Happy New Year, all!
I have been hypothyroid since middle school (I am 56 yo cis female, years post-menopausal, if that matters). I took Synthroid for years until it stopped being as effective. My naturopathic doc put me on Armour Thyroid several years ago with great success.
Two months ago I had the first in-person check up since Covid lockdown in March 2019. My blood work came back: my medication dosage is too high.
Im really scratching my head in this one. When my weight goes up, so does my blood pressure, blood sugar, etc. Also, my liver enzymes say my non-alcoholic fatty liver issue is worse. I definitely didn’t lose any weight duringthe pandemic 🙄. Why would my thyroid meds be too much now? So odd. Any insights?
Thanks! Susan
