How do you handle this disease? I was diagnosed months ago when I was pregnant with my daughter, found out I have been borderline for 12 years. Once my levels were regulated, I felt like I never have. But now, it seems like a constant roller coaster of feeling good and feeling lousy. I am on PTU. Is there a better med I should request from my doc? I am just sick of feeling so tired and never knowing which week I will feel good and which I won't. Plus my weight always goes up and down. Everytime I eat, I feel all bloated and I swear I gain 5 lbs after each meal, no matter how much I do or don't eat.
