This will end up as a rant, but I'm getting desperate. I have Hypothyroidism, and have had this diagnosis since I was 16 (I'm now 25). Well, For over a year, I was on Synthroid .15mg (150mcg). I went back to my RE back in May and my TSH came back too low and out of range at 0.06.

So, she backed my dose down to .1mg (100mcg), and I feel like I'm going insane. My symptoms are back in full swing!

My mood swings have gotten awful, gaining weight despite exercising and eating moderately better, constantly tired and fatigued (sluggish, run down and lethargic), my hair is falling out more and feels thinner, I'm definitely depressed and restless, insomnia is in full force, I can't concentrate, I'm more forgetful, I over-react and get panicked easily, and the worst... I'm raging.

My relationship with my BF may be over because I got so nuts on him Tuesday night, after a wonderful time with him... I just went nuts on him, hurt him by saying awful things that I didn't mean, and now he doesn't seem to want to talk to me. He thinks that this is "in my head" because he doesn't understand my illness very well... I emailed him last night trying to explain it to him, but he hasn't written me back... So, it may be over for us...

I'm so depressed and angry. I was feeling so great, even tho I was "too low" in my TSH level. She backed me off way too far I think, and I'm sure now my TSH is too far out of range the other way, but we won't know until I get my BW done next Tuesday.

Please tell me I'm not losing my head, and that ya'll have experiences similar... I hope not losing a loved one, as I might have... But the symptoms... Please tell me this is not all in my head...

Thanks.
