Hello again warwick
Yep, we seem to be very similar, annoying isn't it lol.
The only good thing about not being on HRT at the moment is that I don't have to worry about progesterone intolerance. As I say I rather foolishly hoped my hormones would settle naturally and I would feel better by now.
I take 75mcg of Levothyroxine daily and since diagnosis last December my blood work has been fine and antibody levels have declined to near normal. Ideally I'd like to discuss a possible change in dosage with my GP but that may not be possible. I am due another blood test soon so if I discover anything interesting I will post about it as many of us have here Thyroid issues.
I completely sympathise with you about going out when you feel wobbly. Several times I have almost cried in the supermarket for no reason I can think of. One time it came over me when I was looking for the yoghurts and another time I bumped into a friend who just said 'how are you?' and that set me off. I find the mood/anxiety side of the menopause absolutely exhausting and very inhibiting.
During my 'journey' I have had many other symptoms that have now gone, daily headaches for example and palpitations so I hope that these emotional symptoms will fade before too long. Otherwise I have told my husband I may have to turn to drink!
I'm pleased to see that your infection appears better and hopefully that issue will resolve soon.
Wishing you well.
