I have hypothyroidism. I’ve been taking synthyroid for 5 months. Doc. says my TSH is normal. I still have symptoms. I’ve had a mysterious case of tendinitis (tennis elbow) that has persisted for over a year. It goes from one elbow to another and makes a crunching sound when I bend it palm down. I’ve read that hypothyroidism can cause inflammation and that treatment should relieve the tendinitis. I am still tired, mood swings, and experience symptoms of hypoglycemia(not sure if it’s related) after eating foods high in carbs (palpation’s, lose of sight when I stand up, falling asleep and extreme irritability), despite a normal blood glucose after eating. Anyone out there have any insight? Should I use the natural thyroid or try to get a rx for a T3 in addition to my T4? I’m batting my brains out looking for an answer.
