Alicia...I have had dealt with thyroid problems for the last 5 years. Glad you are getting treatment. The worst of my side effects was double vision which had to be corrected with surgery due to the severity. At the moment it is under control, but when it gets out of whack I am extremely tired and cold all the time. At one point I was so cold, everyone made fun of me. I wore long sleeves in the summer!!! Good luck with your treatment. You will feel much better in a couple months.
I'm 50 years old and have not had my thyroid checked but one time and that was when I was 38. And from what I've read here that can read normal on the test even when you have thyroid problems. Wonder if that is why I am retaining weight? My calorie intake a day is around 1300 calories, I always feel tired. Don't have a problem with being cold though, but I do and have noticed for years that my eyebrows in spots are thin and some of my eyelashes are thin, won't grow back, I do have dry skin, and have constant sinus issues, and hoarseness at times. But I'm not sure this is related to that. Something to think about the next time I see my OBGYN or another doctor if they can check for it.
Thanks Iwishiwasthere and Lady D. We can't makes groups right now. Daddy-o said maybe in the future, but we can post to this thread. Lady D, I've always had the cold feet and hands things and my temps always ran lower than normal, even when I was sick. I quit smoking almost two years ago and never got that burst of energy that I had gotten before when I quit.
My question of the day to all the SoWal Thyros is how did you handle the shedding. My doc mumbled that it would probably get worse, before it got better when I started taking the synthroid. Yesterday, I was not happy when I saw the results after shampooing in the drain. It gave me a sads....

My hair became brittle and thin before the synthroid, and has slowly improved over three years. Its almost back to normal. Eyebrows have thinned too.
The insert says it may temporarily increase the hair loss the first few months you are on it and with the latest bump up earlier this week, it really did a number on me yesterday. Eyebrows not thinning. Hope I stop shedding soon
My body temp stays around 97.6. Never see it at 98.6, which is supposed to be normal, unless I have sinus problems, then what is normal to most temp wise is fever to me.
My daughter-in-law asked me what I had done to my eyebrows years ago, she noticed a thin bald looking spot in one of them and thought I had tried to shave them, why would I want to do that? I told her I never have done that and I haven't. Wonder if you get sore throats with thyroid problems? I sure have plenty of them.
