Hello
I am just over 2 years post treatment for HnN cancer of unknown primary. My bloods came back slightly elevated for my Thyroid , so the GP has put me on levothyroxine. last september.. The blood figure came down but not as much as she wanted, so I am now on double dose at 50mg. The only problem is, the insomnia which was mildish for last year, has come back in spades (waking at 2/3/5/6/8) and then feeling absolutely whacked for the whole day (overwhelming fatigue rather than just tired). I did feel so much better for the year after treatment finished, so wonder if a double dose is too much (not due next blood tests for another 2 or so weeks). Has anyone else suffered thyroid issues? How long did it take to get resolved? It could be something else, just seems too much of a co-incidence. I did a couple of posts regarding this but, they were 5 years old, so not sure if anyone is still around.
Thank you
Tricia
I'm on 75mg myself, recently upped from 50mg, due for another blood test this month; never really had much trouble sleeping though. My late wife had thyroid problems for more than twenty years so I've seen extremes of over and under-active function first hand, can be very difficult to get the balance right as Linda suggested, hopefully yours will be right soon Tricia.
