Guest guest Posted January 1, 2006 Report Share Posted January 1, 2006 Hi everyone. I am so glad I came upon this sight. I was feeling pretty hopeless until I started reading some of the post. I am 48 and for the past couple of years have felt lousy, have had hair loss weight gain, fatigue, dry/thin skin, brittle fingernails & difficulty sleeping, and felt very hopeless. My Doc put me on an antidepressant which did not work. Then after me begging finally did a TSH level which she said was high normal. I finally saw another Doc & she did a TSH, T4 & T3 & put me on Syntroid 0.050 which worked for about a week, then she upped the dose to 0.075, which also worked for about a week. My symptoms have returned & I literally had to force myself to get off the couch this weekend. Are there any other test(s) that should be performed for a more thorough elvaluation of my thyroid? I'm also searching for a Doc that specializes with thyroid disorders. Any suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks & may 2006 be the best yet!
