    UPDATE May 1 2022 Significant success! I'm now taking T3, and prednisone, a magical combo for me. The elimination of T4 seems to have been the right step, as now I can manage my thyroid levels myself, by feel, quickly. Without that horrible fatigue. I take: 12mg T3, 6x per day 10mg Pred 1x per...

    When I was first diagnosed with (mild) hypothyroidism, I was put on 25 mcg Synthroid and felt increasingly better for 2-3 months, then it all slid backwards. 4 months later, the addition of 5 mcg Cytomel, and 2 Synthroid increases have not helped. What might cause this to happen and what can I...

    A brief history of me. I'm 33 years old and have had problems with sleep and fatigue since I was a teenager. Never thought much of it, just thought I needed more sleep than most. Which was usually 10 to 12 hours a night plus a nap in the afternoon. This is also the time I started going from...
