On Tuesday, I got my blood results for my thyroid. All I gotta say is no wonder I'm not feeling good. My TSH was a 27.81 (normal is 1-2) & my T4 was 4.9, which is normal but leaning towards the hypo end. Oh and last month my TSH was a .34.
Today my doctor wanted to see me because of these numbers. He wants me to try Cytomel instead of Armour. I'm a little nervous cause I hate switching medicines cause I'm worried about potiential side effects. I just hope its nothing like synthroid. I probably won't start Cytomel until next week though cause I wanna feel good for my Birthday tomorrow.
Oh and the symptoms I've been having since going totally hypo. I've been SUPER tired, but can't sleep. I end up not falling asleep until 5pm w/o the help of medicine to put me to sleep. The only medicine that makes me fall asleep but makes me able to function is Xanax. Not a sleep aid but it relaxes me. Also I've been getting killer migraines which all of this I think is associated w/ my thyroid.
