New Symptoms Post TT

[Minicooper723]

Lately I have been having new symtpoms and was wondering if this is normal post TT.  I'm 5 weeks post-op and I've started having diarrhea several times a day, very and I do mean very frequent urination, flushed face, sensitivity to cold, dry hair with hair loss and weight loss.  Can someone please tell me if they've had these symptoms.  I don't see my endo until October 22nd with blood work in the 15th.  Thanks!

Why not ask if you can raise the T4 med to 37.5mcg?( 3/4 of a 50mcg tablet)
Thats what I did when 25mcg wasnt enough and 50mcg was too much.
OR you can try 25mcg one day and 37.5mcg the next .....alternating the doses.
A bit of mucking around but well worth the effort.

I'm on 25mcg of synthroid, she tried me on 50mcg right after the surgery and I started having horrible chest pains, insomnia and heart palpations.  She said that I was extremely sensitive to synthroid and that we would have to increase the dose slowly.
Thanks everyone for the input, this board is a life saver in dealing with thyroid problems.

Definitely signs of hypo. Some people get over active bowels instead of under active. I would take a stab and say you are either not on any meds yet or are on too low a dose.
It is not normal to have all those symptoms and I would call the endo and just have a chat to ask the question that you are having these symptoms and would it be a good idea to get the blood draw earlier. Most endos will be happy to chat to you on the phone.

All the symptoms except diarrhea is predicting Hypo.....but the bowels could be working overtime due to stress.
You have had a major operation that your body needs time to recover from.
I would give the Endo a call and ask if you can have bloods sooner.
Are you on thyroxin at all?
