TSH is trending high and I feel tired, lost 40lbs of muscle over the last 18months, now I can only make it 2-3 days a week to the gym d/t fatigue.
Anyone else ever have problems with this?

Yea I have pretty achy joints and can have difficulty focusing at times, not sure if those are from thyroid or not. I need to do some looking into it to learn more because I don’t know a whole about the thyroid.Some have symptoms in subclinical, some dont. Grandpa and mom have it. So its in the family. My TSH bounced up to 4.76, then back down to 3.00. Two really high numbers. Anxiety has been insane the last two years, insomnia too. I can't sleep b/c I drag so much during the day that I never get as much done as I want to. Body weight has gone down about 40lbs but waist has increased 2 inches. Lots of aches & pains, brain fog, slow thinking. It's debilitating.
I've dealt with all of that. Will drive you crazy. I feel 10x better now that my TSH is back to 3-5 rangeI think everyone is different as far as where their TSH, t3, t4, rt3, etc all need to be for optimal levels. It took me multiple physicians before I could get one to understand what I was going through. I had two look at TSH only and determine that I was "in range." My TSH was right at 5. It's almost a year later and I'm still trying to find my optimal medicine and dose.
I had the lethargy, brain fog, lack of motivation, insomnia, inability to build any muscle, no cardio endurance, achy tendons and joints, low libido, dry scalp, frequent muscle cramps, cholesterol skyrocketed, etc.
I started on levothyroxine and felt great for about 6 weeks. Then all my symptoms returned. I increased the dose but nothing changed. Ive been on NP or armour thyroid for about 3 months and this seems to be a better fit for me. I'm not symptom free yet, I'm giving it time to see if this dose ends up alleviating everything. I'm not sure what my next step will he if this dose doesn't get me back to completely normal.
Thing is, I get my bloods done yearly with TSH, T3, T4. In 2015 my TSH was 2.88, in 2016 3.42, 2017 2.65, and now 2018 its 4.76. So its kinda trending up.I've dealt with all of that. Will drive you crazy. I feel 10x better now that my TSH is back to 3-5 range
Mine is similar with how it fluctuatesThing is, I get my bloods done yearly with TSH, T3, T4. In 2015 my TSH was 2.88, in 2016 3.42, 2017 2.65, and now 2018 its 4.76. So its kinda trending up.
explainAnybody have any input regarding a part of their treatment which helped restore libido? This seems to be the most noticeable of my symptoms that hasn't been improved since I began taking medication. There have been 3-4 day stretches that libido seemed to be almost fully recovered but nothing sustained.
Basically what I meant was, I've been adjusting my prescription and dosage for a year and mostly my symptoms have alleviated. But my libido is still non-existent at times, and low nearly all the time. I just wondered if anyone else had found something they could directly attribute to regaining libido.explain
Could be testosterone is a touch low. Ever check that?Basically what I meant was, I've been adjusting my prescription and dosage for a year and mostly my symptoms have alleviated.

I did a year ago before identifying thyroid as the problem... I couldn't believe it but it was over 1000. Now that I'm settled in with Armour thyroid @ 90mg. I may run some more bloods for things like test and E.Could be testosterone is a touch low. Ever check that?
IIRC from endo class; most libido problems in young healthy men are from psych problems.
Dude. My TSH was 23, no joke. Even at 8 I felt normal. 32 yrs old as well. SucksMy TSH is currently 8.44. Hopefully they can get it dialed in. Wonder if I’d notice the change.
On a completely different note, on a range of 270-1100, my total test was 315. I could triple my test levels and still be in the normal range. Wonder if I’d notice the change in that? My system is all out of wack at age 32 lol.
It always changes.. I have to get TSH bloods every 3-6 months, and it stays between 4-6.Thing is, I get my bloods done yearly with TSH, T3, T4. In 2015 my TSH was 2.88, in 2016 3.42, 2017 2.65, and now 2018 its 4.76. So its kinda trending up.
Maybe hop on a higher dose. I take Tirosint which is pure T4 with no binder/filler. Costs 60$ a month with insurance, BUT, it works. I stay lean and keep muscle now compared to when I was going keto at a high TSH.Thing is, I get my bloods done yearly with TSH, T3, T4.

im not on any thyroid meds though. Have some borderline anti-thyroid antibodies, along with TSH that keeps creeping higher and higher. Also have other abnormal antibodies in my blood. Paraproteinemia with chiefly elevated IgM was found as well.Maybe hop on a higher dose. I take Tirosint which is pure T4 with no binder/filler. Costs 60$ a month with insurance, BUT, it works.
