hashimoto's disease
"I'm a 55-year old male, diagnosed with hypothyroidism on 8/30/16 (T4 lab 0.8 ng/dl). Started on Levothyroxine 50mcg at a weight of 226lb. On 11/10, T4 was up to 1.1 ng/dl (within normal range) and my weight was 224#. While taking the med, I experienced a dull headache in the morning along with terrible fatigue by midday. My PCP sent me to an Endocrinologist who increased the dosage to 75mcg in hopes of improving my T4 level and weight loss numbers. T4 was 1.3 on 3/10/17 but weight increased to 233#. With my Endocrinologist's approval, I stopped taking the med due to side effects and within a week the headaches and fatigue stopped and weight began to drop. Requested to try Armour instead but Endocrinologist is not a fan."
