Advice for hypothyroidism?

Question

Hey y’all!
About 6 months ago, I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism and began taking medication for it. Prior to this, I would occasionally feel more tired than normal around my period, but nothing too serious. Recently, however, I’ve been feeling exhausted from the minute I wake up until I go back to bed, no matter how long I sleep.
Has anyone with hypothyroidism experienced this? I think it might be that my medication could be affecting my period and making it worse, or that my medicine isn’t as effective anymore.

Answer

Doctors should be monitoring your levels, I get checked every 3 months. So it may be your dose needs to be adjusted or, it could be low iron.

Answer

I’ve had this for about 9 years now, I would definitely have your levels checked regularly because being super tired is the main way I can tell when mine is off, you may need your meds adjusted

Answer

Id speak to your Dr and see about getting blood work done to check your levels. My mom has had it for many years and shes had to up the dosage many times. Ive been diagnosed almost a year now and havent needed it increased; even with pregnancy.
