Diagnosed with under active thyroid 3 yrs ago kept under control with 50mg I gave up smoking about 7mths ago and was tired constantly all the symptoms of thyroid had some bloods done and levels come back as 13.8 and 13.7 on 75mg now and retest 3mths feel twrriable
I'm 44 and think maybe pre menopausal Aso, oh the joys 😂 just looking for some advise as put on so much weight and really want to shift it, I did lose about 3 stone before on paleo diet and I was hypothyroidism hen but mess must have been at a decent level and I did smoke at that point, you think giving up would have helped but made things worst, anyone else experienced this problem?
Sound like my case had hypo for 6 yrs now took my gps 3 yrs to finaly put me on levo. Started 50mmg now on 70mmg feel much better but do get days were feel hypo. My heart rate goes form 50 to 120 at rest. Problem sleeping or staying a sleep. But my problem started with hives had to take antihistamine dont know if that had anything to do with thyroid problem and me to I gave up smoking 3 yrs before falling ill. Hope that helps
What tests came back at those 2 levels and what was the range. Hope you had more tests besides those 2. Nicotine is a stimulant so fatigue can be a sign of withdrawals and smoking can influence T4 to Free T3 conversion.
