Part of (I hope) what is going on for me is a new PCP playing around w/ my thyroid medication. Numbers don't lie...bull twinkies!!! I only take one med-probably have mentioned this before-can't change it, can't fix it". Forget trying to make any sense...be compliant and don't ask questions. My thyroid was murdered when I was 28 saying I had hyperthyroidism...gained 20 lbs. In 2 wks and wondered why. I have no symptoms of hypothyroidism-yet.
Can't say something good then say nothing, "NOTHING"!
Truly am sad so many of us are struggling. Going back to my bed and beat a pillow. Yes, the mind is our enemy at times.

Thyroid dosage is very tricky. I had "Hashimoto's Disease" back in the 90's which virtually kill your thyroid. I'm taking Synthroid - and only as my doc doesn't want me to take any generic. We had to try different dosages to see how my numbers moved BUT also how I felt. It's a balancing act. Hope you feel better.
