Had Thyroid Removed. Having Heavy Heartbeat, Tendonitis, Dry Eyes, Body Odour, Edema In Legs. Need T3 Supplement?
Hi. Im a 48 yr old female. I had a complete thyroid removal two and a half years ago. Levothyroxine daily for replacement. I have been having varying symptoms that interfere with daily functioning. Heavy heartbeat at times, deep waves developed in by one thumbnail (it wasn t injured). Tendonitis in both elbows and shoulders - I had tendon problems in both knees last year. Also dry eyes , body odor that keeps changing, and edema in legs occasionally. I have had kidney test to check a crete ratio, which is one point on the edge of normal. I really think I need to add T3 supplement to help. what do you think?
