Hey Vicki
You sound like me, I think your tsh are very high....shouldn't they be under 3 or so?I too have the crying jags for no reason, my dr put my on estrogen and progesterone about 2 months ago, but yet every month at that "time" I get the cramps, witchiness and cravings like crazy. I see him on friday and will insist on a full blood work up to see what is going on. Last time he said that the hormone levels won't show anything as I am taking them. My concern is more of the hypo.........I have started up on the anxiety feeling again at nighttime before I drift off. I hope that he can help me with something else besides pills!! I gained enough weight as it was this last month or so, don't need anymore....especially depression pills. My tsh last time about 4 months ago was at 0.1, but I heard that taking HRT can knock it out again, so while I have some of the symptoms, I consider myself lucky and that it could be worse like some of the other gals I read about.
I will let you know what my dr says on friday........wish me luck!!!

ok i sure will see my tsh was so high in the beginning cause my gp dr refused to check them so i suiffered over a yr and it got so bad i wanted to kill myself i felt so horrible i dont take anything except my levothyroxine hormone pills 75mcgs and 1 mg xanax for the bad aneity my aneity never went away i thought i would but my dr says i have panic disoder and id prob have it for life omg i was a total mess but im on my way to getting better its a long slow process to get your thyriold levels to where they should be plus so far mine has been going up and down for what reason i dont know i cant wait till they are regulated and how well do you feel on the hormone pills? you mean you still cry on them?
best of luck on friday i get my tsh redone may 16th .my 1st tsh jan 2007 was 8.45 then it went to 6.28 then 2.58 then back up to 7.11 so im hoping its came down on my next labs.
hugs and good luck on friday.vic

When I first started the hormone pills they worked great, but it seems that they are wearing off if that makes sense. I can see some of the symptoms croping up from before...the loss of my mom in August still is on my mind and with mother's day looming probably doesn't help. But the crying jags are unreal....not sure why that is and hopefully will get answers on Friday. Sounds like your levels are up and down, I wonder why? Do you interact it with any other meds? Do you ever visit the thyroid site? They are great info that a person may not know about. I take my med in the am before I wake up and at least an hour before I eat. If I have fibre cereal then I have to take pill earlier as the fibre interferes with the meds, stuff like that.

They actually could be both, probably a good idea to get all the blood work done so they can see whats up....thats what I'm shooting for on Friday when I go to see mine. Good luck
