hey everyone. I am hypothyroid and have hoshimotos. I have been taking thyroid medication since I was 16 when it was discovered. I seriously lack natural energy. My dr tests my thyroid every 3-4 months and says I'm in the normal range but the only way I have energy is when I workout and take a multi vitamin with energy. Days that I don't workout I'm so sluggish and tired all day.

I went to an endocrinologist last sept because they did an ultrasound of my thyroid and found something they wanted to get checked. the biopsy was negative. I wish there was more that could be done I hate always being tired and losing weight is so slow (although possible I lost over 100lbs before having my kids)

    What meds are you taking? Do you know the actual test results? Does your doc test free t3 and free t4?

    I hope you find relief. Personally I feel better since getting off birth control and getting off some of my migraine meds. I know regulating my sleep helps too.
