Thank goodness it's not cancer, Irdra. My sis was diagnosed with mild hypothyroidism due to Hashimoto's, and she's been beyond frustrated since the doctors refuse to do anything to treat it, since it's "working well enough for now". The impression that I got from her is that they'll wait for it to get worse before they'll try to make it "better". Ugh. In any case, I hope the treatment will help you feel better, and there may be some dietary changes that could help, too. Some people notice improvements by cutting out dairy, soy and gluten. :)

Got my thyroid removed 10 years ago due to cancer. Don't worry, the first months are quite annoying but when you've found the right dosage, everything's fine. You only have to check it once or twice a year.

congrats on cake day!
I have a couple of friends that have thyroid related problems and my mother and grandmother as well. Need to take the medication. On the plus side it is a minor convenience to take the pill all the time and there are more horrible conditions out there. But is still sucks that you have to deal with this shit. I'm guessing they told you about the medication side effects about the weight changes?

yes, but with the medication dosage I think if it's too low you gain more easily weight and if it is over your lose weight. Or something like that. I'm not a doctor and my female friend explained this to me so it is better for you to ask the doctors or read about the medication.
Anyway, this female friend is just doing fine with this and I wouldn't even know if she hadn't told me about it.

Extreme tiredness, my hands and feet were more cold than usual, hair falling out, memory issues (thankfully not permanent), weight gain that I couldn't lose this summer (very unusual for me since I have usually have a very high metabolism), and pain in my legs and feet (would be so bad I couldn't walk or would wake me at night).

On a side note for those of you who have wondered where I disappeared to for the last month...I have been having alot of health problems lately and went to the doctor for a bunch of testing. They discovered that my thyroid was not working correctly anymore. I had to have a sonogram of my thyroid to rule out cancer. Thankfully it is not caused by cancer! I have been officially diagnosed with hypothyroidism caused by Hashimoto's disease. I look forward to this one little pill making me feel better but there is a catch...I have to go in for level testing every 6 weeks so they can adjust my dosage if needed. Did I mention the pill comes in 12 different dosage options? Oh well it could always be worse! Have a great weekend.
UPDATE
Happy Birthday to me! It has been three weeks since I started the pills. I have seen a big improvement in my energy but still not where I used to be but every bit helps when you have two kids to run after. One thing I'm really happy about is that my hair has stopped falling out and I hope that continues. The pain in my legs and feet have went from everyday to just once every 3 to 4 days now and is no where near as severe. The big downside is that this past week and a half I have experienced several dizzy spells. Dizziness can be caused by the thyroid not working correctly but is also listed as a side effect on my pills...so not sure what is causing them right now. I have three more weeks before I return to have my levels tested and can only hope for the best. Although I haven't replied to every comment rest assured that I have read them all and appreciate the shared info on experiences and well wishes. I hope you have enjoyed this month full of giveaways!
