Different dose?: You many need a dose adjustment on your levothyroxine. See your pcp for thyroid panels to see if you may be running too high on your thyroid hormone levels.

Thyroid hormone: While there are many causes of the feelings of excessive fatigue and shakiness, it is quite often a sign that your thyroid hormones are not as balanced as your doctor would like. The first step is to see your doctor so that lab work can be verified with regards to your thyroid function. He/she mayalso look at your over health, electrolyte balance, glucose tolerence, and blood counts.
