I dread going to and from work at tme moment because of it. If I'm not feeling sick, I'm shattered, don't want to eat but still put weight on, and just ache
Look up Postpartum Thyroiditis and see if that fits.
I dont have any other medical issues, am 27 years old and 5 months postpartum, I went to my PCP because I thought with the nausea I was having that I was pregnant aagain but that was negative and am still feeling nauseous sometimes. I dont feel very fatigued either, other than having a 5 month old who still doesnt sleep through the night. I did talk to another nurse practitioner that I know who thought it was a bad idea to take synthroid with my lab levels and not having symptoms. I kind of think it could be my hormones still being abnormal postpartum, I am just going to wait it out for a little while. Thanks for the info.
Results--that is actually the only result I don't have because I was in the hospital. I have all of my other results--they just copied them for me. I was very ill in a toxic state. My thyroid died that week. After that, I have been on Levothyroxine and have had no problems.
For anyone who says that generic thyroid hormones don't work:
Yes, fillers can vary; however, I have had no problems with my dose--at all. I would always try the cheap stuff first--I pay eighty four cents every month for Levothyroxine--with insurance.
I would get a second opinion because you are still in the normal range. Perhaps something else is causing the nausea? Do you have any cardiac issues? Vitamins on an empty stomach? Iron pills? Pregnant? You could have other hormone imbalances.
I hope you figure out what is causing your nausea.
My TSH was actually normal, but on the low side of normal, my t4 was a little low and my PCP wants me to take synthroid and I am worried it would make me go hyperthyroid. What was your TSH level when you were extremely hyperthyroid, if you remember?
I felt that way when I was extremely hyperthyroid so I guess you could feel that way if your are very low in thyroid hormones.
