Symptoms that come and go - Hashi hypo?

I've had hashimoto's hypothyroiditis for about 5 years. I'm taking synthroid and as a result my TSH has been about 1 (in the normal range) for about 4 years.However, every couple of weeks I get some sort of "attack of symptoms" including body aches, extreme fatigue, and mild nausea, foggy-mind. It lasts about 3 days and then goes aways for a couple weeks only to return again. All my labs and medical tests are normal expect for the antibodies for hashiomotos. TSH has been good/normal since I've been on synthroid. Any one else have these strange "attacks" or chronic symptoms due to Hashimotos?

Unfortunately, with Hashis, your levels can fluctuate quite a bit, and there are so many things that can help that happen.  You should make sure you are taking your meds on an empty stomach, at the same time every day, no antacids within 4 hours, etc.  Make sure your doctor isn't going only by the TSH levels.....if he/she is, then find another doctor ASAP.....are you seeing an Endocrinologist?  I am a firm believer that even if your levels are "fine," you can still have lingering symptoms, and it is fact that you do have fluctuaions with Hashis, so I'm thinking this can be normal......I too get these weird "attacks" where I may sound crazy, but I get this weird "sick" feeling in my neck/chest area and I can't stand it.  I will get the fatigue, very bad fog/forgetfulness, etc.  And I really think it plays in with a woman's cycle as well.  If you think about it, it makes sense since your thyroid is a hormone secreter.  ...The thyroid plays such a huge role in almost every aspect of our bodies.....the symptoms can be all over the place.  I hope you feel better :)
