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.

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.

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.

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.

@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.

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?

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.
