I've recently switched to a new thyroid supplement and feel like I'm back in the land of the living! I've been taking naps everyday for YEARS, at least since my pregnancy with Lydia (2 1/2 now). I had most of the other symptoms of hypothyroidism, but the fatigue was my biggest complaint. I remember lots of times when I wasn't able to get a nap for whatever reason and I would call Kyle crying: "I'm just so tired!"
I have been taking a thyroid supplement since the beginning of this year, and felt better but was still really dependent on those naps. No longer! I haven't taken a nap in 5 days now. It's amazing what all you can get done when you stay awake while the little ones sleep!
I'm really glad you've discovered the primary cause of your fatigue. But please allow yourself to indulge in a nap every once in a while! A mom of seven DESERVES one!
