why am i so tried all the time, am a 53 year old Male. I have been a vegan for 4 year and a vegetarian for 29 years. my B-12 is great 746 and my folic acid is 19.9 My TSH is 4.910 and my Doctor has me on 25mcg of Leothyroxine. My legs feel like they weigh a 100 LBs each. Please help!
Hi,your TSH level is only a little bit abnormal(normal range is 0.4-4.0mU/L.)and in this level it can justifie clinical symptoms if the free thyroid hormons (f T3, fT4 )are normal.This situation is called subclinical hypothyroidism.Actually you are Levothyroxine ,so ,in my opinion the thyroid gland is not the cause of your symptom.If i was your treating doctor i will suggest a blood test for ferriprive anemia and the level of sideremia and Iron in the blood.Other causes of tiredness can be stres and depresion).Hope i have anwered to your question.
