Hi. I had my pituitary glad removed approximately 30 years ago. I've been on prednisone and synthroid or L-Thyroxine. I presently take 150Mcg of my thyroid medication and 10mg of prednisone daily. My thyroid meds have been increased about two years ago. However, I have headaches, muscle aches (lower body just recently) and fatigue. I also am not tolerant of most foods I eat. I'm going to start a gluten-free diet, but there's a lot of talk about Armour instead of prescribed thyroid meds. I don't know what to do. I really like to be active but just can't find the energy I need.
hello. your tiredness and muscle aches may due to the steroids you are taking or the low levels of thyroid in your blood. please consult your endrocrinologist as you may have to change your drugs or dose . meanwhile , you can consider yoga, it can help you. thanks
