New labs
These labs are after being on 120mg dessicated thyroid for about 2 weeks.
TSH .006 (.35-4.5)
FT4 .99 (.89-1.8)
FT3 3.7 (2.3-4.2)
Ferritin 22 (10-291)
Vit. D 64 (30-89)
Even though my FT3 is on the high end, I still feel bad and have hypo symptoms (constipation, no period, fatigue, heavy lower eyelids, dry hair, swollen feeling in neck, difficulty focusing).
As I mentioned in a previous post, my doc thinks it's a pituitary problem and wants me to stop taking thyroid meds for 2 weeks and get new labs, including cortisol.

No, it just means that the lower part of my eye feels heavy (as opposed to my upper eyelid). It's a common symptom, I've heard of it before.
What were you on before the 120 mg dessicated? And what did your labs look like then? How long have you been on thyroid meds altogether?
Sunshine, what does "heavy lower eyelids" mean? Do you have puffiness or dark circles too? Haven't heard of that symptom before.
