My Name Is Fran Braswell, And I Live In Atlanta,
My name is Fran Braswell, and I live in Atlanta, Georgia. I am 48 years old.
I have a number of health problems from psychiatric, colon, kidney and thyroid problems.
A couple of weeks ago, I went to see my endocrinologist. I had been taking Synthroid 112 mgs Monday-Saturday and 150 mgs on Sunday. He decided to change it to 112 mgs Monday - Saturday and 1/2 of the 112 mgs on Sunday. He did some blood work and stated that he would get back in touch with me. I never heard from him and left several messages on his nurse's voicemail to call me back. I never got a response.
I was referred to my gastroenterologist by my primary care doctor, and he did some blood work and it came back showing that my TSH level was 0.015 and my T-4 was 1.57. I was told to follow up with my endocrinologist. Since, I was having such bad luck with my endocrinologist, I have been referred to a different endocrinologist, and I see her next Wednesday.
I am extremely fatigued and sleep probably 12-13 hours a day. I get irritable easily (but I just thought that might be related to my psychiatric problems), when I brush my hair, some of my hair is falling out and I have a cold intolerance. I wear long sleeves to bed at night. I keep a heater beside my bed so that I can stay warm and I wear long sleeved sweaters during the day to keep me warm.
Can you help me out?
