Hypothyroidism
« on: April 04, 2007, 02:00:01 PM »
So the doc has me on 50mcg levothyroxine aka synthroid everyday.  Has anyone here been diagnosed with Hypothyroidism and will the meds actually work? Because im gettin sick of feeling like shit everyday.

You have throid problems we won't know what kind of feelings you have, I've heard people that are put on synthroid often do feel like crap, and have stomach upset. Some it gets better some it kinda stays the same, give it time then talk to your doc, but don't go off your meds.

....he feel like shit because he has hypothyridsom and T4 is supposed to fix that problem.....50mcg is very low dose though that equals around 12 mcg of T3........it'll probably take a few weeks before you feel any improvement.....

Why synthroid is pretty useless for bodybuilders, more side effects then you would want to deal with.
