Welcome to my hell! If I could choose to have my thyroid back, I take it and take my chances with the cancer. Well lets see... I take .300mcg of Synthroid and generally feel good only when I forget to take my medication for a couple of days. After about 3 days, I start feeling tired and will eventually start crashing for 10 to 12 hours at a time. OH! Ive heard that it takes weeks to level out, but I can feel the difference in about 3 days. Of course, the doctor says that's not possible, but then - he is holding my thyroid hostage. I have gained 30 lbs. Have headaches frequently, get moody, AND now I get bloated when I eat. Im ready to try the Armour thing that Ive read about. Cytomel makes my heart race. Im pretty sure that smoking helps! I read that it lowers your TSH levels. Im just tired of feeling like sh_t all the time.

Replying to my own post, I forgot about the strange and less than comforting dreams I've been having since taking the medication. Anyone else have been having bad dreams as a side effect?
