Hello, after 4 months, my TSH, T3,T4 levels are all in range. I actually feel good for the first time in a long time. I lost weight, I have energy, I no longer have headaches.  The only issue I have, seems to be the inability to sleep for more than 2 hours at a time. I actually got some pills to help me sleep, Zopiclone, and if I take 2 of them, I  can squeak out 3 1/2 hours of contineous sleep but that is it.  I am wondering if anyone else has insomnia problems and if there is a better way to deal with it?
