I had half my thyroid removed December 31, 2013, then they found out it was cancerous, so on January 21, 2014 I had the other half removed. I am taking generic synthroid. I am noticing my feet have a terrible odor, and are soaking wet when I take my shoes off after work, I cannot sleep an entire night long, and I get cramps in my toes that radiate to my feet, is this all normal, and what can I do about it?
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. In my opinion you should get done repeat thyroid function test.1. TSH2. Free T33. Free T4. Possibility of hyperthyroidism is more. As your symptoms like sleeplessness, excessive sweating, cramps in leg etc. are seen due to high T4. So may be your syn thyroid dose is more than required and this excess hormone causes symptoms of hyperthyroidism. So better to consult your doctor and get done thyroid function tests and discuss all these.
