Coming out of a fog...

After 4 unsuccessful IVF's and 4 FET's, we went to Cornell for our last ditch effort to have a child. 

In going there, they did much more thorough blood work and found that my thyroid levels were off.  I had to get that fixed before I could continue with them.

Went to an endocrynologist. Found out that my levels were barely off.  Now, I don't remember what they were or if they were low or high, but if your T3 or T4 levels are high, your TSH is low and vice versa.  Well, my T3/T4 levels were off, but my TSH levels were actually fine.  That's how minor it was.

But, regardless, got on Synthroid. 

Just went in for a check-up.  I had missed some pills here and there and my doctor told me that if I do, I'll probably end up feeling overly tired.  I kind of was like "whatever" over it because i really have never felt any symptoms from my thyroid.

BUT- I do know I have felt in bit of a fog lately.  Tired all.the.time regardless of how much sleep I got, etc.

Got my blood test back, she felt my levels were low, so she upped my medication.  From 75 to 88 - not a huge change, but a change.

CRIPES.  The past 2 days, I've felt GREAT.  Really, really great.  Well rested, not exhausted, etc. 

I'm literally stunned at the change, and I absolutely think it's due to the change in my meds.  NOW I "get it" and how much of an impact your thyroid can have on you.

I didnt' realize HOW tired I really had been over the past couple weeks.

    I'm glad you're feeling better.  I'm sure it's hard to tell when it's more than just 'running yourself ragged tired'.

    I'm so glad you're feeling better. It is no fun at all to feel like that. I'm not on thyroid meds, but I am on a med that makes me feel "foggy", lethargic, and just overall sick if I don't take it. I'm glad that they were able to get the appropriate dose for you.
