Hashimoto's is autoimmune hypothyroidism. The symptoms you are experiencing very well could be issues.

Do you follow your labs tests? Are you able to post them? Along with the labs - do you know the dosage of meds you are on in corralation with those labs?

You could do well with a dose increase. It is recommended to have a TSH of 0.5-2.0, preferably closer to 1.

Is your doctor willing to slightly increase the dose?
