Managing Thyroid Cancer Medications

I had my entire thyroid removed due to cancer as well about three years ago. Some days I feel like I'm literally dying. The pain and fatigue are horrible. The Dr had me on levothyroxine and cytomel in the beginning...I was still able to work out and function for the most part. I started having a little bit of heart palpitations and he abruptly cut me off the cytomel. Said if my levels are too high it's dangerous. But immediately after stopping the cytomel...I felt worse than I ever have...it's been almost 7 months without it and my Dr said my thyroid levels are perfect...than someone please explain why I feel so much worse?

Never had thyroid cancer although decades ago my doc removed one gland because of a suspicious growth. Benign fortunately.. However I would get a second opinion from another doctor, maybe talk to your pharmacist to get their opinion about keeping your meds on a low dose to prevent a recurrence of the cancer. Maybe someone else here has a more educated response than I. However the good news for everyone here is that there are many healthy dietary changes you can make that could increase your energy, mood and general health. One of the great resources is clinical nutritional specialist Kinsey Jackson. I have one of her books, The Thyroid Reboot". Got to paleoplan. com.
