Can dessicated thyroid cause anxiety?
I'm not sure what's going on here. A couple weeks ago I saw a naturopath and she started me on dessicated thyroid. I noticed no change. My morning basal temperature has been consistently low.
But yesterday I got into a legal tangle (unrelated) and was very upset. Last night I could not sleep at all. This almost never happens to me. I've had insomnia only a handful of times in the past and even then, have managed to fall asleep by 4 am. Last night I watched the clock till about 5:30 am then slept only 20 - 30 minutes and bounded out of bed wide awake before 6:00 am. Today I've felt particularly anxious all day. I am in the midst of some real stress but I'm usually a more slow, non-energetic person.
Could it be the dessicated thyroid? I should feel very sleepy right now but I don't. Oddly, my fingers and toes are cold right now and they usually aren't. Should I stop taking this stuff? Maybe I accidentally took an extra dose yesterday? Maybe it's unrelated? Any ideas?
