so don't rule that out.

      Currently 19. Doctors think I was 1 year old when celiac started, but I wasn't diagnosed until 18, because they didn't do lab work on minors. I've been on a strict gluten-free diet for 14 months now. For example only certified gluten-free nuts and I've researched best brands a lot. I take B vitamins, vitamin D, vitamin C, Curcumin with black pepper, black sesame and green tea extract, magnesium, iron, and a little selenium and zinc, beef liver capsules. I recently had my vitamin and mineral levels retested and D is the only one I don't have enough of now. I had my eyes tested at 17 and they were good back then.

      Awaiting dermatitis herpetiformis confirmation following biopsy

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Not everyone with dermatitis herpetiformis needs to avoid iodine. DH is caused by gluten exposure, but iodine can worsen or trigger flares in a subset of people, especially when the rash is active or not yet controlled by a strict gluten-free diet. Some people react to iodized salt, seaweed, shellfish, or iodine supplements, while others tolerate normal dietary iodine without problems. In most cases, iodine restriction is individualized and often temporary, not a lifelong rule for everyone.

      Questions: How old are you now? How long ago were you diagnosed as having celiac disease? Do you practice a strict gluten-free diet? Are you taking vitamin and mineral supplements to offset the nutrient malabsorption issues typical of celiac disease and if so, can you elaborate on what you are taking?

      My vision was good as a teen and now has gotten worse in the last year. Could that be caused by my celiac disease?🤓😎🥸👓🕶️
