I was slowly built up to 100 synthroid, but I still feel terrible. My blood work for Thyroid tests are good. I also have a feeling of a lump in throat and was told by my Dr. that I have LPR Reflux. (I was put on Prilosec) Anyone else have this? Any suggestions?
I had my thyroid removed on May 28, 2014?

You had your thyroid removed? If so the feeling with your throat may well be tightened skin from the surgery. If you are having problems swallowing then you should see a doctor right away. It may or may not be involved with the surgery. After all, stuff happens. It takes months to adjust thyroid medication. Generally every six weeks or so one gets another blood test to see how the TSH is doing. An endocrinologist is needed for this. They start conservatively and then adjust until you feel,ok. Are you remembering to take your daily calcium? That is also important. And finally, are you taking the thyroid med when you wake up in the morning worth a full glass of water

Thank you very much for responding. Yes, I take my Medicine 1st thing in the morning with water. I still feel crappy I am on 100 mcg of Synthroid. My Surgeon (Ear, Nose, & Throat) is the one that is watching my progress, I don't have an Endocrinologist. My TSH is .31 so I guess I'm still in the building phase.

It is a good start where you are. The medication takes a few weeks to adjust each time it is changed. Sounds like you are on the right track, good luck to you. You will soon be feeling normal and not without all the fatigue.

Thank you for responding! Last night I had a Panic Attack, I've never had one before. This is still so new.
Usually when you have palpitations like your heart us racing it means your synthroid dose is a little too high. Ask your endocrinologist to lower just a bit. I had to do that plus it made me have troybke falling asleep
