i've been on synthroid for 9 years. started at some low dose and gradually went up to112 mg. get extreme itching all day everyday if i don't take allegra for that.not a rash just itching. that doesn't bother me as much as the fatique. every joint in my body aches all the time. sure there are better days but fo rthe most part it's bad. tried physical therapy and chiripratic care but no avail. they ended my sessions. my legs get sooo weak and my feet burn lower back really aches. sometimes muscle cramps. i'm very negative towards my loving family and it hurts me to do so. can't seem to keep upbeat. soo tired all the time.
is it the syntroid? i used to be very energenic and a doer. now i have spurts of activity in the morning , but then i just can't get motivated. help me any suggestions?

hi there-
well just to fill you in im a 33 year old woman living in brooklyn, ny.
i was recently diagnosed as having a thyroid tumor-
there were also nodule growth on my thyroid-
i was so frustrated when they told me ---they could tell me i had cancer- but they could not tell me it didn't unless they removed the whole thing.
so two weeks ago out she came- tumor , thyroid and all. the aspirate showed that it was a solid mass- and the test result was "suspicious"
i have noticed since i have been on the synthroid-
leg pains- anxiety and depression.
i may be shakey but i am still taking the pain meds-
i think to even out the whole emotions that go with the experience-
i just saw my neck for the first time two days ago-
i feel like a peez dispenser-
and feel constant feeling( almost like a pressure) where the surgery was performed-
they say it might be environmental or genetic. it does seem to be prevolent in the north east-
im still figuring this whole thing out-really
but it helps to hear other testimonies- the leg cramps were really bothering me!

I Had half of my thyroid removed 16 years ago. I was immediately put on synthroid. It made me crazy. I had rage and emotions that I couldn't control. I went through 2 divorces because of synthroid. I did not realize that was what was causing it. My doctors thought that i was crazy when I told them my symtoms. It must be the help of God because I stopped taking synthroid and started doing research and found out that sea weed would help me and do the same thing that synthroid did. Just a flake or two a day has been helping me for almost 2 years now. I feel great without the side effect that I would normally get from synthroid. Two much will make you weak though but the small about I take works just fine for me.
