hashimotos

hi,

i have hashimotos for 12yrs .

i was wondering if anyone else with hashimotos is experiencing anxiety/panic attacks
and / or pains in their legs?

Hashimoto's is autoimmune hypothyroidism. The symptoms you are experiencing very well could be issues.

Do you follow your labs tests? Are you able to post them? Along with the labs - do you know the dosage of meds you are on in corralation with those labs?

tks yr reply .

i had a recent follow up tsh blood test in november which showed tsh 2.40
( i live in greece so i don't know if you can tell if its ok or not).

i also had a ultrasound of the thyroid which showed no nodules or anything.

my endo only takes me take tsh testing nothing else.

i take levothyroxine 0.1 x 5 days.

You could do well with a dose increase. It is recommended to have a TSH of 0.5-2.0, preferably closer to 1.

Is your doctor willing to slightly increase the dose?
