sounds to me like you are going through the vicious cycle my Endocrinologist said I
was starting to go through. I opted to kill my thyroid, and just take a pill the rest of my life. I had it done this last Thursday. Now I am going through some aches, but was told this would happen, but not for long. I had options, and found this to be the best for me.
I wish you well. Speak to your Endo, or doc and ask for options
Hope you do well.

lightheaded, and times when i felt I was going to fall. Then I went hypo.
I just felt awful all the time. The toughest part was the long wait until one day i called my Endo and said when are you going to kill my thyroid?
Thankfully, I got a call from the hospital last Wednesday, and they asked me when do you want to come in? I Said tomorrow! They said ok, is 11:00 am good, I said, oh yeah! i still feel horrible, but knowing that within 4 weeks, I will feel better, and be put on medication.
I can do this. Keep bugging your Endo until he/she does something for you!
Hope this helps. I am here, so anytime you need someone, know I am available. ok?
