I have had my thyroid in the middle of my throat and visible and have had since i was young. I have been on synthroid medicine also and been taking one every night. I have been having almost all of the symptoms of an underactive thyroid (Hypothyroidism). I have had my blood tests and everything was good. What should I do? What’s up?

SORRY FOR ASKING SO MUCH
A little over a year ago I woke up from drinking and felt like shit, which usually isn’t the case. The next two months or so I started to notice that I was urinating a lot and drinking a lot more water than usual. Then I moved from Pennsylvania to Denver and really started to notice the difference. Every day I would wake up feeling as if I had a hangover. I thought it was just the altitude difference but as time went on things got even worse. So I went to the doctors to see if I was diabetic and they said I have an underactive thyroid. They gave me .05mg of levothyroxine “which isn’t a lot from what I understand” and I have been on it for almost a year now. They said I may be sensitive to high level as glucose but should just eat right and exercise. So I have a few questions
1.I’m only 21, is that normal
2.I wasn’t and still am not fat for having a “decrease appetite”
3.I still tend to get dry mouth and urinate a lot “back at sea level, Rhode island lots of humidity”
4.My meds say not to eat anything for an hour after taking it, which if I eat anything within 1.5-2hrs I usually feel like shit and get extreme dry mouth.
5.And ever since college I started to wet to bed every couple months “usually after drinking” is this because of excess blood sugar

A friend of mine have part of her thyroid being removed several years ago (not sure exactly why), and logically she’s having hypothyroidism problem currently, although the doctor gave her medicine to meet the requirement.
Anyone know how to fix this problem?
Thanks.
Oh yes, she’s been having bad mood and seems to forget simple things.
She is also gaining weight, but unfortunately no none seem to be able to stop her from consuming hi-fat/cholesterol food.
Is this common in such problem?

I had alot of the symptoms for underactive thyroid so I went to the dr. but all the blood work came back normal, at least what they consider normal. They ran a few more tests checking for arthritis and lupus but they were normal also so the dr. said he felt I had fibromyalgia and put me on cyclobenzaprine. Has anyone had the same thing happen to them.
