I had Grave's disease and my thyroid was removed over 25 years ago. I'm 46 and I've experience all the symptoms you described over the past couple of years. I was able to convince my doctor to increase my T4 dose, even though my blood work results were all within the normal range. Since the increase in dosage, my body temp has gone up from 97 to 98.2, my pulse up from 62 to 72, I lost a few lbs, have more energy and get morning wood once in a while. My T level before the T4 increase was 384 (270-1070)and 6 weeks after the increase, T level went up to 450. I know T is still too low, but my doctor won't prescribe TRT. She thinks 450 is normal.
