I am a 57 yo female struggling with insomnia, plus palpitations and discomfort over chest area, and up into my throat. I feel wired at night, and anxious. I managed 2 hours sleep last night
I have been following a Peat approach re diet for 2 years, and was doing well. Once Cynoplus and Cytomel became unavailable,and I changed meds, the wheels fell off. I began NDT 2 months ago, 2 grains daily, in divided doses, and a few mcg T3 several times a day. After the blood tests (see below)
I increased NDT by half a grain, daily.
Blood tests Nov 15
TSH 0.11 L
T4 8.6 (9-19) L
T3 4.6 (2.6-6)
RT3 129 (140-540)
Cholesterol 6.8 (3.9-5.5) H
Trigs 1.6 (.5-1.7)
Prolactin 274 (85-500)
Diet;
2500-3000 cals. Milk,cheese, eggs, shellfish, liver, O/J, coffee,lamb,beef, fish, potatoes,ice cream, gelatin, grapes, peaches, cherries (atm).
Supplements
NDT 2.5 grains
Progestene
Theanine
Magnesium
Eggshell powder
Taurine
Temps 35.9 to 36.6 Pulse 70-78
I can't think of any more useful info. Insomnia and heart palps are my worst problems.....am I hyper or hypothyroid?
