[rohit_786]

First i really appreciate everyone who are taking their time and helping people y answering their questions , specially Graves lady  her answers are really informative and always gives weapon when talk to doctors.
My recent problem , my doctor stopped levoxyl because of too much thyroid , my tsh went down to 0.002  so he stopped levoxyl (75mcg ) for 14 days , retest again now my TSH is 0.51 , FT4 0.916 and FT3 3.3 . since yestarday he wants me to take 50mc g of Levoxyl  and wants to keep that way for another 6 weeks and than test again.

I have been noticing for last 4 days even when i was not taking any  medication some blood from throat if i spit in the morning before even brush my teeth , it is not lot but still have some blood , i am feeling fatigue  , burning sensation in my feet and weight gain about 5 ponds in last 3 weeks.
I like to know my treatment is in right direction and any thoughts about blood from throat , is it could be goiter ? although no problem with swallow.

Do you happen to have the Labs reference to the levels you posted?

Next Labs  in 6 weeks will tell if your treatment is going in the right direction.

Without knowing your Labs reference range, your levels and symptoms might be suggesting adrenal fatigue.

As far as the bleeding, I would have know idea. Never read of a goiter bleeding, but then I don't know everything.  However, if bleeding has or does last a week,  I'd suggest having doctor check it out.  Its probably nothing, but my motto is, better to be safe than sorry.

Good luck.

Yes i do have lab reference for those test

TSH 0.4---4.0
FT4 0.6---1.9


The bleeding is not that mush and it only occur in the morning before brush my teeth.

What do test do you suggest for adrenal fatigue treatment.

[GravesLady]

Your doctor will know. However, normally, Cortisol and DHEA - Saliva test (adrenal hormone test) is preferred as it measures the amount of free and circulating hormones instead of the binded hormone commonly measured in blood test.


Often people who are shown to be low thyroid (hypo) and are unresponsive to thyroid therapy are suffering from adrenal fatigue as well. For these people to get well, the adrenals must be supported in addition to the thyroid.

People can experience a worsening of their low-adrenal state , if they they take thyroid hormone replacement medication, without correcting the adrenal insufficiency. As well as  experiencing  worsening of thyroid symptoms and can cause worsening of the adrenal fatigue.

Treatemt  will be determined by a combination of signs and symptoms being experienced by you in conjunction with your test results. Lifestyle Changes, Diet, Remove The Cause, Supplements and Related Conditions - There are a number of conditions that stand out as having an adrenal component which include: chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, hypoglycemia, ischemic heart disease, chronic and recurrent infections, rheumatoid arthritis, thyroid.
