Hypothyroidism - alternatives to levothyroxine

[farmyard3]

I have had hypothyroidism for four years. Started off on 50mcg of levothyroxine and increased to 75mcg after the first year. Still on 75. I have my bloods done every year and most recent test was done in early June and came back normal.

However I am still feeling exhausted every day, have to do a lot of lying down and resting where possible, I always have a nap each day if I have the time. I go to bed as early as possible. I thought the recent bloods would show I needed an increase in medication and was a bit disappointed when they didn't as now I don't know what to do.

I understand there are other conditions linked to tiredness that I could be tested for e.g. Anaemia - anyone know of any others?

Also - does anyone know of any other medication that can be taken for hypothyroidism that isn't levothyroxine?!

My TSH is 54 and I walked ten miles one day last week, then a few days later energy slump. I'm hit a miss, berrocca helps me and reflexology has really helped.... feel like I'm limping to my private endocrinology apt this Friday to obtain some NDT. There's lots of support and info from others with the disease on patient.info site under "side effects of levothyroxine" thread. I eat clean foods, no tap water or Florida toothpaste as fluoride attacks thyroid, wheat and gluten free definitely helps. Do research to find a good reflexologist, mine is ace and has thyroid issues herself, she's north Derbyshire if anyone wants her number

Can someone tell me plz if anyone has suffered from severe sweats while taking Levothyroxine?
