My first post, and I am hoping for help regarding my poor sleep, which has happened in the last 3 months despite eating plenty of good proteins, sugars and fats. I take small amounts of Cynoplus (1/4 tab three times/day) and Cynomel (1/4 tab nibbled through the day.) My labs are all fine....TSH 0.01 T3 in upper range, T4 in lower range. My temps have improved from 96.2 F to 97.3 F in the mornings. In the afternoons, temp peaks at 97.8. Pulse is 75-80. Calories are about 3000/day, and I am 57 years old and female.
I am having a terrible time getting to sleep. I feel wired, can feel my heart beat (80) and cannot calm to sleep. When i do finally crash, I wake easily, and again struggle to go back to sleep.
Things I have tried....salt and sugar in milk before bedtime, Cyproheptadine 2mgs, red light, daily sunshine, aspirin and niacinamide. Nothing I have tried has helped.
I am SO tired, and have gained weight. I seem to have lost some of my muscle strength when working with (light) weights at the Gym. I do not look forward to my bed anymore at night time...it feels like a battleground!
Does this sound like a stress reaction, OR hypothyroidism? Or both??
