Advice needed please
Hi, I've just joined here so I hope I post this correctly. I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism back in early 2011. For the most part my levels have been generally normal - with the exception of during my pregnancies, which has gradually seen me on a 150mg dosage. I take this first thing in the morning

Tirosint
Its been 10.5 months since my thyroidectomy. I was at .69 TSH on levothyroxine 100 mgs a day with mega side effects. Doctors just switched me Tirosint 88 mgs a day. Am I to expect more serious changes, again. I lost my voice, got chubby, lost hair, aged, and more. Its been a life-changing experience
