My dizziness is better when I'm at home, but when I drive or when I'm on the computer, it worsens. When I'm under stress, it worsens.

It started in November after they raised my levothyroxine to 100 mcg. After a week, I had severe dizziness and the shakes. I went back to my usual dosage of 88 mcg. The dizziness continued.

Also, I will mention that in November around the same time, a seven year relationship that I had was severed by me. I chose to break up with him. It was hard on me.

The shaking is bad, especially around lunch time. Sometimes, it's really bad at home or when I go out. Sometimes, when I first get up in the morning, I'm a little shakey, also.

The panic attacks and anxiety are severe. I feel like I'm going crazy. I try to keep them under control, but it's hard. I'm laid off and don't have health insurance and am currently going to a "Free Clinic". They sent me to an ENT for my dizziness and he said it wasn't an ear problem, but that if I wanted tests, like hearing or balance testing, I would have to pay for it.

I'll also mention that I was in a car accident 12/1/2008. I had whiplash. Two weeks after the accident, I got vertigo. It was really bad for about five months, so it is really complicated where this dizziness is coming from.

Thanks for your help. I really appreciate it.

Hi - your posts really resonated with me- thank you. I have constant adrenaline surges and a genetic inability to degrade adrenaline so it's double hell. I've just started thyroid meds - just t4 bc t3 is too much for me. I'm also on cortef to support adrenals along the way. I'm taking liposomal vitamin c as well which helps a little. But I'm open to any suggestions because my adrenals are in bad bad shape. Thank you for your insights.

Tom,

Does Jurple get into EFT at all ?

I plan to look into all your suggestions.

I realize paxil is not the answer to anxiety issues.

I'm currently waiting for bloodwork I had done last week. I had it for thyroid and cortisol. I have to call my ENDO tomorrow. I'm going to see what she says and if she doesn't address my symptoms of dizziness, anxiety, fatigue, and muscle weakness, I'm going to see another doctor.

In the past, ENDOS haven't helped me with my thyroid issues. That's their speciality, but they never take your symptoms seriously. They always say my thyroid levels are normal. I feel like crap, but they're always normal

Thanks so much for writing. I'm trying to address my anxiety and keep it under control, but it's hard.

Thank you again.
Halley
