I just looked up Cytomel because I did not know what it was.So your doctor used that in addition to synthroid?My endricinologist is checking for Cushings disease because of the massive weight gain,but I just wonder if this is all related to just my thryoid.
Thankyou so much for responding!I have had hypothyroid disease for a long time and have been on 50 mg of synthroid,but my TSH was slightly elevated with my most recent test so my doctor did raise it to 75 mg.I am going to wait to start it until after my cushings disease on Monday.It is just so much inflammation in the upper arms and legs.My behind also is huge and I just do t have any support in my pelvis,hips or shoulders.I am 5'10 and normally around 160 pounds which is a normal weight.I am in my late 40's now.When I first became ill I was barely over 100 pounds because I could not eat and now I am over 100 pounds from what I should be.I can barely walk,but I am not eating enough to make me gain all of the weight I have.I do think this was triggered by the iron infusion or covid.The upper arms feel like bees are stinging them.I was Healthy before all thos came on and I am pretty much disabled now and no Doctor knows what is wrong.It is so frustrating.
