@kol, i am on 100mcg. and i have that awful tiredness, all day long. i do keep a check on my sleeping times and even though i wake up just about every hour on the hour, sometimes i might get a 3 hr. sleep period. thing is, i feel like i have just mowed the acre of land and cleaned the whole house. never feel rested. even after i take a nap and sometimes i am surprised if i sleep for 2 hrs. either way, i can only do a few things before i have to rest and then go back and do whatever else is important to do. believe you me, i can't wait for naps and bedtime. its just not fun to feel this sleepy. thank goodness we do not have a lot of visitors. i don't believe my blood was checked before my surgeries. so i am going to look back at my timeline and hopefully get back to this discussion. hugs and prayers for all

Sounds like you need to call your doc. If your medicine was adjusted that might be the problem . Best of luck

Did you ever get some answers? I had 1/2 of my thyroid removed 35 years ago and two weeks ago I had some more thyroid tissue removed that had benign nodules. My surgeon increased my levothyroxine from 25mcg to 88mcg, which seems like to much of an increase to me as I read you should increase by 12-25mcg at a time. For the past week I've had terrible fatigue and just don't feel well. I was thinking it's due to the large increase in my levothyroxine but maybe it's because the meds haven't had time to work yet? Just wondered how you were doing and if you had any further info or suggestions. Thanks.
