I stay away from soy and all goitrogens. I use organic brown rice protein powder several times a day. All my food is organic now and free from additives or weird ingredients, have become as pure as possible.
I have lots of my dessicated meds still so I think I will just go back to them and go back on 185mg although that was when my problems started...
I wish I knew why my thyroid changed in the first place. I had been on 185mg of dessicated for a long time, years, and had blood work done in Dec 2010 which showed my levels to be normal...so they told me. And I felt good and was losing weight, had more energy, life was good. But then at some point into 2011, I lost my energy, became droopy and lifeless and gained all the weight back that I had lost and more. Yet I was still just as active despite having no energy, I forced myself. And I was still eating the same way, pretty healthy. By Sept 2011 I was so tired of feeling so blah and fat so I gave up sugar...after 2 months, I still had no change and also was noticing a swelling of my upper stomach on and off so I went gluten free. But after a month of gluten free, nothing had changed. That is when I had my thyroid testing and was told it was TSH 10.1 but I just do not know when it changed, or why it changed.
I upped my meds at that point to 245mg but felt no different, still blah, and after 6 weeks my doc said my levels showed me to be hyper. I had no hyper symptoms though. So I was desperate at that point and switched to eltroxin which is a different version of synthroid I believe. A synthetic med, which I had avoided for years but the doctor hates dessicated and finally pushed me off.
Now I am still lethargic, miserable and 15lbs heavier despite my ultra healthy eating!!
I am so upset and depressed...please someone help me.
