Some context:
Had a baby 5 months ago.
Last TSH check was in February which was .034
Doctor never called about results nor changed dose.
Levo dose @ 75
I have been feeling awful to say the least. I cant remember anything. I can have a conversation and if I go and start doing something else. I will completely forget we talked and cannot recall what we talked about if asked. I've been stumbling over words. Mid sentence I forget my thought/s or the word I'm trying to say.
My skin has been so dry, itchy, and painful that id rather just claw it all off. Ive been using body oils, taking cool showers, lotions, etc. to try and fix the issue. Oh and drinking TONS of water. Im so damn lubed up I'm like the greased up deaf guy off of family guy. Nothing has helped.
My mood swings have been like night and day. You catch me sideways I might fight you. This isn't me though. Im usually a very calm ans collected person.
Don't even want to talk about trying to lose weight, and gaining instead...
My hair is coming out in clumps. I naturally have very very thick hair and the amount of hair that is falling out is significant. My hair has never been this thin and im surprised I don't have bald spots.
Every so often I have heart palpitations
I feel like I've been run over by a semi. Im so so so tired, and depressed.
Im tired of doctors not listening to me. Im the reason my cancer was found a year ago because I pushed the doctor to do a biopsy on the nodules he found. They did remove the left lobe of my thyroid. Well still fighting doctors I decided to find a new one as my meds ran out 3 days ago. I asked if I could have my TSH tested before filling my script. He agreed. My TSH is 65.73! Ive always had a nurse call me with results. Nope my doc called me as soon as he got my results and asked me specifically what my symptoms were again. Mainly asking about heart palpitations.
He upped my dose on meds and had me schedule a follow up for more blood work.
I'm not crazy!!!
