Hypothyroid 14 years

[Nancy968]

Taking 150mg Syn from 1994 to date.  I was 130 pounds when this started now I am 198 pounds and depressed.  I have leg pain, chest pain and sometimes cannot hardly move.  My younger sister has Fibermynoia (spelling?) and sometimes I feel like I am developing this problems.  Especially on the days when it hurts with piercing pain different spots in my legs and back.  I have tryed to exercise at least 2 times per week on my treadmill and weight bench.  I have been through menopause at least five years now.  I fell like I am dieing.  Several times my test have come back weird with my T3 being to the high side and T4 being to the low side and vis-a-versa.  The doctor wanted to wait three months and test again.  Sometimes it would be okay and some times we would wait another 3 months.  He was totally unsure what was going on but thought it might be my nerves due to my sister and brother having cancer and passing away within a year of each other.  
I appreciate everyones comments and I will work on the diet part of this because I do eat sweets constantly.  I love vegetables but my family does not so I am on my own.  
Suggestions are welcomed. ????
