Brief Answer:
What is your temperature? Was a blood test done?
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I have reviewed your information fully. With symptoms resolving( Pain in back and tummy), it is unlikely that the infection would continue. I will like to know what your temperatures are if you get to measure them when you have” chills and fever” at night. If not, do so and report the value to me.
Being tired could be a symptoms of anemia. I will like to know if your full blood count was done. If yes, kindly upload the report to me for review.
I will suggest you stop synthroid. A thyroid problem develops progressively and not overnight. I will suggest that you get the thyroid hormones measured before any treatment with thyroid supplements is commenced.
I hope this guides and helps. I hope to hear back from you.
Waiting...

blood test done in the past few weeks , the last test showed I needed to reduce the synthroid , so I did, but thank you, I will talk to my dr. and get another blood test, I was kind of thinking the thyroid was acting up again, thanks again, XXXX

Brief Answer:
Keep me posted!
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I will not recommend you increase the dose of synthroid at this time. The thyroid wouldn’t cause symptoms just for a few hours each day. They will normally last all day long.
As you talk to your doctor and get more details, share with me for review and more guidance.
I wish you well.
