I'm feeling alone and not sure who to turn to ask and feeling like no one quite understands. My main concern is that sometimes when I get muscle weakness and feel tired, I start craving to eat and I can't stop myself even if I have already eaten well. Yesterday evening was the perfect example, Having eaten a full meal with vegetables, rice, noodles and chicken, I then followed it with a bowl of fruit with yoghurt. Very healthy, should have been enough. I then had a bowl of cereal with milk, handful after handful of cereal from the cupboard and other food I could lay my hands on. I managed to stop myself when the feeling of wanting to eat spoonfuls of sugar and golden syrup and sweets and chocolate out of the cupboard. I think felt overwhelming tiredness and ended up lying down unable to move all evening eventually falling asleep.
Today I am so shattered, I feel weak, tearful and tired and I have just been eating and eating all morning. I can't cope.
Please tell me other people get these hunger cravings ard tiredness and I am not alone. Please can you tell me what to do to make myself feel better?! Any advice welcome. Thanks in advance.

FT4 FT3 the TSH is a pretty useless test for some people. levothyroxine sits in the body waiting to be converted into T3 which is the active ingredient so to speak. Your body has to convert the levo into the t3 if you feeling really bad and tired it is possible that you are not converting properly therefore your t4 would rise and your t3 would decrease you gp will not know this if he does not test your t3. Unfortuntely if you are in the uk this is not alway done by the labs and you tend to have to pay for the test privately. Which I what I have done. I have now manged to rid myself of 3/4 of my levo in favour of taking t3 directly. ps it is nearly midnight and I have been up since 5am. A miracle ....6 weeks ago I was in bed by 9 pm and sometimes struggling to get out of bed at 7am. This is not the answer for everyone. Getting an endo appointment is first port of call and insisting on VIt B12 and VIt D testing as well if you can get any other minerals tested I would. I take vit d and vit b12 vit c vit K calcium and a good complex B. As well as getting the t3 on prescription from the endo.
