Hello Ladies....I am 56 and diaged Hashimotos disease 3 years ago...

You sound just like me. Diagnosed with hypothyroid back in 1995 and have been taking Synthroid for a period of years. My weight goes up and down like a yo yo and know in the last year to six months not sure how many times we have increased and decreased my dosage I am so frustrated and now I am wondering if the awful headaches I am getting might be something related to the Synthroid. I get the sweats and tremors with the headaches and just doing something like picking up my kids things off the floor I break out in a sweat to where I have to change my shirt.

First of...haha I wanted to reply because you have a great sense of humor! I am a 29 year old female who was diagnosed with a low thyroid after I asked specifically for a t3 and t4 test..my tsh has always come out totally normal, but I just had a gut feeling that it was my thyroid ( and yes ok...I will admit..maybe Oprah had a bit to do with it) anyways they syarted me off on the classic 25mg now Im up to 100 mg and feel like a piece of crap still?! what in the???....I have been blessed enough to be referred to an endo which will only take a full year to get in! are you kidding me already? I have a feeling that it is not my thyroid and that there is some other underlying diagnosis for my health issues! ANYWAYS....I have heard about iodine as well, and read that it may no tbe the best idea to mix with your thyroid meds, cuz it actually acts counterproductively with them?! I dont know..its just something I read....everyone seems to have something different to say! Hope you get to the bottom of your issues and find a peace with it all :)

apparently I am new to this site and I do not know what I am doing! pardon me..but I also notice ( and I know you were joking) that you said you owned stocks in aveeno....I have heard wonderful things about their products...do you reccommend a certain cream of theirs?...my skin is terribly dry from my eltroxin as well!
