looking for help -hypothyroid
I am trying to find some info for my sister who is hypothyroid. She is 29, works full time, and feels awful a lot of the time. She can't use the computer very much because of severe arm pain so I am posting this in the hopes of getting some info for her. This hypo thyroid is so confusing to me. Here's her story in a nutshell. She was diagnosed last summer after a long time of just feeling awful - tired mostly. Finally a doc tested her thyroid and her numbers were way off. Super higher than they were supposed to be. So she started meds for it, and started feeling good for a while. Her numbers went back to normal and she was doing great. But now she is tired again, all the time. So tired that she has to go home and nap at lunch and sometimes sleeps through the rest of the day. So one would think, well her numbers must be off again, but she got re-tested 3 weeks ago and the doc said they were fine. She also had her iron checked and that was fine too. WHy does she still feel so horrible? If her numbers are fine, why the regression? ANy ideas? Thank you so much. I feel so bad for her! julie
