Lets see.. I was diagnosed with Hashimotos about
5 years ago. Ive been on
numerous medications and have had hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism off and
on. I cant remember the exact medications and dosages. Anyways for the past
few months Ive been treated for hyperthyroidism. The doctor put me on Methimazole
10mg for a few months and about
two months ago I went back in for blood work and it showed that my levels are starting to get
back down to normal. Again I didn't ask for the exact lab values because I
really don't understand them and I just figured I'll go along with what the
doctors say. He told me to cut my dosage in half and come back in six weeks
for moreblood work. I should be getting results soon.
My current medication is 5mg of Methimazole, 10 mg of Lexapro and Yasmin.
My current symptoms are the following:
> Weight Gain

> Look like im 6 months pregnant somedays worse than others.. its not so bad if i dont eat

> Exhausted beyond exhaustion

> Itching spells (legs, arms and head (feels like I have bugs in my head)
