In reply to Officially Nuts That's Me What To Do I'm Serious, posted by Phillipa on November 10, 2008, at 13:38:17
> I think I'm officially nuts seriously. I've cut down on benzos as so tired almost fall asleep after couple hours up. Down to 10mg valium and .25 xanax bedtime. Then wake in four hours 2.5 valium . Used to be 20mg valium bed and .5 xanax and the when woke 5mg valium. So shouldn't I be more awake? Only take 50mg of luvox at bedtime. Thyroid was changed again today from 50mcg twice a week and 100mcg 5 days a week to 50mcg six days a week and 100 one day a week. Can't remember a thing. I want in my mind to do so many things. And then can't. My bike rides I can hardly make anymore. I've seen the internist all blood work okay. Don't know the endos thyroid numbers but internists were TSH .655 Free T41.70 which top of normal. Now new endo ones don't have numbers but he made the change. I have to do things. My husband thinks I'm a fake and making up excuses. But somethings wrong I'm not depressed as so much I want to do. Any thoughts as seriously I know my body. What was intense anxiety is now tiredness and pushing myself to do the necessities of life which believe me isn't much. Thanks Phillipa sorry to complain yet again
You've already made up your mind that all your problems are thyroid related. So if that's correct than adjusting your thyroid should solve all your problems.
Sometimes one has to think outside the box and admidt to other possibilities. You know you could be a woman who has thyroid problems and is also depressed. We all want to do a lot of things but the mind is not willing. Seems like depression to me.
Has your bloodwork shown any abnormalities outside of thyroid?
Also the fact that all your problems seems to have started when your thyroid problems started doesn't mean that after all these years there aren't other issues.
Also you yourself posted an article how some people who had your type of thyroid disease often still needed ad's for a complete recovery.
You have tinkered with just about every dosage of thyroid for years without a remission.
Perhaps it's time for you to think outside of the box. The fact that your neighbor and other people have done better without ads just might not be relevant to your case.
You yourself have admidted that years ago you had a robust response to high dose luvox. mmm maybe that could happen again?
