Since you are taking Thyronorm (levothyroxine), experiencing restlessness, fatigue, and heavy, salty sweating could suggest your thyroid hormone levels are slightly too high, mimicking an overactive thyroid. At 50, hormonal shifts like menopause can also cause increased sweating, leading to visible salt residue, especially if you are dehydrated. It is very important to stay well-hydrated. I highly recommend discussing this with your doctor, who can check your thyroid levels (TSH) and electrolyte balance with a simple blood test to safely adjust your medication if needed.

Levothyroxine (Thyronorm) takes about 6 to 8 weeks to build up in your body. Your starting dose of 12.5 mcg is very low. Since your TSH was 6.58, this dose may just be a gentle starting point, and your doctor will likely need to adjust it. Becosules is a vitamin supplement to support energy, not a direct thyroid treatment. I highly recommend repeating your TSH test soon and sharing the results with your doctor to find your correct dosage.

Your TSH and T3 levels are completely normal, as TSH is the most reliable indicator for monitoring your thyroid therapy. A slightly elevated T4 level can sometimes occur and is typically not a cause for concern when your other levels are balanced. You likely do not need an immediate change to your Thyronorm 75 (levothyroxine) dose. However, please share these results with your doctor, as they will consider how you are feeling overall before making any official adjustments.

A slightly high Free T4 level suggests your Thyronorm (levothyroxine) dose may be a bit too high, which can sometimes contribute to elevated blood pressure. However, please do not adjust your dose on your own. It is very important to consult your doctor, who can safely adjust your levothyroxine and monitor your blood pressure. Additionally, severe foot joint pain is not a typical symptom of high thyroid levels and requires a separate evaluation, as it could be related to other conditions like gout. Please schedule an appointment with your healthcare provider soon to get these symptoms safely addressed.

This type of cyclical nerve pain, often resembling sciatica, can sometimes be linked to menstrual inflammation or pelvic tissue pressing on nerves during your period. Fortunately, there is no direct link between this pain and your thyroid condition or your low daily dose of Thyronorm (levothyroxine). For temporary relief, you can try warm compresses, gentle stretching, and over-the-counter pain relievers. I highly recommend discussing this with your gynecologist to explore the exact cause.

Taking your daily dose of Thyronorm (levothyroxine) 100 mcg is not only safe but incredibly important during your seventh week of pregnancy. Your developing baby relies entirely on your thyroid hormone levels for healthy growth and brain development right now. Continuing this medication poses no risk to your baby; in fact, keeping your thyroid levels stable prevents complications. I highly recommend contacting your obstetrician or endocrinologist soon to get your thyroid levels (TSH) checked, as dose requirements often increase during pregnancy.
