So your thyroid is now in the normal range and you are still exhausted? They started me on 25 mg my levothyroxine and after 8 weeks I got tested, she didn't give me a value but said it was close to normal but they still upped my dose to 50. Just about to get tested again after 8 weeks of that.
Before I started the meds I was sooooooooo tired for a few months or was unbelievable. It was like there was no words to describe my exhaustion and it was a wonder I was actually able to work. It's been hard on my marriage. Now I am just tired and it isn't so awful but it is still pretty bad. I am not on antidepressants at the moment.
