Extreme muscle fatigue/burning on all thyroid meds.

Posted , 2 users are following.

I'm really struggling here. I had severe hyperthyroidism after having my little girl. I had surgery one year ago to completely remove my thyroid. Ive tried levothyroxin, liothyronine, a mix of both and several different doses. Levothyroxin turn me into a raging b*h - I can not take it at all. I will not do that to my daughter or husband. Liothyronine makes me feel like complete st and makes my nerves or muscles burn simply putting on a shirt or pants - I wont mention the horrible pain in my hip and everywhere else trying to care for my 32lb toddler. I want to die on it it causes such pain and makes me completely worthless (even with my muscle relaxers and gabapentin). I decided to try Thyrovanz. Same thing - extreme muscle or nerve pain (I think nerve pain because I've lost all my reflexes and its a burning sensation). My dr is doing his best, but I don't think he fully believes how bad the pain or rage is. I think he just thinks I'm lazy and unwilling to put in time or work. I don't live somewhere that has access to a whole bunch of drs and the ones we do have are not the best. Anyone have this same experience or any idea what I can do? I'm so desperate at this point. I just want a body thats worth living a lifetime in and to be able to have fun with my daughter. I'm so tired of all this crap!

    How was your temper before ?

    Do you have other health conditions ?

    Why are you taking muscle relaxer ?

    I had mine removed in 2012 and on Synthroid brand ever since , it was seamless for me no side effects ( aside from raging erections for the first 3 months ) I was always mild tempered.

    I didn't notice any difference form my own thyroid hormone before and Synthroid after.

    Why don't you test your hormones. Breastfeeding can affect the levels too.
