Has she been checked for Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis? Also, thyroid medications like Synthroid/Levothyroxine take a week or more to “kick in”, so if it hasn’t been that long and her thyroid is indeed the problem, give it a little time.

Prayers for her health and that the doctors can diagnose correctly and start treating her as soon as possible.

Thanks. It’s been just about a week with the thyroid meds - it’s nice to have a time estimate. The doctor’s office said it would take “some time” for the effects to be noticed. She was started on a very low dosage, with a small increase each week.
