Negative symptoms

[Paus]

Problem about my dosage & experiencing a lot of negative reaction like shakiness (hands,foot,head), sometimes, insomnia, correct me if im wrong about this symptoms a lower back pain, & a lite involuntary muscle movement.
I take 150mcg for 3yrs never been decreased my dose since i started to take 150mcg (Thyrax).

my endocrinology advise me that if im going to decrease my dose might not feel well & another signs of hypothyroid symptoms.my dr. told me 150mcg is my regular dose, & i am very curious about my FT4 since i became hypothyroid my FT4 is always high -->  FT4 result 24.77 normal range 11.5-23.0pmol/L TSH result  2.29 normal range 0.27-3.75u|U/m|.

The causes of my hypothyroidism RADIOACTIVE.

Make sure that is Free T3 and Free T4, not Total T3 and Total T4. In addition, be aware that the ranges for Free T3 and Free T4 are too broad.  If your Free T3 test result falls in the lower end of the range, that is often associated with being hypothyroid.  Many of our members report that symptom relief for them required that Free T3 was adjusted into the  upper third of its range and Free T4 adjusted to around the midpoint of its range.

Keep in mind that a good thyroid doctor will treat a hypo patient clinically as I described above.  If you want to confirm what I've said, this is a link to a letter written by a good thyroid doctor for patients that he consults with from a distance.  The letter is sent to the Primary doctor to help guide treatment.

I agree with doering that it seems that you have become hyper.  Your FT4 is too high due to your dosage of T4 meds.  It does not need to be anywhere near that high.  Midrange would be far better, with your Free T3 then being adjusted as necessary to relieve symptoms. So the first thing you need to do is lower the dosage.  The second thing you need to do is to get tested for Free T3.  FT3 is the most important because it largely regulates metabolism and many other body functions.  Scientific studies have also shown that it correlated best with hypo symptoms, while FT4 and TSH did not correlate at all.

A good thyroid doctor will treat a hypo patient clinically by testing and adjusting FT3 and FT4 as necessary to relieve symptoms, without being constrained by resultant TSH levels.  Symptom relief should be all important, not just test results.  To get this done, the first thing you need is to be tested for Free T3, along with the FT4 and TSH.  You should make sure that happens every time you go in for testing..

It sounds to me like you dosage is to high and you are experiencing symptoms of hyperthyroidism which are shakiness, insomnia, loose stools and lots of energy. I would get a Thyroid Panal done which is bloodwork and check my numbers with the normal range. Sometimes you have to investigate on your own and if you feel you need to lower your dosage then speak to the doctor about that if they dont want to then check with another doctor. Physicians are suposed to worry about youa nd how you feel. I AM NOT a doctor, however, I do have hypothyroidism and I check my bloodwork every six months to a year and make sure my meds are right. It is my health. Goodluck
