Wow. I can relate to so much of what you’ve said. Hair loss over your entire body. Although I really don’t mind having to shave too often. Lol
Eating well but still gaining weight, constant fatigue, joint pain are no joke. Hoping you find the right combination of meds to help you feel better. It does take some time and experimenting with different doses. Good luck!

Thank you Aaron,
I will be 72 this Wednesday. I was 28 when I was pregnant with my third son. He was born in 1977. I believe my thyroid blew during this pregnancy. I gained double the weight than my first two pregnancies. Then I noticed the 1/2 of an egg protrusion on my neck a year or so later. Then my doctor watched for years and treated with Synthroid. Finally, about 1985 they removed then had to go back in two day later when cancer was found. They removed 90% of my thyroid lobes. It has made this lifetime difficult. In the 1980’s the only book I could findAN was written by Dr Broda Barnes, HYPOTHYROIDISM, THE UNSUSPECTED ILLNESS. Dr Barnes believed in treating symptoms, not T3 & T4. He believed in taking your Basal Body Temperature to determine hypothyroid illness. Dr Barnes strongly believed that doctors cannot make money on a basal body temperature, taken at home, by the patient. It was my feeling that greed caused doctors to stop treating symptoms. It was free. No profit to be made there. Much better to draw blood, send to a lab and charge insurance and patients huge amounts. I SCRATCH YOUR BACK, YOU SCRATCH MINE. DR BARNES DID NOY SAY THIS, BUT MY BRAIN STILL WORKS. THANKS TO DR BRODA BARNES, EVEN THOUGH I’ve never met him, I’ve understood what was happening. TAKING YOUR BASAL BODY TEMPERATURE IS THE BEST TEST YOU CAN DO.
