I am a type l diabetic 45yrs of age. I have been on Synthroid for several years (now about 13) since I became a diabetic. I had a hysterectomy two years ago. I have been on Vivelle patches, Estradol, Premarin and for the longest Enjuvia and just recently changed to Estragel. For the last six months I have been experiencing lifeless hair, breaking off. I have never experienced anything like this. I am very frustrated.

I have taken Synthroid for 23 years. The first 3 years I did okay on it but over the past 20 I started to feel losey. I'm tired all the time and very irritable. I've taken from .050 MG to .125. I still feel bad. It's been adjust at least 30 to 35 times through the course of 23 years. I feel totally helpless and hopeless. My doctor will not change my thyroid medication.

I've been taking Synthroid for a few years and has really helped. My dose has gone up several times. I can really tell a change in how I feel now, then before I was taking it. Tried the generic and it actually made me feel worse so I am taking the name brand only.

I was born without a thyroid and I've been taking Synthroid every night. I'm only 13. I have to tell you this is the best thing ever. If I didn't have this medication I would be barely alive. I wouldn't be this tall either (5'7). This medicine is my life-line.

I've being taking Synthroid for 3 years now. It was hard to reach the right dosage since I used to take Puran T4 (NOT marketed in the USA) 75 mg and had to adjust the Synthroid to 100mg instead. I've being feeling great since!

I have been taking Synthroid for about eight years now. I have tried the generic Levoxothyrine and it makes shaky all over even at the same dosage. My history has been going from hyperthyroid, caused by thyroiditis, to hypothyroid afterwards. I take my dose religiously every morning 1 hour before breakfast. Even in light of this I seem to have great fluctuations in my levels. I assume this is more a physiological problem than that of the medication. When we get it leveled out, I feel well.

IF YOU BOIL UP BALSOM TEA EVERY DAY FOR ONE MONTH YOU WILL CUT YOUR COLESTRAL AND YOUR THYROID DOWN TO WHERE YOU DONT HAVE TO TAKE DRUGS. ITS NO QUICK FIX BUT ITS A LOT BETTER THAN TAKING DRUGS. MY WIFE IS GOING OFF A LOT OF DRUGS AND FEELS A LOT BETTER.
