I'm not getting anywhere right now with thyroid. It is winter, true, but sunny, and not too cold. I'm also very busy and stressed. But depressed, emotional, overwhelmed out of proportion. Fat gain. Poor sleep.
From tiny beginnings 3.5 months ago my dose rose steadily (raised according to pulse and symptoms) and is now 30mcg t3 in 6 doses, and 12 mcgT4 @ night. I take Tertroxin and diotroxin.
I associate high pulse and anxiety with excess T3; and descent into more hypo symptoms with excess T4 or insufficient T3. I also read that hair loss is a common symptom of too little T4 to T3 so I watch for that: nothing.
My question: are there other signs that might tell me if I'm taking too much/little of T4 or T3? My symptoms seem all hypo yet T3 at relatively high levels isn't helping. Once or twice I took even more than 30mcg. Up to 45mcg. Nothing. Before, I'd have felt it immediately.
Should I take more T3? I'm wary of T4 as my body doesn't handle it well.
Umm - that's two questions! :?
Thanks for reading.
