I see and endocrinologist, and he told me last time “sorry but the amount you take is what I would give to a person who no longer has a thyroid.” I guess this is the best I get to feel1

There is a range of "normal" for a reason. Most of need to find a sweet spot within that "normal" in order to feel our best.
How can you be in remission from Hashimotos?
For my Endo, it is defined as an extended period with little to no symptoms, within range numbers and therefore no need for thyroid meds.0 -

But you experienced that while taking the medication, so the effects were due to the replacement of the thyroid hormone.
This really makes no sense given how Hashimoto's works.2 -

He prescribes by set amount? That sounds like a very bad doctor.2
