Can anyone please share their symptoms?

My symptoms were headaches, dizziness/vertigo, feeling like cold water being poured over my head, dark vision, tingling hands and feet, severe anxiety and feeling spaced out Sad

To cut a long story short I found it difficult to get a diagnosis in spite of a high Tsh (18.0) as ft3 and ft4 were just in range although right at the bottom. I didn't do well on thyroxine and switched to Armour which I had major problems with when I tried to increase the dose even though I was majorly hypo by then (Tsh 59.0 and below range ft3 and ft4).

Eventually I got to 2.25 grains and have been on that dose and stable without any symptoms for nearly 2 years Smile

Hope you get some help soon.

How did they help you?

They interpreted my test results and advised on doctors/medication etc. when I was having trouble raising my armour dosage they suggested different things to try. I will always be indebted to them, especially the amazing admins Smile

That's great :)
How long did it take the doc to give you medication after seeing that your levels were just in range? Sorry for all the questions.
