I have hypothyroidism (more specifically hashimoto) and I am really struggling lately with low energy. It is quite a problem as I am a stay at home mom with two very hyper toddlers and I feel like I can't get anything done because I'm always so drained. I know this is a question for my doc, and I am going back soon, but does anyone know of any herbal/natural supplements or easy pick me ups that I can try in the meantime? Thanks.

Elaine, first thing is to ensure that your TSH is within normal limits, I am sure your doctor is on top of that. Secondly things as simple as anemia can also cause fatigue, have yourself evaluated, sleep apnea, stress depression, are other possible common causes in young adults, besides hypothyroidism, ask your doctor if you have already been evaluated or if you could be one of those with two reasons for fatigue, good luck
