This is a post from 2007...
I WAS BORN WITHOUT THYROID GLAND TAKING 100MG OF THROXINE A DAY BUT FEELING VERY TIRED LATELY ALTHOUGH MY DOC SAID MY LAVELS ARE FINE ALSO MY MEMORY HAS ALWAYS BEEN BAD AND I FORGET THINGS REGULARY DOES ANY BODY ELSE EXPERIENCE THESE SYMPTOMS
I'm not looking forward to it, and am actually kind of scared!! I'm hoping that I don't feel too awful, but reading some of the posts on here where people are extremely hypo - it doesn't sound so good. Good luck to you!! I think our saving grace will be this forum.

I think I have had all this before the suegery I guess it can't get better than This :-((((((
Here's some of the symptoms of hypothyroidism (got them from the internet):
Fatigue
Weakness
Weight gain or increased difficulty losing weight
Coarse, dry hair
Dry, rough pale skin
Hair loss
Cold intolerance (can't tolerate the cold like those around you)
Muscle cramps and frequent muscle aches
Constipation
Depression
Irritability
Memory loss
Abnormal menstrual cycles
Decreased libido
I think that's going to be me in about two weeks. Sounds like bunches of fun!! :-(
