Really? Everything I have read says that the meds will actually cause you to lose a little weight because the condition itself causes weight gain.

No weight gain, cold sensitivity or a lot of other issues for me. But I used to get stopped up often, which sucked. I'd go a few days before pushing out a sandbag, and I got tired of feeling like I got fisted.
I keep the pills and a bottle of water by my bedside, so when I wake up in the middle of the night to piss I pop one for the day. Doneski. |

Me too, that's why when I almost always wake up around 3 or 4 a.m. to piss, I take it then. Go back to bed for a couple hours and I'm good when I wake up- no waiting to eat.

I've been taking levothyroxine for a little over a year. I only have to wait 30 minutes to eat, and take my 2nd and 3rd (of 5) pill I take every day. I tend to have a little more energy when I take it, and it's cheap.

That's a little strange. When I started taking mine - my Doctor told me to take it at night before bed. Said it was easier on the stomach. I've never experienced any stomach problems....

yep, I know. My mom has to take a few and I know a few people that have to take several. I just hate starting this early in life.

I was tested too, and they were gonna zap my thyroid, then the doc decided the test results were incorrect, they tested me again, and decided to leave me alone. Ended up spending about $500 on specialist visits for nothing.

sounds like my son. He had this annoying persistent cough that was keeping him from sleeping. a few friends said it was just gerd and we mentioned that to the doc. The doc ran a few test then ssent him to a EENT specialist. The specialist ran nearly $1000 in tests on him only to determine it was ****ing gerd. I was pissed and let them know it. Will never allow his doc to refer to that specialist ever again.
