You are not alone! :-)
When I'm either hyper or hypo (I alternate between the two depending on the docs' approach to my post-thyroid cancer treatment), my symptoms are never textbook. When I'm hyperthyroid, I feel hypo (no energy, gain weight), but when I'm slightly hypo I feel exactly the opposite of what's expected when my lab results are too low (lots of energy, heart palpatations, don't gain weight).
I've talked with other women who report the same thing, so I have a feeling it has a lot to do with our female hormones conflicting with the typical effects of high or low thyroid levels.
Also, when trying to find the proper thyroid supplement dose, pay close attention to your body. You may feel better when your thyroid levels are actually not at what doctors would consider optimal- it's all about what you the patient experience, NOT numbers in a lab report!
