Does anyone else think Synthroid doesn't completely work for them?
I am just wondering if anyone else still suffers symptoms of hypothyroidism even though they are taking their medication properly and their tests are coming back in the normal range.

- Many people have found this to be true, myself included. The muscle aches are usually a symptom that screams you need both T4 & T3. Synthoid is only T4. I will post a few links below that you will find quite interesting. Myself I switched to Armour thyroid about 3 years ago and the only hypo symptoms I now have are cold feet at night and ridged fingernails. I had almost every hypo symptom there was previously. Feel free to contact me if you want. I have come to yahoo questions to try to help others who were like me a few years ago. There's no need to continue to suffer. There is hope out there. You just need to educate yourself. Good luck!
- I take it and find my symptoms are aleiveated by synthroid...and without it I pack on the weight - but I still struggle with my weight when on a theraputice dose...it can't "cure" you...some people are just made to struggle with weight, I guess..but drinking lots of water and exercising regularly along with a healthy diet works...at least that way your body isn't working against you!
- I would say the medication has not helped at all with taking the weight back off.
