THYROID AND ESTROGEN REPLACEMENT
I AM DECREASING MY ESTROGEN REPLACEMENT MEDICATION ON A GRADUAL BASIS PER MY DRS ORDERS. AFTER ABOUT 2 MONTHS I SUDDENLY REALIZED THAT MY INCREASED IN JITTERINESS, SWEATING, HUNGER AND FEELING HOT MIGHT BE RELATED TO MY THRYROID MEDICATION WHICH I HAVE BEEN TAKING FOR YEARS RE TO HOSHIMOTOS AND NODULES. AND JUST HAD ALL WITHIN NORMAL RESULTS FROM MY YEARLY THYROID TESTS IN SEPT. WHAT ARE THOUGHTS ON THIS?

Forgot to mention that your profile says you're male - is it safe to assume this is not the case, since you're taking estrogen replacement?

Your symptoms could very well be related to thyroid hormones. Could you please your thyroid hormone levels as reported on your lab report from September? Be sure to include reference ranges, which vary from lab to lab and have to come from your own report. You should be getting tested for Free T3, Free T4 and TSH.
Just because labs are in the normal range, doesn't mean they are normal for you.
