Any suggestions for energy for people with Thyroid disease? Always tired.?

Question

I have been on medication for 12 years for my thyroid problem. I NEVER have any energy. I am always tired. Energy drinks, coffee, sugar just mask the problem. I've tried vitamins, energy pills, everything. This disease has stopped my from doing so much. I'm only getting older. Any suggestions would be a great help to me.

Answer 1

Get proper treatment for your thyroid disease.

As a long time sufferer, you should know that the dosage you were prescribed 12 years ago might be different from the dosage you need today. You have to have your thyroid levels checked regularly. That means at least once a year, once you are stable and feeling well. Until then, check every 8 weeks.

And note that I wrote that you need to have your THYROID levels checked. That means free T3 and free T4. TSH isn't a thyroid hormone. It is a pituitary hormone. It doesn't affect your symptoms. Only t3 and T4 affect how you feel.

Answer 2

Sounds like you may need T3. What medication are you on? If its T4 (Synthroid, Levoxyl) you may not be converting enough T4 to T3. A switch to a T4/T3 medication may be of help. I switched from Levoxyl to Armour thyroid over 4 years ago and almost all my hypoactive symptoms are gone. The T3 in Armour helps symptoms such as; fatigue, depression, brain fog, constipation, and muscle and joint aches. Armour thyroid is adjusted by free t4 and free t3, not by TSH.
