Regulating TSH Levels after TT
I had a total thyroidectomy in mid Jan. I did not have RAI so I started 100mcg Synthroid after the surgery, within a week went up to 125mcg. My last TSH Level in Mid March was 6.7 above the ref. range....I am now on 150mcg. of synthroid and feel worse than ever, cold and tired etc. etc.
I have to wait until May 19th for my next appt.
Does it normally take this long to get into the reference range for TSH? Will I ever feel normal again?? I am 35 and feel like a 90 year old women. I could sleep 23 hours a day if I could, I am often achy and always cold. And the symptoms are getting worse. The Dr. supplemented my Syntroid with Provigil which he says will give me more enery but I thought the point was to get your TSH under control and in turn that would make you feel better. HELP ME OUT- anyone else have these issues?
