Ok I found out my thyroid was off after a friend told me to go to the dr. My TSH was 203!! Dr said no biggy take thyroxian it will take a while but once we find the right dose all will be good. That was 10 YEARS AGO. I started on 1 then 150 then 2 at that point I was low... so back down to 150. I moved here on 150 with at TSH that was back up to 27!! My new Dr said no problem this other brand has 175 so I was on that then 2 then back down to 175 my blood numbers were stable but my brain was somewere other than with me. I still wasn't functioning well. GP even had me on anti depression stuff for a while there but that made me feel worst so I stopped those. Oh and I gained weight lots of weight.
Any way last year I was in here and saw some one post about different brands making you feel better but blood numbers were the same on all. So I though What the heck I really need to talk him into this it's worth a try!!
My internal med guy goes for it and I get back on the first brand (there are only 2 in Canada) at 150. Start feeling better loosing weight all is good. My GP starts saying that I'm over medicated. Three months ago my TSH was 1 but my free t4's were normal my internal med guys says all is good my GP says your over medicated. I though w/e I'm sticking with him. So I then go in for my physical and she runs a ton of blood work. My GP was right all along and my TSH in now less than .05
Has any one else had this much problem getting stable blood numbers?? Everyone I have talked to around here say that it wasn't like that for them!! is it me or menopause or both.... I have to admit my family will not let me touch the thermistat any longer.
I feel like I'm going insain!! with all this up and down. This was supose to be easy!! The only good thing about this last switch is I have lost all the weight I gained when I got here!! but I guess that wasn't me but the thyroxian so.
I know I'm babbling but I need to know if anyone else has had so much problems getting everything stable. I have an appointment with my GP monday I figure she is going to yell. My next internal med appointment isn't till may!! I'm not switching brands and she can't make me, but really I don't know what to do.
So Ideas Comments and Sujestions are needed!!!
Thanks
