dosage for Hypothyroidism

I was diagnosed with Hypothyroidism 3 months ago.  Endo started me on 100 mcg synthroid and felt like "Superwoman"
Went at 6 weeks for my blood work and was reduced to .75mc.  I have felt worse on this dose than before I was taking anything.  Lots of hip, knee, and feet pain that I could hardly walk.  Went back to see my doc and she said iy had nothing to do with my Hypo or the lowering of the dose. Got another blood test and she lowered it some more to .05mcg.  Still feel terrible.
If I was feeling so well on the 100mcg why is she lowering everytime I get my blood work. I know she is looking at the numbers, but the way I feel she should take into consideration
Has this happened to anyone?
