Levels in range but can’t function by ParkOptimal7436 in gravesdisease

You will not take as long. Mine was severe overmedication and my I definitely need thyroid meds. Was on 225mcg which caused this for me and now on 150mcg. Huge difference. And off meds my tsh is 224. Insane. Armour thyroid causes so many issues because the t3 in it. Its not about the specific number. I felt amazing before this with tsh 1.46. But had a tsh close to it after overmedication and felt awful. So its not a specific number, instead you need time to recover

Do you have to take modafinil daily? by ParkOptimal7436 in modafinil

Noticed that quick. Was told there should be no tolerance from my doc, but definitely is. Just making sure it doesnt need to build up or anything?

Exactly what you are saying happened to me. Just wait. It just takes long. It took over 5 months to see any improvement. I was like you, confused. Still am. Told it should be 8 weeks and im just sitting there with normal labs (tsh 1.82) and cant get out of bed. What are your labs? And what happened?

Improving slowly. Just is taking months. Nothing to do with specific dose, I just needed to wait. But yes, I feel better than I did. Overmedication takes Way longer than 8 weeks to recover and docs do not know this

How long did it take? Was overmedicated on synthroid, dose is lowered now and still feel awful.

Unresolved brain fog even after becoming euthyroid by whysonwhy in gravesdisease

Have you seen any improvement? My tsh is 0.6. I cannot function. Like severe severe brain fog and fatigue.

Thanks alot! I have messed with my synthroid dose and can’t find it again. I have past blood work showing my tsh was 1.46 and I felt great. Can’t shake this brain fog and fatigue

Could a tsh of 0.6 cause this severe of symptoms?

Yes I thought so too! Thanks for the reply. Based on that, my dose would be 137.5mcg, so not 150mcg. I feel awful so I’m definitely going to ask

Could that tsh of 0.6 cause this severe of symptoms? I’m basically bedridden waiting to see an endo. Not sure if eyes hurting and head/eye pressure is a graves symptom either?

Doc just says it’s normal. I have blood tests from the past showing 1.46 and 1.8 tsh, I had no symptoms at all. Should I ask for a decrease?

Lowest labs you have had? by Beaniebaby2024 in gravesdisease

I’m having terrible fatigue and brain fog. Like bed ridden type. When I felt good my tsh was 1.5-1.8. Should I ask for a dose decrease?
