What Causes Fatigue While On Nature-Throid?
Brief Answer:
About Nature thyroid dose;
Detailed Answer:
Hello and thank you for asking!
I have gone carefully through your concern.
The dose of the nature thyroid you are taking actually is too high.
A low level of TSH is an indicator of a high dose during the last 6 weeks.
As you have seen, increasing the dose even above normal dose not improve your symptoms, it means that underactive thyroid is not the cause of your symptoms.
I would suggest to lower the dose of the Nature thyroid and discuss with your treating physician about any other probable pathology that may cause fatigue etc.
Hope the information will help.
Kind regards,
Dr.Mirjeta
