1 MONTH on medication
I've been Synthroid for Central Hypothyroidism for a month now. For the first week, I was only on 25 mcg's. I called my doc and told him that I wasn't feeling any better. Of course - I wouldn't feel much better, it had only been ONE week, but I thought that maybe I should feel a tiny bit better. He asked me to come into the office and when I got there, they weighed me. Not only was my weight not stabilizing, I had gained SIX pounds in ONE week. My doctor was horrified!
He immediately kicked my dosage up to 75 mcg's / day. When I went back last week, week 3 of 4, I hadn't lost any weight, but I hadn't gained any either. Miracle of Miracles! They took my blood again and now I will more than likely have my dosage increased, but things are getting better. I am now awake more than 14 hours a day AND I feel a little bit better with a less-cloudy head.
I'll keep everyone informed of my progress. If you have the same illness or a similar one, please contact me!
