Odd question

Ok, this is an odd question but how does it feel when you get better? Is it a gradual feeling better or do you just wake up one day feeling better? I've been taking syntroid for 2 1/2 weeks and I've been feeling better but the last two days I didn't want to get up out of bed. Is it normal to have some bad days in the beginning of treatment?

" Yes, it can take up to 8 weeks for the T4 to build up in your system. I know it seems like a very long time and it is so hard to wait to feel better.

Hang in there and stay away from stress as much as possible. "
