I am asking for any suggestions with selenium toxicity.

I have been diagnosed with selenium toxicity.  I do take supplements.  I also have hypothyroidism.  Due to insurance change, I began taking levothyroxyn instead of synthroid.  I am experiencing extreme fatigue, inability to stay asleep, numbness in my left leg and hands, persistent eye infections.  waiting on other blood results, any one else experience this?

How long have you taken the selenium supplements and what dosage have you been taking?  Are you still taking it?

What are your thyroid hormone (Free T4 and Free T3) levels, with reference ranges?   What dosage of levothyroxine are you on and how long have you been on it?

What other blood tests are you waiting for?
