Moxie Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 I'm exhausted, jittery, can't focus and have a slight headache. I've felt this way for weeks. I'm on thyroid meds and the last time I was tested, my dosage was changed because my numbers were worse. Could this be my thyroid again? I just feel gross.

JennSnow Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 Could be your meds are too high..this is definitely how I feel when my dosage needs to be lowered. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MercyA Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 Could you be anemic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 Could you be anemic? I have trended that way in the past. Also, vitamin D deficient. Maybe I just need to be put out to pasture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MercyA Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 I have trended that way in the past. Also, vitamin D deficient. Maybe I just need to be put out to pasture. I almost never get headaches, except when I am anemic. Anemia also makes me more tired and cloudy-headed than usual. Maybe try supplementing with iron for a couple days? Hope you feel better soon!

Spryte Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 I think it sounds like you need to have your numbers checked again. That's would be my first guess - your thyroid sounds off. I get those same symptoms. It stinks. I hope you find a quick fix! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems like such a simple thing but it is so annoying. $100 blood test, new meds, $100 blood test more meds, $100 blood test, whoa less meds! Exhausting.

Exhausting. I totally agree. Plus the doc appt, and the time to get there, and the lab if your doc doesn't have a lab onsite. Ugh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exhausting. Honestly, I adjust my medication first, email my doctor as an FYI, and then get the labs if I'm still not well. I've spent quite a bit of time with a world-class endo (I have much bigger problems than thyroid alone) and he taught me to place how I feel over lab numbers every time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
