I was off my synthroid 1 week. But when I had labs that showed my TSH being normal it was 5 days later. So yes the synthroid was totally out of my system, and had labs at my Primary after being back on my synthroid 1 week cutting it in half showed my TSH was then HIGH. I don't rember going through this when I first got on my synthroid back in October I guess she caught it before symptoms started.
You must have started your Synthroid back in October before you had any serious symptoms. Or back then, you were used to not feeling well from being slightly hypo for a while, and you started feeling progressively better after the Synthroid. Now, you're "crashing" from the lack of thyroid support.
Yes, I feel like I'm crashing. I was being treated for 3 months, I was HYPER, but had the antibodies for Hashi's, then when I went for routine labs in October, she called and said she was starting me on Synthroid that my thyroid had slowed down. So, I never got to experience hypo symptoms ever, and now I am. I mean I feel so down and physically tired, I feel the worst ever in my life, all over bad.
It will take a bit of time, but you'll start feeling a little better every day. I'm hypo, but have been overmedicated and therefore hyper briefly...I'll take hypo and day!!!
Thanks for listening. It's nice to know someone is out there.
im just curious..why would you prefer to be hypo than hyper..,i was just diagnosed to be hyper..so im new to this..
