I started 1/4 grain of thyroid-s three days ago as I have every symptom of hypothyroidism. My pulse is around 55 BPM, temps don't go above 36.6c, I have regular adrenaline spikes, extremities are always cold etc.
I seem to have had quite a strange reaction. Since initiation, I have felt very dizzy, my balance has been poor, I have developed some speech issues, I've had a chronic low level headache with some intracranial pressure, and I feel slightly nauseous.
My temps have risen quite significantly since starting. Earlier today I took an underarm temp of 37 c, which is the first time I've ever seen an optimal reading in ~2 years of taking my temps. My extremities, especially my feet, reamined cold, however.
I've been monitoring my pulse, blood pressure and temps throughout, and all seem fine.
Resting heart rate: 65 - 75 BPM
Waking temp since starting: 35.8 - 36.2 c
Evening temps since starting: 36.5 - 37 c
Blood pressure: 125-135/60-75
The only times these change is if I have an adrenaline spike, which happens 4-5 times each day.
I'm struggling to decide if this is from the thyroid hormone itself, or some form of reaction to the thyroid-s pills. Various people have reported allergic reactions, and the pills have an insane amount of additives.
Anyone got an ideas as to why I'm experiencing these issues? The fact that my temps have improved and I feel warmer does seem to suggest that I do have a thyroid issue, but I don't want to keep taking this NDT if it's causing damage. All thoughts are appreciated.
