My Thyroid Rollercoaster

I'm a bit mentally detached.  This is due to my roller coaster thyroid levels of the last year.  Here is a rundown of my year, indicating by month whether I was undermedicated or overmedicated based on how I felt.

August 2022 - under
September 2022 - over
October 2022 - over
November 2022 - under
December 2022 - under
January 2023 - under (even worse)
February 2023 - under
March 2023 - slightly under, felt normal for around 10 days at the end of the month
April 2023 - over
May 2023 - over (even worse)
June 2023 - under
July 2023 - under

My levels were just right for around 10 days out of the last year.  That is why I'm mentally detached and don't care one way or the other.  My books will sell, or they won't.  At least they are listed.  I have other concerns.

I go back to work on Thursday, August 10.  School starts one week later on Thursday, August 17. 

As of now, I plan to keep my stores open.  I have misgivings, which are increasing.  

In the middle of July, my medication was adjusted again for the fifth time since I had Covid in July 2022.  This is a slight dose increase.  I had trouble getting the prescription and had to go to mail order.  While I was waiting on my 81.5 mcg dose, I alternated between 75 mcg and 88 mcg, which averaged to 81.5 mcg.  It is okay to do that, although my body is so sensitive that it isn't ideal.

I started the new 81.5 mcg dose yesterday.  It's the same medication I have been taking (Tirosint) with the same four hypoallergenic ingredients.  My body shouldn't be able to detect a difference, yet it does.  My body knows that I've never taken the 37.5 mcg and 44 mcg (paired together to add to 81.5 mcg) capsules before, and I am already having a reaction even though I really shouldn't be having one.  My body is that extremely sensitive.
