I have had hypothyroidism for app. 30 years and since December of 2009 I have been totally exhausted, cold, dry skin, constipated all the old symptoms I had b-4.
When I saw my Dr. we both agreed I probably needed to increase my levothyroxine.
I went for blood work and it came back with no levels at all. He lowered my meds and I go back in 6 weeks for more blood and to see if my levels have changed and I need to lower the levothyroxine again. I'm a little confused because I think it should be increased instead of decreased because I'm getting more and more exhausted. Thank you for any light you can shed on this. Loretta
