Managing Hypothyroidism Symptoms: Feeling Tired and Depressed

My numbers are good with synthroid but I still feel tired, my hair is falling out my skin is dry inspite of oils and lotions, depression comes and goes even on meds. What else can I do?

Should I see an endocrinologist or different dr other than my nurse practitioner? Perhaps she can refer me?

My TSH was tested in 10-21 and was .9888 MCIU/ML so it's high standard is 0.4- 0.45

Do you also take a T3 med? Might help.

I would suggest T4 and T3 plus thyroid antibodies. If you have antibodies it means you have Hashimotos which can be treated differently.

When you say your “numbers are good”—what specifically? I ask because I had my TSH tested again and again & it wasn’t until someone finally tested my T4 that they found a problem.

haven't had my T4 tested. Should I specify I want that test? What difference would it make?
