Hormone creams symptoms and conditions

I was born without a thyroid gland so I can't compare the way I feel now to the way I would've felt with a thyroid. I've been on Synthroid my entire life (22 years), and I'm up to 112 mcg now. I am very skinny (5'5", 104 lbs) and feel constantly fatigued no matter how many hours I sleep, what I eat, and how much exercise I get. I periodically get pain in my hip joints, heart palpitations, and intense mood swings. My thoughts race but I have very little physical energy. I feel restless and gloomy almost all the time for absolutely no good reason. My doctor tells me I'm depressed but I honestly have no reason to be depressed and I wish she would see it as a symptom instead of a diagnosis. I graduated from a good college, I've got a job I like, I have friends, I enjoy life and my hobbies, yet I feel overwhelmingly sad. This does not seem like depression to me.

I find that after I do aerobics I get a tightness in my chest, which makes me worry about my heart, but again my doctor doesn't seem to think this is cause for concern. I have been irritable/fatigued for YEARS and I suspect I'll feel this way for the rest of my life. The worst of it started when I hit 16 years old and started the 112 mcg. My tests are always normal and it frustrates me that my doctor disregards my symptoms. I've tried other doctors, but they always send me away with my 'normal' test results. Can anybody help?

hi nightowl.
you won't find insomnia or anxiety listed on the side effects leaflet that comes with yasmin but you will definately find them and many many more listed on here,if yasmin is making you feel like this now STOP taking it before it gets any worse,please take a few minutes to read through some of the posts here from women that have been suffering some awful effects. i do dispute that yasmin may be a "wonder pill" for some women but for many of us it is the worst pill we have ever taken. i am ansure as to why your doctor has put you on birth control pills at your age,i understood it was risky to prescribe the pill to women over 35 due to the higher risk of thrombosis,heart attacks and strokes etc? have you discussed using natural bio identical hormone creams to ease your symptoms. pro-gest is meant to be very good. please discuss your symptoms with your doctor but do not let them tell you yasmin cannot possibly cause these effects,there are thousands of women here who KNOW differently.
best wishes to you nightowl.
