Please can someone help me or certainly point me in the right direction. I got diagnosed with underactive thyroid in Feb 14. Although i am and have always been in the "normal" range because i have had other symptons like depression, fatigue etc they put me on meds. A year on and i am still on them and have been increased to 250mcg but i feel awful. I have got contact headaches. Luckily i only work part time as i am so tired i finish at 230 and have to have some sleep before cooking dinner. I literally can not keep my eyes open. I called doctors on Friday and they want me to have more bloods done but i am wondering if anyone has felt this. I have never been sent to an endo.
Please can someone help. I have no energy to play with my daughter. i Just want to sleep all the time and its making me more depressed.,
Thanks

Wow I am shocked to hear your GP put you on thyroid medication when you have always been in the normal range. Plus such a high dose?? Please please ask for a referral in an endo as this should have been done in the first instance. You are also on al very high dose of levo - I hope your GP haste done regular blood tests before increasing your medication. I'm not surprised you feel depressed. Do you have copies of any tests that have been done?
