I am on .50 mg synthroid for the last 5 years. Prior to that, no meds for several years, and before that, PTU for hyperthroidism. In past 6 months, I am having hot flushes and wondering if it is menopause (I'll be 50 this year) or if I need to reduce my synthroid dosage. Am getting blood test this week to check TSH level. I also feel confused, like cotton is in my head, and am having difficulty remembering anything and I am slow to get things done. It's causing me to lose confidence at work, and I'm very concerned about figuring out how to remedy the situation and get my edge back. I own a business and have done very well up until recently, but now I'm struggling to remember what work I need to do. I'd like to hear from business women who have experience with this.
