I had my Thyroid taken out in Sept. 09 and I am still having problems getting my body sorted out. I am an avid swimmer and do an hour of laps everyday but since I had my thyroid taken out it is all I can do to do that. Afterwards I am done for the day on doing anything else. I feel like someone pulled the plug on my energy level because I am tired all of the time. I felt better at 150mcg but my doctor said that my labs were "surpressed" whatever that means and we moved me back to 100mcg. Now my levels are all wrong and we have moved me to 125mcg but the main issude for me is that I haven't felt good or my body hasn't felt "right" since the surgery. I don't know what to do and I don't think it is depression. I wasn't having problems before the surgery in fact I was feeling the best I have felt in years. I think it is something missing from my system that synthroid does not handle. Any suggestions?
