is this all part of the joys of being hypo?
i wake through the night with a pounding head
i get up in the morning and my entire body hurts and aches including my head literally feels like ive been trampled by a heard of elephants
im only on 50mcg levo and not allowed to up the dosage as levels are TSH 5.2 U/ml (0.35-6.9
thats not all my symptons just recent ones
i cant take much more of this as im exhausted the only way i have been able to get any sleep is by taking kalms during the day and kalms natrasleep
A TSH of 5.2 is ridiculously high for hypothyroids, it needs to be nearer 1. Do you have any other tests like FT4 or FT3. 50mcg is a low dose, how long have you been on this amount. Your meds look as if they need to be increased otherwise you will just put your body under more strain and make things worse. Your doctor should be taking more notice of your symptoms not your TSH, which is an unreliable indicator of thyroid status.
From the TSH it is difficult to see what is going on. Have you had any other tests, like B12, ferritin, iron, D3, adrenals etc?
