underactive thyroid
"My TSH levels were/are 4.9 which is borderline but still hypo.  My T-3 & T-4 levels are normal.  I was prescribed 50mg of Levothyroixine to be taken before breakfast.  From the second day I felt so tired and lethargic that I could mostly just lay on the sofa.  After four days I stopped taking it altogether.  I emailed my doctor and asked him if taken the med every other day would be OK and he said to try it.  But because I have to have energy and meet the public in my job I have not done that yet.  I just can't take the fatigue/lethergy again.  I still feel tired so I guess it is hypo but the med makes me feel worse.  Such a dilemma. Any suggestions would be welcome as I see this as getting worse but with no solution."
