Will my underactive thyroid symptoms go away once I start my meds?
I have a VERY LOW underactive thyroid (according to my doctor it is terribly low).
I have really bad symptoms like everything with me is wrong, my hair falls out like no tomorrow, just chunks at a time, and its like dead straw hair. my muscles are super weak, if I write two sentences my arms will start to ache, I recently gained 30 pounds (when I was eating less and exercising more, my doctor says its cause my metabolism is so slow from my underactive thyroid thats why I am gaining weight), I get really bad shortness in breathe, pale, poor memory, swollen hands and feet, Hoarseness or deepening of the voice, brittle thin nails, bad immune system, heavy periods, joint pain, EVERYTHING! it causes soo many problems, ecspecially with the horsey throat and the dry hair falling out soo much, weight gain, swollen fingers and muscle soreness there my main big problems..
they are truly ruining my life, I am starting my meds next week, are my symptoms going to gradually go away (I really hope so) or am I going to have them all my life. Pleaseee people help me and answer me my mind is baffled with these questions, I need a clear answers.
Thank you soo much, GOD BLESS!

It may take a couple of weeks, but you will definitely feel much better. Most of the time, the doctor will start you on an estimated dose then draw your blood level in a week or two, then adjust your dose until they get it just right. Be patient; you will be fine.
