Hi
I am new to this forum and wondered if I could gain any advice. Like everyone I have a long story of struggle and this is my last attempt to try and get some answers. Il try and give you as much information as I can without rambling on too much.
I developed hypothyroidism 12 years ago after a miscarriage well I don't know if for sure it was as the doctors. Tested me 3 weeks after my miscarriage and put me on meds ever side t4 and t3. . It's then my life has changed and never been the same or I have never been the same. I was also out on hrt as my menstural periods stopped and was told i had gone theough the menapause and I would never have a baby. After 9 years of being on hrt (was on it from 22) I came off it as I wasn't getting any information of the doctors why I should be on it I was getting fobbed off at every appointment. During the 10 years I have had a list of symptoms
Depression
Anxiety
Brain fog
Differculty understanding clear instructions to the point where I felt like I could not read anymore or add simple mathmatics up
Loss of hair
Pale skin
Joint pain
Muscle pain
Fatigue
Exhaustion
The list could go on.
I came of hrt and a month later I had a period and yes by month 3 (yes all them years inking I could not have any children) I became pregnant.
During my pregnancy my t3 went high and therefore gradually decreased and now just take t4. Maybe pregnancy kick started my body maybe and I have felt a tiny bit better by not taking it. Also during my first pregnancy they found I was b12 deficient and folate deficient And was given supplements and oh boy that's when the issues started. I felt very anxious, hallucinating and well very mentally unstable and to be honest I felt suicidal. I went back to my obstetrician and he did not believe me, I was severely anaemic and needed folate, iron, b12 but every doctor did not believe me, I tried taking them every other day but the side effects were to severe. , I managed to get to 37 weeks and the obstrteician delivered me early due to my severe anaemia.
In the hospital bed I was talking to a kind lady about how I came to have my baby at 37 weeks and she mentioned methylation. It's then where all this began and why I am here.
I managed to have done test done as I have spent thousands of pounds in the past and this is my last attempt. I managed to get referred by my go The tests were done at my immunology department and the consultsnt who has looked at my results and said all great now discharged me therefore I am at a loss what to do as I still have anemia along with all my other nasy symptoms
My results are below
Taurine 41 to 78 result 59
aspartic acid trace 5 result 9
thirelnine 75 to 189 result 218
serine 67 to 129 result 174
asparagine 34 to 82 result 62
Glutamic acid 10to 67 result 27
Glutamine 575 to 781 result 770
glycine 162 to 335 result 465
alanine 205 to 496 result 372
citrulline 17 to 33 result 39
a amino butyric acid 10 to 40 result 13
valine 151 to 302 result 185
cystine 34 to 67 result 26.
methionine 13 to 32 result 21
isolecuine 38 to 83 result 44
leucine 77 to 162 result 79
If anyone has any advice I would be so grateful
I know the glutamate needs to be lowered along with serine but not to sure how this is done.
Thanks Lisa x
