Thyroid Problems - Hypo?!


Question:

Thyroid Problems - Hypo?

I have been on medication for at least 7 weeks now, my Dr keeps increasing my Synthroid and I am hoping this will get my life back on track! Does anyone out there know how long it takes to get your energy back? I am truely flabbergasted about loosing some significant weight, but I want my energy to back to normal! I have all the symptoms that are listed with a Hypothyroid problem and my TH something test was extremely high and it is getting lower per every blood test I get taken, thank goodness! That would be cool if someone could let me know from there own experience. Thanks a bunch if you respond!


Answers:

I have had hypothyroidism since I was 5. I am now 26. When you are just starting out on your medication, it can take up to six weeks for your body to adjust (and that includes if you miss your medication days in a row) once you get on track, you will feel good, but i've noticed over the years that my dosage has changed every couple of years, and the levels aren't an exact science. The doctors aim to stay with in a range of numbers. Myself personally, I feel better when my levels are on the lower end, but for years they kept me on the higher end. It all depends on your doctor.
