Struggling with Normal Thyroid Levels but Feeling Terrible

I deal with exactly what you posted. Lately my thyriod levels have been "optimal" but with hashimoto's, it's true that they swing all over the place. I think it wares the body out. I have low vitamin D as well. That can make you feel a bit tired sometimes. My fibro has beeb insane lately. Nothing really helps at the moment. The brain fog has been insane. All the symptoms you mentioned, I'm dealing with full blown right now. It's exhausting for sure. I'm so sorry your dealing with it to.

I hope you do find a doctor that will be understanding and be a good doctor to you

That’s upsetting I’m sorry the doctor isn’t listening or helping you I would look for another doctor or call your health provider and let them understand your situation and see what they recommend

Be your own health advocate

Ask your doctor about vitamins as well

There is a difference between being within "clinically normal" and "optimal range" for your age/other health factors. Being within your optimal range can be the very thing that determines the severity of your symptoms even when you're clinically "normal". I try to get my thyroid levels checked every month... In January my TSH was 0.7 (close to hyperthyroid). In March, my TSH was 2.3, which I felt was high (hypothyroid). The thing that makes Hashimoto's different between other Thyroid issues, is that you constantly swing back and forth between hyper and hypo. It's a specific condition! The constant swing between the extremes and then the constant swivel between normal, but not optimal levels is enough to put your body systems through the ringer... Hence the fatigue, brain fog, and body pain. I always wonder WHY, when my levels change so much so often, WHY is my Levothyroxine dose not adjusted to keep me at my optimal level. Doctors and medical professionals do not talk enough about optimization for individualized health. I only had one doctor talk to me about this, and he was a fill in until the office found another endocrinologist. The journey is maddening
