I need help. What else could this be? I am tired. tired. tired.

[Guest guest]

Hi All... I switched from 20 years of synthroid over to armour about

one month ago. I posted recently about wanting to up my armour dose

(which is at 120 mg a day, for two more weeks at which time my doc

will retest and maybe up my dose.) I have been feeling more severly

fatigued for the past week. Really bad, as if I went to bed at 2 am

an woke up at 5 am, when in fact I am dropping off to sleep about 10

or 11 and up at 5 (not by choice, I wake up and cant sleep!) I am

starting to think I might have something else going on . I dont

know about the adrenal fatigue stuff, the book turned me off. I

know everyone here has done more research than any docotr... so,

does anyone know of anything else that I should consider with this

extreme fatigue? I even thought I had cancer that the docs couldnt

find for a while due to this extreme fatigue. It can drive you

insane. Is it common after one month for the dosgae problems to

peak, or anything like that? I just cant keep trying to function

like this. Any advice or ideas would be great. (I am thinking about

upping my dose of armour anyway, but then that will goof up the

blood tests, and he might run those as soon as next week. Should I

just sit tight and wait for the tests, and then up my own dose

anyway if he doesnot? (also, gaining weight like mad). This is

stupid isnt it? I know in my gut that this is from the dose being

too low! !
