update on old post

[rikkitick]

I posted last year and haven't read the posts in a while. I thought  I would quickly tell you where I am now. Basically in the exact same place. Daily morning anxiety that lasts until mid afternoon. After that, feel pretty normal. I have had a thyroid problem for forty or so years due to the beginning of a goiter. For thirty plus years taking synthroid 100 took care of everything. About ten years ago I developed this morning anxiety, and for the exception of a few months here and there because of knee replacements and other operations (I guess the pain took the place of anxiety) I have had it EVERY morning. My thyroid has fluctuated horribly for the past eight or so years and is still doing so. I have a physical in two weeks and am going to request a trial on Armour. Needless to say it gets me down horribly. It mainly affects my stomach, so I find it hard to eat in the morning. So...same ol' same ol'. Hope some of you are better.

hi  Laura,
My last TSH, T3, T4 showed a slightly below norms being used now in all three. I take Tarka for blood pressure, tylenol plus codeine for pain (two knee replacements) ambien to sleep. My new script provider switched me to generic syntroid  and I think I feel the difference. I will talk about all of this to doc in two weeks. Will live through the mornings until then . I'm going to ask him to add anything to my blood work that could affect anxiety, like estrogen, cortisol,etc. Hope I can find an answer that is physical, because the symptoms are so very consistent.
Thanks for the interest.

Any update on your most recent lab results?
What other meds are you taking?
Do you still have a goiter? When did you last have an ultrasound done?
