Hi- I just wanted to let you both know that you are not going to see any results for 4-6 weeks. My endo dr said it took 7-10 days for the Synthroid to absorb into my body, but really a good month to see if my meds were leveled. I just had a blood test at 4 weeks post op and I had to lower my dose as of Sat. Hang in there... it takes time.

Just wanted to let you know I'm in the same boat. Tons of my hair has fallen out, I'm exhausted all the time, my periods are unpredictable... ( even though they were like clock work 6 yrs. ago ) My T4 was .7 and my Dr. told me that I should be about a 1.3. I started 75 mcg 5 days ago and haven't noticed a THING. In fact I think I have become SO MUCH MORE TIRED. After reading up on all this I am beginning to think the endocrinologist is the way to go. I can't wait till I can get back into my Dr. ( which is almost impossible ) to find out what I can do to feel better. I was so thrilled on Tues. to think that this med was going to 'solve' how crappy I feel. Now I'm just really disapointed, and EXHUASTED!
