After reading your comment and wiping the tears from my eyes, I feel compelled to tell you that I had my thyroid taken out 3 years ago and once the doctor got my Synthroid adjusted properly, I'm back to a normal life and doing everything I could before the operation! I haven't gained any weight and I haven't been depressed until reading your comment! As you read everyone's comments, remember that each of us have different problems so, not everything you read is because of removing one's thyroid! Have a long and prosperous life!
There is absolutely no need to be so concerned. What you read on the Forum are stories from hypothyroid patients that don't have good thyroid doctors who understand how to test and treat hypothyroidism. Now that you have found this Forum you can count on all the support you need and all the information you need to assure effective treatment. So, in order for us to best help you we need some basic information from you.
When was the TT done? When did you start on the Synthroid? What is your daily dosage of Synthroid? Do you have any other symptoms besides depression? If tested since the TT please post the results and their reference ranges shown on the lab report.
As you proceed always keep in mind that a good thyroid doctor will treat a hypo patient clinically by testing and adjusting Free T4 and Free T3 as necessary to relieve symptoms, without being constrained by resultant TSH levels. Symptom relief should be all important, not just test results, and especially not TSH results. If your doctor is unwilling to treat clinically as described, then we will help you find a good thyroid doctor, if you will tell us your location.
I am 20 years old and recently had my entire thyroid taken out because I had cancer. It has been a very stressful situation. I have felt depressed ever since I started synthroid. Reading what all these people have gone through gives me so much anxiety. I don't want to have to deal with depression, anxiety, fatigue and weight gain the rest of my life. I can't help but think it will not even be worth it to live if I will only be going through a struggle and suffering the rest of my life.
