upped my levo about 10 days ago and my free T4 is actually in range, TSH where my endo wanted it to be. so why do i still feel completely drained? like, the labs are responding. that should mean something, right?
but im still hitting that wall at 3pm at work where my brain just shuts down. still coming home and basically collapsing. still can’t get through a day without feeling like im running on fumes. my endo says the adjustment takes time, that the body lags behind the numbers.
fine, i get that. but how much time? because i can’t tell if im supposed to be patient or if the dose still isn’t right. maybe it’s too early.
maybe my exhaustion was never just the thyroid. or maybe i need another bump and we’re not there yet. anyone else have a big gap between when their labs stabilized and when they actually felt better? like, how many wks did you wait?
