i feel so vindicated! i KNEW i just needed an increase in dosage! i got a blood test at my endo's on monday and after two visits of telling me to just focus on losing weight and exercising and that i would feel better eventually and that it's "normal" not to feel like your "optimal" self, my doctor called me (sheepishly i hope) yesterday asking if i took my synthroid every day without fail (yes, mostly), if i took it with the effexor (no, half an hour before breakfast like you're supposed to) and then he finally told me that yes, my TSH levels were still high (>10) and that he'd have a month's supply worth of a higher dosage ready for me to pick up right away.
ha, ha, ha, ha! do i know how to listen to my body?? YES...
