Feeing sad, no family time due to Extreme exhaustion and burning acid feeling in legs.

So today I went with family and friends to watch the red arrows. What should have been a pleasant and good memory making experience has pretty much reduced me to tears. I have suffered with thyroid for past 6 years. Just after my daughter was born it was discovered that my thyroid levels were dangerously high. After being given medication to bring it down, my thyroid went under active. So now on 100 of Levothyroin(apologies on spelling) I have been told my thyroid level is now correct. However, simple daily household tasks are becoming a major issue, I sleep during the day and feel just as tired. Then, back to today, walking (not far) to see the red arrows my legs built up with acid to the point where I thought I was either going to cry in front of everyone or just drop. The pain was liked I'd ran a marathon. But literally a 10 min walk! I really can't stand this much more! I've been to doctors previously and it's been a case of we can't do anything for you as there is nothing wrong?! Am I alone here feeling this down about situations similar to this. It rules my life. X

Results are in.... haven't a clue what they mean? 😭😭

There's nothing glaringly wrong, but you do need an increase in dose - despite your TSH. Which is probably all your doctor is looking at! But, both your Frees are too low.

Your vit D and ferritin are also too low, but in range, so it's doubtful your doctor would ever do anything about them.
