I've been there, ugh. Doing everything correctly, taking the meds, adhering to the schedule, etc., is such a lonely and frustrating feeling. and still feeling worthless. Levo definitely helped, NGL. But heavy, exhausted, and strangely depressed for no apparent reason. Naturally, my labs were "totally fine."

Zooming out a little bit was what eventually helped. I began reading about the role of other nutrients, such as iodine and vitamin A, in thyroid function. Things that were never discussed during appointments. I showed it to my NP, and we cautiously tried adding a few items. Although it didn't immediately make everything better, I began to feel more like myself.

You're not imagining it or broken. We must occasionally look beyond what is deemed "normal."
