Whew! Glad to know I'm not alone. I've been experiencing the same symptoms, and just posted on it.
My TSH was originally 6.88 back in October. I went on 50 mcg of Synthroid and in November had my labs drawn again, my TSH was a 2.4 so my Doc was happy with where things were at and kept me on same dosage. By January I was starting to feel tired and exhausted again, but new I had labs coming in February so I didn't go see the doc. They got my labs back and my TSH was back up to 5.8. So I made an appt. and saw the Doc. She said she didn't want to increase my dosage but she did want to have my labs drawn again. I just had them drawn last week and my TSH is a 1. But I feel the same way, sometimes jittery, but mostly I can just feel my heart racing, and I just had an appointment a few days ago. I wasn't sure what it was. I get anxiety before goin to the Doctor, so I thought it was just that, but I'm still feeling it every day, so it can't be just anxiety. I thought maybe it might be combo of the increase of Metformin, she increased me from 1000 mg a day to 2000 mg a day. I just know that how I'm feeling doesn't feel right. Has anyone else ever experienced these same things?
