Sorry to hear about infection,
@ickihun - that doesn't sound fun. And it's definitely worth asking for a thyroid function test, because hot flushes can certainly be an indication of too much thyroxine.
My non-active thyroid means I take Levothyroxine, and I had a blip with this in July last year, where my TSH was suddenly through the roof and my T4 was very low. They reminded me that I need to take it on an empty stomach, blah blah, and at the same time I realised that actually the cod liver oil capsule I had been taking at the same time was likely to have been hindering the absorption of my tablets due to, well, the oiliness! So I stopped taking that, and BAM in a short space of time I became absolutely wired, lost a load of weight, started getting massive anxiety issues, night sweats, hot flushes during the day, and raging, raging, raging angry mood swings and exhibiting scary behaviour.
Because this coincided with recovering from a massive kidney infection I put some of the symptoms down to that, and some of the symptoms down to being perimenopausal. In November my thyroid tests were in normal range, and then in February I was suddenly hyperthyroid - not only had I now been taking the tablets on an empty stomach for months, but I would take them, go swimming/running/cycling and only have breakfast an hour and a half or so later.
So I'd gone from **** absorption to supersonic absorption. No wonder I've ended up in a pickle.
So, since February I've been on 175mcg daily instead of the 200mcg I was on before. Follow-up test in a fortnight. Thought things were improving but I had another anxiety attack on Wednesday, and apparently I'm still being 'difficult' in my behaviour (cross cross Snapsy), although my hot flushes are now only at night.
I'd get tested, if I were you
@ickihun , because it might be that your own dose needs looking at.
