I had my thyroid removed in May 2011 due to Graves' Disease. My doctor put me on the 150 dose and it was working great and I thought we had it figured out pretty quick. Well after a routine lab done, my levels were super high and that explained why my hair is AGAIN falling out, I have no energy, headaches, etc. Has this happened to anyone else? Your levels just shoot right up? I'm trying to lose weight, but I feel hungry all the time which my doctor said could be from this, and I'm having an extremely hard time exercising because I just do not have the energy. Any words of wisdom? I'm totally frustrated and lost over this whole process.

It can take up to a year to get onto the right dose. I assume that when you mean your levels were high that you mean the thyroid stimulating hormone, I think that what its called, its what your body produces when its asking for more from you thyroid. Has your doctor adjusted your medication?
