Guest guest Posted January 22, 2004 Report Share Posted January 22, 2004 " Miserable " doesn't HAVE to be associated with this disease if doctors would treat us appropriately. Good for you for moving on and looking for someone better. You are right on! We shouldn't have to resign ourselves to feeling that way when it's not necessary!

I was told by several people that mine needed to be increased to 10mcg. She absolutely didn't want to hear the notion and you would have thought I had insulted her for even asking. I asked my family doc that same question last year and he wouldn't increase it either. I was really disappointed, I just want to get better so desperately. I feel like I am missing the best part of my children's lives. I keep telling my husband when I get my health back I will do this or that. I am coming up on one year of feeling like crap now. It is really taking it's toll on me. One word describes me now " miserable " . My endo responded to that word as " just comes with the territory " Two docs down and looking for another! -Dana -- Re: When in doubt blame it on arthritis?!?! Dana, I totally understand where you are comiing from.I was the EXACT same way,aches,pains,not energy..etc...,when I brought my dose of T3 up to 37.5mcg I lost ALL of those problems.You may have to just increase your dose of T3 until you feel better.5 mcg is really low and if you still feel bad after 6weeks,get your Dr. to add more T3.
