So, diagnosed hypo (hashi's) in 2004, so when I became poorly in 2017 with fatigue, nausea, tachycardia, sweating I was refered to an endo who declared I was overmedicated, and we should reduce my levo. (Despite t4 being only 3/4 in range) I remained very poorly, unable to work for about 8 weeks, then have managed to work between 12 and 24 hrs a week since, with bouts of fatigue and nausea etc in betweenFast forward to 2023, and my GP tells me that I have M.E., as I had all the tests to exclude other issues in 2017. Thanks Dr's. Thanks for telling me so quickly.
