Hi,
It seems to me that you are clearly hypo, and that the medication you are given is working. It also seems that you maybe caught yourself becoming hypo in an early stage, meaning you have to think yourself how you feel now compared to one year ago. Did you ever have any of the standard hypo symptoms?
Even if you are medicined right, I think hypothyroidism will give you problems some way or another. Erectile dysfunction and abdominal pain could easily be some of the symptoms. I have had all kinds of strange symptoms the last year, I also discovered I was hypo in october 2008. Still trying to get my old life back.
I am now on daily 125 mg synthetic T4. (Levothyroxin) Send me a message if you want to discuss further.
Also please post the "normal" levels when you post numbers, it makes it easier to evaluate.
I have never tried or heard of the Modlip-F medication, do you feel any effect and if yes, what?

Hi,
tsh of 3.1 is still a little high. you may benefit from a slightly higher dose of levothyroxine. And Yes, hypo can cause erectile dysfunction.
You should be testing FT3 and FT4, not T3 and T4. Also target for these is in the upper half of the reference range. TSH target is usually 1-2. Actual should also be adjusted on how you feel.
Hi,
After i starting using thyronorm 100mcg i am now feeling better in other aspects. I used to snor a lot and used to get into sleep very fast sitting in a sofa itself. Now i feel somewhat active. But as i mentioned i am facing the two problems as mentioned earlier. Do you think the other two problems are temporary or do they need any medications?
It is very hard to pinpoint all the problems that can be traced to being hypo, or if you would have had that problem if you weren't hypo. But in general, my personal opinion, is that many weird problems and symptoms, are more easily explained when it turns out that the owner of the problem(s) is hypo. Before I found out I was hypo, I was very active and energetic, but I still at that time wondered about a few things that did not feel right. For example back pain. Now looking back, most if not all of those things seem explainable and related to hypothyroid. Abdominal pain will most likely go away, erectal function could be lower permanently, but you should function better if medicined right, it could come and go in periods. Its hard to say, this is very psycological related as well.
