Ok sorry i didnt realise that you were all responding to this thread, thank you all sooo soo much for your replies. Well i do feel a little better not as tired. I did go back to my dr and he said my levels are fine i do feel like they are not now i am due to go and get another test and see, but i think that i will need to go up. I still feel tired in the morning but once i get going i am right.
Yes i do wait 40 minutes before i eat every morning and i do not take any other vitamins or anything.
I am finding that my hair is falling out really bad. I normally have really thick hair now its quite thin. is this normal? and will it stop falling out when my meds are right.
I feel the same one morning i forgot to take my tablet and by lunch time i could really tell and so i took it straight away. Its amazing how much your body really needs it hey.
Also i am only seeing my GP should i be seeing a endocrinologist????
Thank you heaps for all your help is so reasuring that others have this too:-)
Hoobley : I am on a generic brand. It is made by Sigma and it is called OROXINE. The best part about these one's is that it isn't made up in a bottle but in foil blister strips. (keeps better)
Hope that I have helped
Take care
Chris
Love my kids : For me my hair took a while to stop falling out. At the moment it is good (touch wood )
I was under a Prof at the local hospital (I was a bad case when first diagnosed) Then when I stableized I just stayed with the GP. If your tired still ask your GP to test your B12 and Iron leves when you get your next blood test.
I went to the GP today and got everything checked as my thyroid has been playing up since (and during) my pregnancy.
Chris thanks for that, unfortunately i'm in the UK and they either don't sell oroxine or they call it something else...? Here the generics vary by pharmacy in general. I'm just crossing my fingers that the next one will help. I might ask the doctor if i could have a non-generic requested but i don't know if the NHS will do that. I've been taking it badly since i moved (not skipping it but taking it too close to food/coffee) and i'm beginning to feel it (sitting here freezing and miserable that after another week on less food and more exercise i have GAINED half a kilo!) so i need to get my act together.
Hoobley: Sorry I didn't realise you were in UK. I am living in a double fog these days as I am on pain killers and am having probs with thyroid.
Have you though that your weight gain could be fluid from monthly cycle? lus when its cold the body naturaly stores more to keep warm.
I know that it is hard to loose weight especially when you have thyroid problems . Don't be too hard on yourself. Just be careful that you eat enough for your body to function. You don't need to be sick from not eating enough. Your immune system might shut down and you will catch all the bugs around. (well thats what happened to me plus I put on weight).
It's definitely related to PMT, and i need to take my drugs better (i.e. keep the proper minimum gap between them and breaky!).
I got up and went for a short run at 6am today which was good. Part of the problem is that my body has been used to running and lifting and since i moved in with DP my routine is completely gone and i'm struggling to find a new one. Hopefully running before he goes to work will help a little bit. It was very "bracing" (-1C, ice on the pavements!) this morning!
I would say your gain could be fluid retention (sp??) I put on around 4kg before my AF then it goes again. I get really bad PMT but I blame my endometriosis for that.
