After having radioactive iodine some time ago I started on Levothyroxine in March of this year. Since then I have had nothing but problems. The first few weeks I was just ill and since then my insomnia and increased appetite are becoming a real problem for me.On my last visit to see the consultant at my local hospital my bloods showed that I needed to increase my medication, because I was having so much problems with T4 my consultant agreed to trial me on a combination of T4 and T3 but the symptoms just got out of control. I went back to my GP and it was agreed that I returned to just 50mg of T4 but although I am not as bad as before I am still having problems with insomnia and appetitie increase. I know I have to take this medication, but it can't be good for anyone to have to cope with 3 hours sleep each night. I know I can't. To make matters worse i am my husband's carer and also look after my two grandson's twice per week. Has anyone else had these problems and been able to over come them????

By the way the list of things you do wore me out just reading it - can you try and reduce it a bit if you're feeling poorly? Perhaps have your grandsons once a week?
