Is anyone else suffering at this time of year?

I feel like i am getting a cold but nothing happens, i need to keep sleeping and feel exhausted all the time again. I haven't changed my medication - 100g T4 and 25g T3 twice a day but seem to be feeling terrible for weeks now. I also feel shaky, weak with jelly legs. Is anyone else similar to me?

Agree on the virus thing. I have had these symptoms and did worry it might be thyroid but one of my friends has had much the same. For both of us it started in early September and the symptoms have followed much the same pattern. It's annoying that it is hanging around for so long though!

Did he give you a thyroid gland blood test? If not, maybe it's time you had another.
