I've always had hypothyoridism, over 10 yrs. For the last 2 yrs. I've been having problems, levels have been changing. Dr kept adjusting med.

Went to rhmy due to pain. Now he said I'm hyper and changed med. I also have low D.

I'm wondering if it is normal for the thyroid to go from one to the other. I'm so tired and in a lot of pain. We wont even go to the mood swings.

Any info welcome and Thank You.

For me I do go back and forth between hyper and hypo. Just depends on how sick I am, but I have multipule health issues.

You may have hastimoto's. You can swing for years if it's stubborn. Once it calms down it will settle to one extreme or the other. Most of the time it's hypo. Have you found out which kind you have?

I've always been hypo, it's just the last few years that I've been having this. When I went to the Dr a few days and checked my latest labs he said I was now hyper. Never have been hyper before. I've been feeling like before I found out about my thyroid. Always tired, achey and the mood swings, wow! I hate being like this just as much as everyone else.
Thanks for all the help.

Vitamin D deficiency is very common, especially anywhere north of the tropics. We stay in the shade and wear sunscreen to prevent skin cancer, and therefore our skin doesn't produce vitamin D. Also, in the past few years researchers have discovered that the optimum level is higher than previously thought. I take 1000 units a day in addition to the 1000 units I get in my calcium tablets, and I still came up low about six months ago. My doctor had me taking megadoses for about three months to get me back into the normal range.

My thyroid stabilized after a couple of years and has been stable ever since. I may be different though, because I had hyperthyroidism from Graves disease and my thyroid was essentially killed with radiation therapy, so all the hormone I have is what I take in my daily supplement.
