Open Question: Am I taking to much Cytomel to start? .125MG and 25mcg cytomel. Feeling hyper and hot flashes?
I had been battleing Graves for several years and because of nodule changes and symptoms I had it removed in May this year. A small spot of Cancer was found and Endo put me on 0.15MG of Levothyroxin after surgery. I have many Hypo symton still, the worst, being a woman is I am losing my hair and have small bald spots on my head now.
I had Horrible hemorraging in August and large cysts were removed from my Uterus and now I have a large Cyst in one of my breast, both fibercystic.
I have beeen researching on the Internet and found Fibercystic Disease and many Thyroid like symptoms can also be Adrienal Gland deficiencies, mainly a Iodine deficieny.
I have come to find that my endo is a big T-4 believer and if you fall with in the range, all is good and no other methods or changes needed, retest in 6 months.
This week I went back to my Family Doc loaded with info and asked him to look at other therapies. He reduced my T-4 to .125mg and added 25MCG of Liothyron.
He agreed to run lab work on my T-3, Adrienal Glands, Sex Hormones among many other tests.
I am very excited that he was open to adding T-3 and willing to look into Adrienal gland deficienies and Iodine defiecienies. I can’t wait to get these tests back to see if there is any links to my symptoms.
I am rather upset with myself that I went 3 or 4 years with Graves and I didnt take the time to research my treatment, I just did what my Endo said.
I really didnt feel good on this dosing on day one so I cut the Cytomel in half, 12.5mcg a day but still on the new dosing I am having heart palpitations, hotflashes, mood swings, not really feeling so great.
