I am sick and tired if feeling sick and tired

[shoopmommy]

How many of you feel like this? Does it get better? How long will it take to get the energy back?

I was in your shoes last year when I was first diagnosed hypo.  It took nearly 6 months before I had any energy.  My family wanted me to see a shrink and was convinced I was depressed, so I did..  I wasn't!  
I finally started getting my energy levels back and then my heart started racing and my endo took me off synthroid for 6 weeks.  The heart problems stopped and I felt great too.  When I went back my thyroid level had dropped to .7 so he started me on 1/2 of a .50 synthroid and is going to increase my dose every 6 weeks by .25.  
Unfortunately last week I got a cold and my energy was zapped again.  I'm over the cold but still have no energy.  I'm guessing its my body re-adjusting to thyroid levels.  
It's so easy to give up and get discouraged.  
I cant stand the though of 6 months with no energy again!!!  Hopefully it wont take that long this time.  For all of you who are suffering from exhaustion, it will get better.   I needed to tell you all this because I need to remind myself too.

I am so very glad to hear also that there is light at the end of the tunnel.  I can't imagine feeling like this for the rest of my life.
