I have dizziness too..

[Carla_P]

I read several posts on dizziness and thyroid.  I have suffered severe symptoms for two years.  Stopped Cytomel and thought my dizziness subsided.  But while we were raising my syntroid (levothyroxin) back up to previous levels, I experienced serious dizziness again.  I have had EVERYTHING checked...ears (maniers), MRI of my head, EKG, full on stress test with radioactive isotopes, and everything is normal. I am otherwise perfectly healthy and experiencing dizziness.  We can't get my synthroid dose up to where it needs to be without my experiencing severe symptoms.  I take 137 mcg and am still below normal levels.  I was on 175 mcg before all of this started.  I am seeing an endocrinologist now.  She has just been working on my levothyroxin dosage.  I'll bring these posts to my next appt.

I have to continue with some form of thryoid.  I am thinking the procine version (armour) may be a solution.  I took it years ago and only had palpatations.  It's that or stay on too low of a dose of levothyroxin.

Anyways..I just wanted the other patient to know I have been through it all the same way the past two years.

I am curious if anyone else has complained othese symptoms.

sounds like u need to take a saliva test to see how ur adrenals are, a blood test is one snapshot and too wide range. Also low iron/ferritin will do this and a couple of other things discussed in the following site.
Look up 'adrenal fatigue' on the Stop the Thyroid Madness site.
