For about as long as I’ve had gd, about every two weeks my energy level crashes and I can barely get up in the morning. I understand I have to go slow and be patient and pace my self. My guess would be that somehow I’m overdoing my activities, but I can never tell at all when I’m overdoing it until when I wake up the next morning and discover I have to drag myself out of bed or simply just can’t get up and moving. Any suggestions? My hyper symptoms have been in remission for 2 years since treatment with meds-metho. Hypo symptoms just started up a few ago and so now on very low dose Tirosint 13 mcg daily for about the last 2.5 months.

The best thing for you to do right now might be to keep a log of activities to help you to figure out if you are really overdoing things, or if there is some cyclical pattern of energy collapse going on. You might also include foods eaten. The thing is, not every symptom that we develop over time is necessarily related to thyroid. It’s helpful if it IS related to thyroid, but if it is not, and we continue to focus on thyroid as the culprit, we may endure problems like these for longer than necessary.

Assuming female??
Are you keeping track of your Menstrual cycle? it may be related? thyroid conditions can magnify other bodily cycles.
Where are you with diet?, just healthy balance or are you following a regimen of some type.
Generally the best direction is lots of fresh fruit and veg, healthy meats, minimise carbs, avoid as much processed foods as possible and limit soy intake.
