My levels were fine but due to having all the symptoms my endo decided to put me Levothyroxine 25mg. I had my last child in 2019 (37 and I am now 39) and I have had all the symptoms of hypothyroidism since. I had a partial thyroidectomy in 2015 due to a nodule and hyperparathyroidism. The fact of the matter is that we are putting drugs into our system and I guess just have to accept that this is how it’s going to be.When I asked PCP that I take the more natural route, she explained there “really was no natural remedy for hypothyroidism, that the Armour Thyroid was certainly not natural!” I’m working with my acupuncturist to see if he can help this situation. My hydration is fine I drink sufficient amount of water and other non-alcoholic beverages to keep myself hydrated. Over the past year I have gained approximately 15 pounds and regardless of food intake do not lose weight?! In addition I have a gun sweating profusely intermittently as if I’m going through menopause hot flashes recently So when I work out I sweat twice as much. My thyroid has been OK for the last year in normal range I just retired and continue to work out 3 to 5 times a week religiously, incl pilates, cardio and strength training. At one point I again became very anxious for no obvious reas ons and turned out I was hypothyroid again so I had to increase my dosage slightly. I finally decided to clean my system out and only take the generic which is less potent and I am on the lowest dose available. I began seeing only the PCP there, and over a period of about 18 months my TSH numbers were a roller coaster. Read More Read Lessīefore taking the generic While on This med for years and going to Mayo Clinic When blood tests came back normal, The endocrinologist insisted The unusual anxiety I was experiencing must be in my head. If you too a struggling, find and endocrinologist that can truly help you because my life has changed. I can't wait to see how I feel in even a week or a month. I literally cannot wait to wake up and take this medication again. I just assumed that I was getting older and my body was changing. I truly forgot what it felt like to feel normal. I have energy, I can see my chin and my pants fit. It's literally falling off and I feel like an entirely new person. I dropped 12 pounds in 5 days on this medication. I have taken it for 5 days and weighed myself this morning and I weighed 178 pounds. I finally went to an endocrinologist a week 1/2 ago and she prescribed me 25 mcg levythyroxine with a TSH at 6.4. No matter what I did, I woke up so tired and SO bloated. I went from being a college athlete at 155 pounds to 190 pounds in 3 years. I was so bloated, everything swollen all the time, depressed, tired and gradually gaining weight while eating extremely clean and working out 6 days a week. I have been struggling with sublical hypothyroidism for 3 years or so with my TSH gradually rising.
