Hello everyone.
Woman 62 years old, height 160 cm, weight 70 kg.
She has had sleep problems since she was young.
At ~29 years of age, Diffuse toxic goiter was diagnosed and a partial strumectomy was performed.
After removing part of the thyroid gland, she experienced symptoms such as obstetrician's fingers, weakness, poor sleep, chills.
She was diagnosed with hypoparathyroidism.
At that time, her treatment consisted of such drugs as calcium chloride, Thyrocomb (Levoteroxin 70 mcg, leothyronine 10 mcg, potassium iodide 150 mcg), as well as the drug Thyroidine (spirulin 180, l-thyrorosine 90, vit. E 45 mg, iodine 0.30 mcg, selenium 0.15 mcg)
She has been treated with T4 monotherapy for the last ~10+ years.
Current diseases:
Osteochondrosis of the cervical vertebrae.
Osteoporosis.
Varicose veins and 2 operations to remove them.
Ovarian cyst.
Polyp of the gallbladder.
A stomach ulcer, now gastritis.
Chronic pancreatitis.
Cholecystitis.
Chronic pyelonephritis
Cardiomyopathy.
Symptoms today:
Recent years have been especially stressful for her, her husband's oncology and many other problems.
Lack of sleep at night, slight lapses in sleep during the day for a couple of minutes.
At night, if she manages to fall asleep, sometimes there are nightmares, sometimes she can scream loudly in her sleep. It was recently.
Anxiety
Depressive mood.
Fear.
Bad memory.
Weakness.
Chills.
Lethargy.
Dizziness.
Medications prescribed by doctors:
Neurologist - recently, after a stronger attack of anxiety than usual, accompanied by a clearer heartbeat, she turned to a neurologist and he prescribed her:
Magnesium sulfate intravenously.
Betamax (Sulpiride)
Adep (Mirtazapine)
She has not started taking these medications yet.
One good person from this forum advised me to try pregnenolone and progesterone.
I bought pregnenolone powder from HealthNature and gave her 100mg daily and also bought Progestin (progesteron) from Haidut and gave her 40mg transdermally at a time, but no effect. Probably should try a dose of 100mg. Ray Peat says that some women do not notice any effects even from 100mg, and that in such cases, thyroid hormone and an improved diet are required to normalize estrogen prolactin and cortisol
I tried to feed her nutritiously, I also ordered pure aspirin from HealthNatura and she took occasionally 100-300mg. For every 300 mg of aspirin, she took 1 mg of K2(Mk4).
I bought from Haydut Vitamins of group B, Magnesium, Estroban (vit. A, D3, K2, E), which she also occasionally took.
Guys please tell me how to get out of this? @lampofred @CLASH @ecstatichamster @tankasnowgod @haidut @youngsinatra @David @Amazoniac @schultz @tara
What steps need to be taken?
The main task is to relieve anxiety and improve sleep.
Remove T4 and add T3? The half-life of T4 is 2 weeks?! How to make this transition? My mom is afraid to stop T4.
Or start taking antipsychotics and antidepressants (Sulpiride, Mirtazapine) on the recommendation of a neurologist?
Thank you all in advance for any help.
