Hello Group,
I've got a couple of issues that I hope you kind folks can give me insight
on. I have been diagnosed hypo since 1985. Med regiment has been pretty
consistent at .2 mcg synthroid this whole time with some periodic tweaking.
I am experiencing perimenopause. I started using a compounded
progesterone cream (50 mg/ml, using 1cc daily) in early November to offset
those symptoms. At that time my synthroid was prescribed at .25 mcg daily.
I have been fairly ill (upper respritory) since the beginning of
December. I have bimonthly bloodwork done for the thyroid. I am overly
concerned with my last tsh readings. December 28 my tsh reading was
276.32. I had the bloodwork retested December 29 and the tsh came in at
272.46. The most hypo reading I have ever had is 38.
I saw an internist this last week who has prescribed my synthroid to
increase to .5 mcg with .50 mg cytomel added to the mix.
I suspected the progesterone cream as my research has mentioned the blend
of soy and wild yam. Alas, the compounding pharmacy uses strictly the wild
yam so the progesterone cream has been taken out of the mix. This is
ashame as I found great benefit to the cream.
I am concerned not only with the obscene tsh level but also the drastic
increase in meds. Has anyone experienced this? Is anyone aware of a list
dedicated to these particular issues?
Needless to say, I am a mess. Any and all comments are welcome.
Sharon
