Suggest Treatment For Fatigue, Muscle Weakness And Unsteady Gait
I have hypothyroidism, double vision, and recently was prescribed Lipitor for high LDL and HDL. I am experiencing extreme fatigue, muscle weakness and aches, and my gait is increasingly unsteady. I now wear prism glasses which help, however, when I am fatigued it is still difficult to keep my eyes from crossing. My opthalmologist suggested I may have Myasthenia Gravis. My PCP has not been open to much discussion about the MG. My TSH scores have been on the low sife of normal as has my T3 score. Any suggestions?

Hi
For hypothyroidism you might be taking Tab.Thyroxine (dose depending on THS levels). Thyroxine usually takes 15-20 days to show its effect so be relax if you have just started your treatment.
once the levels of thyroxine builds up in your blood , fatigue and muscle weakness will subside.
light monitored aerobic exercise (keeping heart rate below 120 b/min) is recommended.
