Swing B/w Hyp and Hyper

[rohit_786]

I have been feeling so week , lot of muscles pain/joint pain  , too much fatigue . Seems like no energy in muscles even hard to type. I ran my blood test again yestarday i just got results
IN Oct 23 my TSH was 1.1 FT4 1.68  taking 100 mcg Levoxyl. Had some pain in muscles /joint pain but bearable .
Today my TSH 0.407 , FT4 1.80  taking 100mcg levoxyl . Has too much pain in muscles /joint pain /fatigue / heart rate 122 , 18, 112 average above 110 pulse/min

May be i am  going to be Hyper again. I am so tired with back and forth hyper to hypo ping pong game.

Does that sound like i am having too much levoxyl that make me Hyper , i am waiting for my doctor to call me.

When I am on a dose of 100 levoxyl, my levels fluctuate TSH  from 0.04 to 1.01. FT-4 goes out hper side too.

Went down to dose 88 and it made TSH go out of range to the hypo.

I am back to dose 100 and waiting to see where it takes my TSH level and this time I'm prepared.  I have my dosing all figured out.

You might be like me and need and in-between dose. I don't mind the fluctuation part as long as it is with in Labs range.  

I know the ping pong effect so well, been doing this 11 years.

Do you have symptoms as well like fatigue /muscles cramp /joint pains /flu like symptoms when you became Hyper ?

I told my doctor on August 27 when i was at 75mcg my TSH came back 2.9 and FT4 1.6  to change to 88mcg but he wanted to go for 100mcg based on my body mass , now i am back in Hyper . I am also stopped my Antidepressant which can also contribute lot of withdrawal symptoms
Please pray for me i am loosing my life every day

Yes, I do fatigue and need to take cat naps to rejuvenate, sometimes all day long.  Charley horses too, which I treat with calcium, potassium, bar of soap, along with all my other vitamins/minerals.
People are more susceptible to muscle cramps due to normal muscle loss (atrophy) that begins in the mid-40s and accelerates with inactivity. As we age, our muscles cannot work as hard or as quickly as they used to. Add that to thyroid and we are a mess.

Flu like symptoms and fatigue is the immune system, symptoms.

Symptoms Immune Disorder other than those related to specific diseases:
Tire easily, fatigue, dizziness, malaise (non-specific feeling of not being or feeling well), fever-very low grade temperature elevations.

Basic Good Health:  Plenty of sleep, nutrition - eat well, exercise, practice stress reduction - meditation or relaxation exercises such as yoga, etc., vitamins and mineral supplements and keep positive.

Some Nutrients That Support Immune Function:

Zinc supports the thymus gland (which trains T-cells in the immune system).

Iodine supports activity of Natural Killer cells.

Vitamin C increases antibody production.

Vitamin E with C increases T-cells, interleukin 2, and TNF.

Vitamin A normalized cell division and supports the thymus gland and antibody production.

Selenium supports T cell activity, NK cells and antibody production.

CoQ10 supports IgG antibody production.

Glutathione supports T cell activity.

B6 supports Tcells and B cells, plus 50 other enzyme reactions.

Antioxidants (plant nutrients) are important enough to have their own section:  “Antioxidants – Free Radicals”
Long list more.

Foods to avoid:
- Sugar.
- Processed food: It contains high concentrations of sugar, salt and additives
- Alcoholic drinks in excess and coffee. - Fried food because it increases the number of free radicals.
- Barbecued food is believed to contain high concentrations of carcinogens

Is that more than you wanted to know ;)

How do you differentiate Fatigue with flu like symptoms , the fatigue is symptoms Hyper or Hypo  for me if i sleep enough or take good rest i feel okay , when i say flue like symptoms i meant muscles ache /joint and bone problem  which is similar in flue also in which you feel tired /fatigue and aches in muscles also..When you are auto immune disorder which means you are in immune disorder that can give all those flue like symptoms , is this correct ?
I am trying to compare Hyper and Hypo symptoms , now that my TSH is low  i am in Hyper side which can give these symptoms which i am having these days or i may have another auto immune discorder or what .

PLease response

I am trying to compare Hyper and Hypo symptoms:

You have to go by your own body for the hyper or hyper symptoms.  You know your body best. If you have been through the ups and downs of hypo/hyper symptoms you already should know.  Your body should tell you when its off and not from hypo/hyper. Symptoms Immune non-specific feeling of not being or feeling well.  It's like you want to come down with a cold or the flu, but you never do.  When it comes to other health conditions there might be an added symptom that you have not experienced before or one that is missing that you have experienced before.  In general terms something is off.  Hypo and hyper symptoms you have to figure out yourself per your body.
I don't know how else to explain.
