Hi guys, I've been diagnosed hypothyroid Hashimoto's in October and have been taking synthetic T4 since. My TSH is now close to 1 however I'm still experiencing fatigue brain frog and anxiety.
I am very skinny and can't put on weight even on 3000+ calories/day. My digestion is very messed up and I'm freezing cold all the time + I absolutely need to eat every couple of hours or else I'm feeling dizzy and weak, kind of like hypoglycemia. I have mood swings during the day and feel depressed. I wake up during the night around 2/3 o'clock every night. I also have lots of random food allergies. I'm struggling with mouth ulcers and eye floaters something I never experienced in my life before. I'm starting to feel a bit hopeless. I wake up feeling exhausted and can't function if I don't nap in the afternoon, sometimes for up to 4 hours. All of this sounds strange to me as my TSH is back to normal and I'm avoiding PUFAs and am eating a pro metabolic diet with lots of carbs enough protein and fat.
I know for sure that I am/was hypothyroid but could it be something else like adrenal fatigue as well? I have never experienced what are often described as traditional symptoms of hypothyroidism (constipation, weight gain, etc)
nothing seems to work in regards to my weight, ice-cream butter cheese etc...
Should I get my cortisol level tested?
Could pregnenolone help with my issues ? I'm a bit scared of pregnonelone to be honest !
Thank you for your time, the insights and resources on the forum are truly amazing.
