I am at a normal weight and actually get too WARM I think. not sure why I would be hypo?

still not sure why I am hypo, I don't seem to fit the symptoms.

You are actually the first person who has said they were hypo and hot. Ussually hypos are cold.

My THS levels are normal and my goiter (swelling) has gone down. But I feel worse then ever.

I do not match all Hypo symptoms either. I am skinny - skinny.

I am so tired and brain dead by the time I see my endo. All I say to her is ,"I don't understand i am so tired". She say something or other. And I say, "I don't understand _ I am so tired".

I want to know more about the parathyroid. There is very interesting info about that. Do a search on it. Bad parathyroid is called the "moans, groans, and bones" disease.

I've had underactive thryoid about 20 yrs. on synthroid/levoxin tablets. This past 8 months, my dosage went down, and I will be on this the REST of my life.

Also, be sure to have your blood sugar tested to see if you are now a diabetic too. The thryoid is a sx of that too.

Flygirl - where did you get a picture of my cats? Seriously, they look just like my cats. How do I add pictures here?

I was diagnosed as hypo about 4 yrs. ago. It seemed to help with many of the symptoms. My speciaiest put me in it even though I was considered subclinical. Agian, it was more of a clinicala dignosis. I gained 80 lbs. before the diagnosis was made. Now I am down to a size 0 (I think now becausea the parasites are using my food supply). Not healthy I know, but I'm having a lot of probelms with food and keeping ti down as well.

My specialist also stated that once the thryroid is destroyed by a virus or bacteria, it is very difficult to get back to functioning on its own.

the weird thing is - I don't have any of the symptoms:

not tired.

weight: in the past year, strictly due to inactivity (swollen knees, hard to exercise) I gained 5 pounds. however, since this treatment I've felt better and in just the past few weeks I've dropped a few bc I am finally walking again.

HOT. I keep my heat on 66 at night - still sleep with a sheet and just a Tshirt - and still will wake up with a damp T shirt. if anything I would think I am hyper not hypo.

will this drug then exacerbate my hypER symptoms? make me even warmer, lose weight I really don't need to lose, etc?

What does your temperature, as measured by a thermometer run? It can be low, 96 or 97, and you can still feel like you are hot, because your 'thermostat' is misadjusted.
