View allI was diagnosed with thyroid issues back in 2008, and my TSH level was 5.2. Initially, I was on 75 mcg of thyronorm for a year, and then my TSH level dropped to 3.1, so my doctor changed my dose to 50 mcg. I've been taking that ever since. I recently got my TSH checked again, and it's now 2.39. My doctor suggested I stick with the same dosage. Is that alright? I'm feeling tired all the time, and I'm wondering if it's the dosage or something else entirely. Can you give me some advice?
Since your TSH level is currently 2.39, which is within the normal range, it indicates that your current dosage of 50mcg of thyronorm is appropriate for you. However, feeling tired all the time could be due to various reasons, including thyroid issues or other health conditions. Considering your symptoms of persistent tiredness, it would be advisable to discuss this with your doctor. They may want to evaluate other factors such as your T3 and T4 levels, as well as assess for any other underlying causes of fatigue. Additionally, they may consider adjusting your medication dosage or investigating other potential reasons for your fatigue. In the meantime, make sure you are maintaining a healthy lifestyle with regular exercise, balanced diet, and adequate sleep. If you experience any new or worsening symptoms, do not hesitate to reach out to your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
