underactive thyroid taking thyroxine still tired
HiI have been diagnosed with underactive thyroid for over 5 yrs now presently I am taking 125gm of thyroxine everyday, the doctor has done a blood test recently which has come back normal. I still feel tired, low and withdrawn find difficult to walk out of the house without a purpose and indecisive I am still overweight even though my job requires me to do a lot of walking, I have also developed alopecia. I would appreciate anyone can help me I had to change my career because my doctor took nearly 2 years to diagnose me, which resulted in stiffness in bones, depression and other symtoms ensuing in me leaving a career in IT with a high salary importantly which I enjoyed. Thinking about my past how different it would have been if he did a simple blood test makes withdrawn. Everyday I try to find something positive to help me through the day

Hi,
Sometimes if the test results come back on the lower end of normal, then you can still be having underactive symptoms such as you are having. I think they are considering changing the range as it's too wide right now. Get your doctor to print out your results and check them on the net to see if your results are at the lower end.
What time do you take your Thyroxine? I was told to take mine in the morning but read up that it's actually better absorbed if you take it before you go to bed. Also having coffee/caffeine around the time of taking your Thyroxine can affect absorbtion by up to 50 percent.

I hope it helps. Goodluck.

I have tried to switch off negative thoughts all my life whilst getting my degree, facing rejection in interviews building couple of businesses but its getting harder now I want to be closer to my wife and my children. Upton age of 30 I felt I am unlucky to everyone around and to myself but at the moment it is not as bad my children give me strength then I start thinking negative things about them about their lives which I do not want to do.
