I have graves (hyper) I understand this so much, I've been overmedicated into hypo and oh God it's painful. Places I didnt even know could hurt, hurt. I am so sorry. My biggest advice is to 1- rest when you need to, we wouldnt tell a diabetic to push through when their levels are off. <-I know, easier said than done. 2- get your labs checked now, TSH, Free T3 and free t4, this will give YOU, not a doctor, an actual number for your own individual range. I've been told, but you're within range, but for me to feel well my t4 has to be slightly elevated not within range. Stay on top of your labs, especially when you feel off. You dont even need an order you can go to most labs and self order. 3- find a doctor that listens (impossible, I know) 4- save ALL of your thyroid meds, this saves my ass when I'm way too hyper I double up. 5- listen to your body, you can feel the shift, you can feel a crash coming and the earlier you can detect it, the better. And dont let a doctor make you wait for weeks or months to be seen. This is urgent, and important. ❤️
