Hypothyroidism, After Thyroid Removal
"I am so frustrated. My endocrinologist keeps saying my labs are just right on 88 mcg daily of levothyroxine. But I am miserable since thyroidectomy 3 years ago. He originally had me on a higher dose but brought it down twice. I&#039;ve gained 35 pounds, lost a lot of my hair, have constant headaches, vision problems, body aches  and absolutely no energy! The doctor says it&#039;s not because of my thyroid meds and says there is no alternative medication and he will not increase the dosage either. I am increasingly depressed by this but don&#039;t know where to turn. I have also lost much bone mass but refused Prolia because of known side effects."
