Hypo taking Syntroid but still tired all the time

I have been taking Syntroid for 6 months and for the last 3 months my dose was changed and I started having exctrem fatique in the morning and at night around 6:00pm. I tried to do yoga today but my heart was beating faster.
I saw my doc and she said this is not related to thyroid and It could be rheumatoid artheris. Anybody have the same symptoms I have seen 3 doctor so far and no result.

From the looks of it - it looks like the Free t3 is low/

Your FT4 and FT3's don't look quite right yet.

I'd talk to your doctor about that Free T3

What should Free T4 and Free t3 should be
TSH : 1.67
TSH 1.746  uIU/mL
T4,Free(Direct) 1.14  ng/dL
T3 free 239?

I am having a saliva test done. I saw a new doc 2 weeks and he told to take 50mcg in the morning and 25mcg around 4:00pm. Anyone had any luck with this treatment?

Your doctor is wrong - it totally could be related. Ask your doctor to run these specific tests to see if your Synthroid is converting in the right ratios to relieve your hypothyroid symptoms.

Free T4 and free T3.
