I have been on Synth since june of last year and have steadily gained weight to the tune of 22 lb! Most of my symptoms ( Fatigue, joint pain, dizziness, foggy thinking) have gone away, but the heavy ever lasting periods are still here, as is my extremely terrible acne and the numbness in my hands.Also have daily headaches that never subside. I just went off the synthroid all together yesterday and am hoping that I start to lose this weight. I have been diagnosed with asthma and am now on Advair, so I am hoping that it will make me feel better, maybe all of my symptoms were related to lack of oxygen! Cross your fingers that all of the bad symptoms don't return, I will post back when I notice a difference, either way.
I love that you all have the courage to post here. We must self diagnose, most dr's don't care, we are but numbers to them
Thanks to all
