You will never feel "normal" on Synthroid. I couldn't get the doctor to give me anything else either but since having had my thyroid removed, and going to a naturalpath, I now use Naturthroid (or westhroid) and it is great since it has all the Ts (3, 4 etc..). The regular doctors don't want to give you this cuz it is too hard (they say) to regulate. So I suffer because they are too lazy to help????? gimme a break.
CONGRATULATIONS................ Awesome news.
Best of luck and do keep us posted.
I do not have cancer!! Yea! Now, just waiting for surgery to be scheduled.
Not everyone requires a brand name of levothyroxine; some do very well on generics. I actually did better on generic levo than I did on Synthroid.
Thank you for your post. I have been Hypo for 28 years. Last fall my T3 plummeted and I was diagnosed with a tumor on my Pituitary gland. They have me on meds. I was thrilled to here it can go away. Everything I have read before you said it never goes away and people eventually have to have it surgically removed. As for Synthroid, insist on the same brand of whatever you use. Do not allow them to substitute generics or your numbers will be all over the chart. Hypo and Pituitary problems can cause depression. Just an FYI.
I had pains and trouble breathing when I exerted myself much at all. I had a CT scan done last week & they found a mass. 5.2 cm long & behind my sternum. Not sure of the width, because originally it was 3.4 cm wide, but that was just on one side. When they did the biopsy, they found a bigger mass on the other side as well. I'm waiting for results.
I am told that I will have to have my thyroid totally removed. Nothing I read is encouraging. But my sister-in-law has been on thyroid meds for about 40 years & is doing just fine. I have high hopes. I'll keep reading and keep you posted.
