I called the doctor yesterday and he said my thyroid levels were getting closer to normal but that he wanted to increase the dose to 112.5 mg rather than the 50 mg i'm taking now. i've been taking the new dose for 2 days now, and i'm REALLY tired and REALLY spacey. but i good thing is that i'm not craving sugar all the time, it's kind of nice. but still very tired. where is the line folks. i need the medicine but is it worth being this tired. maybe once this gets under control the doctor can do something else.

has your doctor maybe considered insulin resistance? one of my doctors suspected it and put me on medication for diabetics (although I am not)---also it has a tendancy to make my GI tract do some flip=flops, my cravings for sugar have stopped and I have been able to actually lose weight. with insulin resistance your pancreas puts out way too much insulin for you eat which causes huge spikes in your sugar levels which make you hypo-glycemic...so you eat, feel better for a moment and then your system goes back into the same cycle.
well i'm deffinatly hyperthyroid. but i don't know about other. i'll mention it to my doctor.
