been at this a while. upped my levo in may and my endo said “TSH is where we want it, free T4 in range, we’re good.” she’s right on paper. but i’m still exhausted by the end of my workday. teach second grade.
these kids need me present and i just don’t have it in me some days. here’s what’s messing with me: do i just need more time? or does “dose is right” mean something different when you’re managing thyroid AND perimenopause at the same time? maybe the levo is finally dialed but the HRT is still settling.
maybe it’s backwards. how do you even know which one’s doing what. my endo keeps saying six to eight weeks but that’s just for thyroid. what about when you’re on two things?
nobody has a timeline for that. so genuinely asking: did your dose ever feel “right” the way you were expecting? or did you just reach a point where “less terrible” felt like a win and you stopped waiting?
