Dealing With Thyroid-Related Tiredness

by Mary J. Shomon

• Fatigue and exhaustion are very common symptoms of thyroid disease
• While hyperthyroidism is usually associated with increased energy, it can also leave one feeling completely exhausted. This can be due to insomnia or difficulty sleeping that is a common hyperthyroidism symptom
• For many patients, one noticeable sign that thyroid levels are getting too high and dosages may need to be adjusted is the onset of bone-numbing fatigue
• For some hypothyroid patients, even when levels are normal after treatment, exhaustion continues
• One in three people in the United States sleeps for 6 hours or less per night, substantially less than the recommended 8 hours
• If you are suffering from flagging energy, you need to make sure that you are getting enough B vitamins
• In terms of herbal remedies, ask your doctor about schizandra, a Chinese herb that is used for fatigue
