Diagnosed With Hypothyroidism, Prescribed Eltroxin. Had Mirena Removed. Feeling Tired, Insomnia And Constipation. Suggest?
Hi, I am 29 years old and just over a year and a half ago, I was diagnosed with Hypothyroidism. My doc prescribed 0.5 mg Eltroxin which worked wonderfully. I started to feel myself again,I lost the weight I put on when I was pregnant. Then 3 months ago, I had the Mirena removed because it caused more havoc with my body and cycles than helped. Now, 3 months later, I am back to feeling tired, weak, I've put on 4 kgs, suffering insomnia and constipation, basically all the symptoms I've had prior to the thyroid meds and just over a week ago, I have been leaking breast milk even though I stopped nursing my son 2 years ago and am not pregnant. What is going on with my body?
