Hypothyroidism, After Thyroid Removal
"I began taking Levothyroxine at 25 MCG in October of 2015, I had my partial removal of my right thyroid gland when I was 19 yrs old. I am now 37 and just started taking meds. I was always tired and overweight. Now I take the medication to be honest I don&#039;t feel different anyway. I know I&#039;m always constipated and I&#039;m in the process of trying to lose 20 more lbs but I&#039;m stuck at the weight and it isn&#039;t coming off. I was put on thyroid medication by a weight loss doctor and just remained on them after I quit.
For years I never took any medication but wake up every morning to take this pill. So far the meds don&#039;t really make me feel any different. I&#039;m very active and work out a lot. Just doesn&#039;t do much for me but afraid if I stop now I will have side effects."
