With my thyroid disease my symptoms include cold intolerance, brain fog, loss of hair, nails falling apart, weight gain.....etc. I've got 48 out of 50 symptoms and have been taking thyroid medications over 11 years. Armour worked the best until they decided I should change and now I am a mess and worse. Going back to Armour at a lower dose but something is still wrong. I am allergic to seafood and iodine. Really sick of whole process at this point.

I experience weight gain and weight loss with my thyroid disease. I can lose 4 or 5 pounds in a couple of days if I do not eat right. I gain it back if I eat right, but I still remain underweight. It's very hard to get at my optimum weight. I'm 5 feet 10 inches tall, and I weigh 129 to 130 pounds undressed.

I had significant hair loss and had no idea why. Also, I had constipation, brain fog, fluid retention, exhaustion, and no motivation. It felt as though my legs could hardly move or like I was walking through thigh-high mud. All I wanted to do was lie down. I became depressed and emotionless. I had a huge weight gain and it felt like nothing I ate ever turned into energy. Which was exactly right. Some people don't understand how debilitating and life-affecting it can be.

Doctors always tell me that I have hypothyroidism, based on my tsh levels, I am doubtful since I only have a problem with hair loss. I have tried Levothyroxine before, but I experienced heart palpitations, and I have been told by a new doctor that I need medication again, no thanks.

I have been taking Levoxyl 137MCG half tablet every day for the last two years, now my doctor prescribes Levoxyl 75MCG. I have constipation, always cold some hair falling out. Tell me if I will be better with this medication or I need something different.
