That’s what my doctor used to tell me,everything is alright,you’re just a teenager that’s why you’re so tired… by the time i was diagnosed,i was depressed to the point i tried to commit suicide,if i combed my hair i would lose a handful,my skin was so dry and cracked,was pale as a ghost,passing out,missing school,insomnia became a part of everyday life even though i was tired as hell…
my gyno sent me to a specialist because i was bleeding for months…it’s so frustrating when doctors tell you nothing is wrong because each one of us knows their body the best and we know when something is wrong…
see an endocronologist and ask for armour thyroid thats the best becz its natural also consider taking iodine suppl
the endo’s never helped. i still have the 3 nodules on my thyroid and the one’s getting bigger. I do take iodine supplements. I was taking porcine for 6 months, but i find the iodine works better, so i just stopped the other. they were expensive anyway and i don’t miss them.
have u taken armour too?
It’s weird. I’ve had hypothyroidism all my life and I’ve never had any major problems. Synthroid keeps most of that in check.
I suffer from loss of hair, pail and wait gain with hypothryroidism…. I have a lot of other conditions though as well, which probaly by aggrevates my dysautonomia.
You are correct! Synthroid is a great med!
thanks 4 posting!
i just started crying because its so overwhelmingly nice to hear someone actually talk about hypothyroid and how horrible it feels…
im only 18–and im basically dying.
and my doctor is STILL forcing me to wait another 2 months before putting me on thyroid medication….its insane.
I almost died taking synthroid it gave me sever Diarrhea and burning stomach also I lost half of my hair on synthroid,My doc put me on armor and now I feel like I did before my thyroid was removed.If you have a thyroid synthroid may be o.k. but it only has t4 you need- t4- t3- t1- t2 and other trace elements that the synthetic drugs do not have.Natural drugs have all of the elements your body needs.
your post is making me think cause i havung diarrhea recently and i feel like im gonna vomit like my stomach dont feel right i am taking synthroid i have been on it almost two years but lately im not feeling well i think im gonna talk to my doctor about switching meds
cold hands feet and weight gain are not the most common symptoms if you are going to try to educate people start with yourself.
well why dont you educate her instead of putting her down on what she knows?
@jimbob202019 I am fed up with these “doctors” making false claims and these self appointed patient advocates creating hysteria without the real facts. before you try to promote a medical controversy you should earn a medical degree. ther eis a reason no endocrinologists endorse this crap.
synthroid doesn’t work for everyone that does NOT mean most people do well on natural thyroid either. find out who is pumping you will this BS and what they are actually selling: books and snake oils.
You must be a doctor. Only a doctor would be so arrogant as to comment that “You should earn a medical degree”. There are lots of extremely intelligent people who are not doctors actually. Imagine that…
Also, why are you so against people trying different treatments to get better? Obviously, you have not spent much time with those who have suffered on the wrong thyroid medicine.
Seriously, what exactly is your beef with docs trying to help thyroid patients feel better?
@lynncrf there is a vast amount of BS being manufactured by so-called natural doctors and companies that endangers lives and causes mistrust where it doesn’t belong. self appointed experts are not helping people.
Spin doctors are a problem in the health field yes; but I don’t see any spin doctors in the thyroid area. If you ask me, there is a heck of a lot of licensed medical professionals caught up in the spin of big pharma!
These docs are letting people know there is another med out there with a 100 year history of safe use. Thats not spinning; that is providing facts to the patient.
This is such an underrated illness and should be taken a lot more seriously. If it was treated properly alot more people would be more able bodied and be able to get on in life. I think we need a Treat the Thyroid seriously day.
I truly believe I have this. My feet have been freezing so bad lately that I’ve been sticking disposable heating pads in my socks. I also can’t even get out of bed, I feel like I can never get enough sleep, I have hair missing on the left side of my head. I gained lots of weight but I blamed my pregnancies. I take bupropion for depression. I’m just afraid if i go to the dr they probably will send me back home with nothing like always.
go to a walk in clinic or your doctor and ask him to get u a blood test for hypothyroid as soon as possible.most doctors overlook this.
Man, this describes me to a tee!
That bitch needs to stop cutting people off.
Man, when I started taking levothyroxin for hypothyroidism my weight shed off LIKE CRAZY. Holy crap. I lost about 50lbs. in about 2 years, not kidding. I didn’t really change my diet much or anything and I exercise about the same.
It’s dumb how hard hypothyroidism makes losing weight. I’m starting to gain weight again, way too fast and I’m tired a lot so I guess my dose should be increased.
