OK, what was the range for FT4, Lacey? " Normal" isn't good enough.
Most ranges for FT4 are .9 - 1.8 or something like that. At 1.1 you are NOT normal; that's low. And it explains why you feel like crap.
You need a qualified doctor - plain and simple. www.armourthyroid.com will give you a list of doctors in your area that prescribe armour thyroid - they'd be a good place to start.
It sounds to me like you might be dealing with Hashi's - the low TSH and the Low FT4 aren't right; it's a sign something is going on and this is common with Hashi's.
You need a good doctor, Lacey - it's really important you find one.
When you get your tests back post the numbers and the ranges - we need the lab ranges to know where you fall in the range.
