Synthroid Natural Pathic, Cracking Knees, Total Thyroidectomy, Brain Fog, Thyroid Levels

I cannot believe I came across this website,I had a total thyroidectomy when I was 18 yrs old,I have been taking synthroid for 23 years,and my whole life I have suffered many of the side effects that everyone else is experiencing,but I have just learned to live with them.I suffer from anxiety,fatigue,brain fog,really bad memory,joint pain,cracking knees,hair loss,I recently went to a natural pathic Dr,and she told me my whole problem was my synthroid meds,she had given me some thyrodium to try,but after speaking with my family Dr I decided not to take it because she said it could cause palpitations,my thyroid levels are normal according to my blood work,and it took years to get them normal,but what the heck is normal,I certainly dont feel normal!I am just so glad I found this website because now I know I am not going crazy,that these symptoms are not in my head,they are real,thank you everyone for taking the time to post your side effects it has certainly changed my way of thinking!
