I'm sorry you are feeling rough. Have you taken your pulse/temp. Are they higher than your normal ones when you feel good?.

No they are just the same,have to say I have not felt good for 3 years after things got worse after years of hashimotos treated with thyroxine.I seem to have developed symptoms that have got worse and different.Now on t3 only for a year which has made life more manageable .

If your temp/pulse are usual for you it means you're not overdosed. I think you should have a blood test too just to check everything is in order.

Bearing in mind, I'm not medically qualified.
