Hi! Maybe someone can help me? 26 years old woman in Sweden. Have been sick since I was 13. Much worse since 5-6 years. Started with intestinal problems (constipation, sever reflux and IBS, prolapsed rectum, colostomy, now bacterial overgrowth, extreme bloating, indigestion, malabsorption, motility problems). I had menstrual problems since I got my first period. First extremely heavy bleedings and then amenorrhea for 8 years. Got my period back 2 years ago, with heavy bleedings, PMS, pain, ovulation problems, fibrocystic breast etc. My progesterone is like 0 and also my testosterone, but my estrogen is "normal". I hate the estrogen right now.. When it starts to raise around day 10 (sometimes earlier) I start feel like a hell and it goes on until my period starts, or rather until I have had my period... (and then everything starts again).
I have a lot of other problems. ME/CFS is the diagnosis, and my blood tests also shows central hypothyroidism (lab tests have been the same for many years, doesn't matter what I eat or do, and also my temps and pulse) My TSH is between 1-2, my t4 at most 10 (ref 12-23) and t3 in the bottom of the range or under the reference range. My resting heart rate is around 50 and my temp is sometimes 36,6-36,7 in the morning (but then I have had a lof night sweating), during the day my highest temp is 36,4.
I have extreme fatigue and lactic acid in muscles, extreme air hunger, shortness of breathing day and night, mucle pain, joint pain, lot of neurological symptoms (nerve pain, numbness, tingling etc), headache, chronic infections, eczema, increasing allergies, face edema, inflammation etc. I can't nearly stand on my legs some days. The breathing problems makes everything hard - eating, sleeping, lie down, sitting, walking..
I have improved my diet in a Peat style, I eat a lot more. Doctors gave my levothyroxine, also liothyronine, but everytime I try it it's like my thyroid shut down. I feel ten times more hypothyroid. Cold, pain, can't breath, losing my hair and my eyebrowns, depressed. Liothyronine totally knocks me down in a short while. I had a little bit more success with Nutrimeds thyroid, but still the side effects.
Progest-e raises my estrogen a lot when I try it. I have tried really high doses too. I don't know what happens, but my shortness of breathing gets unbearable after a short while after taking it. My breast get more sore and everything get worse. Maybe I just have to go on and hope the hormones get balanced after a while..
I wonder if someone knows why this happen with thyroid meds and progest-e? Any idea?
