IS THIS HOW YOU FEEL WITH HYPOTHYROIDISM?
Hey guys, lets compare notes.
I was diagnosed with hashimotos a year ago. I was on a small dose of levo, which was increased 9 days ago to .050. The Dr. told me that once my tsh gets to 2.0 i will feel normal. my Tsh last checked 9 days ago was 7.93. T3 was low too.
So I go to bed about 10 pm after I drink about 2 small beers. I wake up about 9 am and My ears are ringing off the hook. I feel horrible. I do not want to get out of bed. I am still exhausted. I take my LEVO and I lay there for about 30 minutes.
9:30 I roll out of bed. I am EXHAUSTED. Im foggy, im shakey. My wife asks me if I want anything to eat, I decline. I grab a water bottle and I drive to the gym. At the gym I feel HORRID. I dont have any energy. I sometimes will stand there and look at a machine and think "next time".
So I get my half hour at the gym, i head home. I go home and eat something small and I lay on the floor for the next two hours and think to myself "I wonder if the 900 doctors I saw missed something".
2:00 PM - I start to feel better, I know have a little energy, I play with my kids as much as i can because I know any minute im going to feel crappy again.
8:00 PM - Ears are now ringing again, im foggy again, im shakey, and I just want to lay down on the floor and I have to tell my wife I dont feel good.
10:00 I finished a glass of beer and im heading to bed. It was a very joyful day, I felt acceptable (not good) for 8 hours.
Am I fooling myself thinking this is one day going to get better? Why Do I feel so crappy in the morning? Should I take my medicine earlier? Am I not taking enough? Is it something else?

Barb I had horrible things happen to me after my lumbar puncture. They were exactly like the symptoms ive had but worse. Ear ringing, headache, neck tension pain. So today I had a blood patch. The blood patch was the most painful thing I've ever had. Ever..
All my symptoms left right after except the ear ringing... False hopes.
Dream naut, I'm not on any thyroid. I can't tolerate it. It makes my ear ringing worse. Sux

Basically Hashimoto's feels like your dying.. very slowly.
Yes the morning fatigue is TERRIBLE, but trust me over time (could be months, could be a year) it WILL improve :)

Are you sure the symptoms are from the lumbar puncture or could they just be from what's wrong with you?
interestingly enough, i had a lumbar puncture 3 days ago and the symptoms im experiencing from the lumbar puncture are the same i have experienced from whatever the hell is wrong with me.
I think I have a better word for brain fog..... Dementia
