Brief Answer:
About under active thyroid:
Detailed Answer:
Hello and thank you for asking!
I can understand your concern.
Under active thyroid can explan the chronic fatigue and probably the eye blanking. You need to continue the treatment with levothyroxine and it needs at least 4-6 weeks to see the improvement of the symptoms.
if the eye blanking improves, than it have been due to underactive thyroid.
I would not suggest herbal treatment but continue with levothyroxine and check TSH after 6 weeks to be sure that the dose is the right one.
Hope the information will help.
Best wishes,
Dr.mirjeta
