Post-partum thyroiditis - anyone else had this??

[Guest guest]

Hi, I'm new to this forum and wondering if anyone else has been in the

same boat as me. A couple of months after my baby was born last year I

was diagnosed with post-partum thyroiditis - I had a massively

overactive thyroid for a couple of months (truly horrible), which then

returned to normal and then within a few weeks plummeted way down.

After waiting months to see if it would return to normal on it's own,

the doc prescribed levothyroxine - I'm now on 125mcg/day. However,

some days and particularly in the evenings I feel racy as if

overactive - but not at other times. Is this normal with this type of

treatment? I guess it doesn't regulate naturally as it would if my

thyroid was doing its job. Also, does anyone know if there's any

chance it might resolve on its own? I'm 32 and feel too young too have

permanent hypothyroidism! Thanks.
