Almost afraid to call my Dr.

I'm afraid to call my doctor because I'm still tired (although for 2 mornings I've awakened on my own at 7am which I haven't done for several months), foggy and, as you know all too well, twitchy. Actually the muscle twitches and aches are perhaps the most frustrating at the moment. My hair is falling out and my skin is as dry as ever. It's like I'm still hypo but starting to get hyper?? Is that possilbe??
I would at this point be really afraid to have my dose decreased... I still feel like I need it increased! I'm actually so freaked out that I haven't mentioned it to my hubby, yet. Although I'm sure he's noticed that I've been up at 7am for 2 mornings without him having to drag me out of bed.
I'm sort of hoping that this is just a transition peroid... maybe I'll swing a little into hyper and then swing back to the middle and finally be adjusted?? (Is that wishful thinking?)
Thanks for your help/advice,
Dee.

i went into a hyper state shortly after child birth and my heart just raced. my endo said that being in a hyper state can cause damage to the linning of the heart.
call your dr. are your seeing an endo? if not, get one. also, i know this is new for me, but my dr. switched my over to the amour thyroid med (T3 T4 combo) and it has only been 3 days and i am already beggining to feel better. you may just need a med change- there are different thyroid meds out there. please tell us how you are doing!

Thanks, and you're right. I will call today. I have had bad experiences with my Drs. who in the past really don't seem to know anything about hypo (scream!), but I have a new endo, and I should give him a chance. As I'm sure you know, I just want to be better. You're success is helping me stay focused.
Thanks,
Dee.
I'm so hoping the new endo will help!
I'll keep you posted,
Dee.
