NO energy. Her TSH and T4 levels are kept at anormal range and it

having no luck. I am on Synthroid and have been for at least 10 years

Synthroid the dr gives me I still have no energy and the weight isn't

going anywhere. If someone could give me some help it would be

greatfully appreciated.

about what Kimberli wrote:

This may come as a big surprise, but Synthroid IS bioidentical. A

non-bioidentical hormone would be something like what you find in soy,

chemicals that mimic estrogen in their effects, which fit the same

receptors, but aren't the same molecule at all. Synthroid is T4,

levothyroxine, the same identical molecule you find in Armour and in a

functioning thyroid.

So, what is the " normal " range you are citing for TSH and T4 in your 13

year old. That is one of the most controversial of definitions, but you

refer to it as if being in the " normal " range would insure you of

perfect health. It definitely won't, depending on which definition of

" normal " range you use.
