Ok so I've been on my med. for almost a month now, and I have noticed that somedays I feel certain things are better and some days they are worse. I'm only taking .5mg. and I think the doctor will raise it when I go to see him but for now I was just wordering if it's possible that my tsh level is fluctuating causing me to have diffrent symptoms at different times? like today, I was so tired I fell asleep while sitting up having a discussion with a freind,(I slept fine the night before and there was no logical reason for it other than thyroid) what do y'all think could my symptoms be changing?

Thanks for any and all imput!

Hi Ibesmama,


From what I understand, our thyroid levels can fluctuate even on a daily basis.

In my opinion what you are feeling is pretty normal, I mean I think the majority of us here can atest to the fact that one day we may feel great, however the next day we feel like death.

I have to make the appt. I think it will end up being sometime next week. and then the week it will probably take me to get the blood work back. So I'm thinking it will be two or two and a half weeks before he adjusts my meds again. I'm just so tired!!!! I feel like I'm letting my son down and my family because I just have no energy, my poor husband hasen't had sex for two weeks Because I can hardly have a conversation let alone anything else. Oh well I guess I just have to stay positive ( and awake) :)

Thanks
