@cazzie My nurse practitioner let me test when I felt great and when I felt like shit, so I would know which thyroid levels felt good and normal to me. It was extremely useful. I keep my TSH higher than what most people and endocrinologists shoot for, and she is totally fine with it. My happy place is a TSH between 2.2–3.0. The other numbers kind of fall into place. Although, I added T3 separately and it’s a little whacky and I’m trying to figure it out again.
You medicate to suppress your thyroid, and I know very little about those drugs. However, I do know how you feel in terms if being lethargic and wanting to crawl into bed. When I am hypo I am unmotivated about everything. It’s like depression, but I’m not actually unhappy, just everything feels like a chore.
Listen to your body. I only warn that I think you should adjust your meds a little at a time so you can gauge when you feel better.
