I find eating better and keeping my stomach full helps me feel better. Is Levoxyl the same as Synthroid? That's what I'm on. I'm fairly new to the thyroid thing though, just since before I got pregnant with Mia. Good luck!bevanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11024729706522373698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5248535254444278119.post-46039527732925794592008-07-16T09:07:00.000-06:002008-07-16T09:07:00.000-06:00hypothyroidism sucks. like the commentor mentioned...hypothyroidism sucks. like the commentor mentioned before, the thyroid controls so many different aspects in your body. it sucks they dont have the right dose for you yet but hang in there and once you get on a steady dose, you wont even feel the effects you are feeling now. wish i could be of more help. candy and ice cream always seems to do the trick for me (hence the weight). shall i send the ice cream truck man your direction, after i un-tie him and let him out of my closet? he may be low on push-ups. i cleaned him out.CoLiE-Ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04143075481863268764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5248535254444278119.post-66234855956139391772008-07-15T23:09:00.000-06:002008-07-15T23:09:00.000-06:00i got nothin'but drugs are good.hope you feel bett...i got nothin'<BR/><BR/>but drugs are good.<BR/><BR/>hope you feel betterMindihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00794721421123889876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5248535254444278119.post-70736972464026745292008-07-15T21:30:00.000-06:002008-07-15T21:30:00.000-06:00I remember you had thyroid issues. The thyroid cha...I remember you had thyroid issues. The thyroid changes naturally with age (which may explain your dosage increase). Synthetic TSH (levothyroxine) is preferred over the animal extract (desiccated thyroid). As you know the thyroid controls your basal metabolic rate and can effect EVERY system of the body (which explains mood swings, sleepiness etc). can you tell I took Patho last fall? :) I hope you can find a dosage that evens you out. I can imagine how overwhelming this feels. You are awesome, all you can do is your best so don't beat yourself up if someone else has to hold the Universe together for awhile!! You're an inspiration!qponqwnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06854213794935578608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5248535254444278119.post-34611747493727456042008-07-15T19:07:00.000-06:002008-07-15T19:07:00.000-06:00My neighbor was recently diagnosed with a thyroid ...My neighbor was recently diagnosed with a thyroid problem and she was put on a diet free of refined sugars. She said it helps. I don't know if it's the same thyroid problem as yours, but maybe it would help a little.Bethanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08558554076795750971noreply@blogger.com
