My daughter was diagnosed with Hypothyroidism in May of last year.
Her TSH was originally 12.9 & was put on 25mg of Levothyroxine, this was quickly increased to 50mg, which is what she is on now.
Her TSH is now within normal limits (1.65) but her symptoms are still almost crippling her & have not shown any sign of improvement.
When she gets home from college, she spends her evening wrapped in several blankets, leaning up against her radiator, as she is cold to the bone & can't get warm.
She is constantly exhausted all of the time. We spoke to the Dr's but they aren't interested in referring her to an endocrinologist, as her TSH are within normal limits!
Any advice would be very much appreciated, as it makes me so sad to see my DD suffering so much
