I'm a 45-year-old guy with a pretty sedentary lifestyle since I have a desk job, and I'm dealing with hypothyroidism. My TSH is at 14, T3 is 0.8, and T4 is 5.9. I've been taking Thyronorm 25mg but not very consistently. I dont have a lot of physical symptoms, but I do feel lethargic and just can't seem to get motivated to exercise. Should I think about switching brands or adjusting the dosage? Also, is there a particular time of day that's better for taking this medication? And how often should I be getting my TSH levels checked?
