Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I had a total thyroidectomy three months ago. I have been on 100 mcg of Levothyroxine since day one. I always feel cold, my body hair sheds more than normal, muscle cramps occur fairly easily, and low energy levels. I have had Graves disease in the past. My most recent blood work showed FT4 at 1.00 ng/dL (range 0.60 - 1.80), FT3 at 2.4 (range 2.3 - 4.20) and TSH to be 0.88 mIU/L (0.34-5.00). Please help.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I just read your query, and from what you have mentioned, you have a well-controlled thyroid function test. Considering the hair fall and muscle cramps, I suggest you have your vitamin D level tested. I suggest you take the tablet Neurobion Forte (multivitamin) twice a day for a month for muscle cramps. Then, consult your specialist doctor, discuss with them, and with their consent, take medicine.
