Since on 0.175mcg of synthyroid after thyroidectomy and neck dissection two years ago, I have started to feel great fatigue? I can go to sleep at anytime during the afternoon. I also have a lethargy and malaise of the mind! If you mention this to the G.P., nurse or consultant you get vague looks!! Can anyone help?

I had the same problems. Fatigue, couldn't remember anything, horrible modd swings, weight gain etc. After finding an newspaper article years ago I went to the doctor and for once I got the right meds. I now take Synthroid and Cytomel. We moved again and wouldn't you know the docs here want to mess with my meds even though they have worked for me for the last 10 years. For some people the body just doesn't process the Sythroid the fast enough or maybe the way it's supposed to be. So taking those 2 meds together works really well for me. It is worth a shot. Hope this helps!
